Hey,

I'm trying to make a remote search on a blackberry BES server, but the 'RemoteLookupListener' isn't getting a response on 'items()';

>>Link to my code

The built in BB Remote Contact Lookup is working fine if you wonder..

Thanks, Rotem

Hi Rotem,

The code is working fine for me, it returned 94 found contacts.

Are you testing on a real device or simulator? 

What is the device model and software version?

What SDK version are you using to compile?

Regards,

Hi,

I'm testing it on my device not on a simulator. (Bold 9900 OS 7.1)

I'm using BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse:

• Core version 1.5
• BlackBerry Java SDK 7.0.0.33
• Eclipse SDK 3.6

Thanks,

Rotem

What's the full OS version on your device (ex 7.1.0.123)?

Do you have another device active on the same BES that you could test this against?

[rreiss]

7.1.0.342(1149), Is there any known issues with that version?

Lucky me - I'm working at a cellular opeartor so I'll test it with another devices (Bold 9700/9780),

It will take some time to do the enterprise activition so I'll update you after I'm done..

Altough I realy want to use it on my personal device.

Thanks,

Rotem

OK, it is very strange..

I tried the app. on Bold 9780 and it worked, then I installed it again on my device and it also worked (altough it showed another number of contacts found..)

Any way,

I added a few things to the items method and it isn't working again..

May you take a look?

public void items(Enumeration results)
{
int count = 0;
String names = "";

while (results.hasMoreElements())
{
Contact con = (Contact) results;
names += con.getString(Contact.NAME, 0);
names += "\n";
results.nextElement();
++count;
}

cntFld.setText("Number of Contacts: " + count + "\n" + names);
}

Thanks again,

Rotem

[gbeukeboom · Accepted solution]

You can't cast an Enumeration directly into a Contact object:

Contact con = (Contact) results;

You will need to iterate through:

Contact con = (Contact) results.nextElement();

[rreiss]

OK,

What about this code?

I fixed the cast issue, but still not working..

I'm realy lost..

Thanks,

Hi Rotem,

Try it on the device that was working previously, if it works there then the code should be fine. It sounds like you may have a strange environment issue.

Hey,

The lookup is now working just fine!

I have a few more questions:

1. Is it possible to look for a BES contact by it's phone number?

2. Is it possible to get contact's picture from Active Directory if it's connected to the BES?

Thanks,

Rotem
