Hi all,

I'm trying to get a contact list of my application users from the BBM Social Platform. I have the next code:

service = new ContactService(bbm->context());
// service.isValid() == false here
QObject::connect(service,				
                        SIGNAL(contactListUpdated()),
                        this,
                        SLOT(mycontactListUpdated()));

but mycontactListUpdated SLOT is never called. I thinks it is because I still don't have any users of my app.  But, how can I check this??? Is there any other way of initialize the contact list??

Regards.

That'll notify you for changes.  To poll for the list you could do this:

if (service->contactCount() > 0)
{
	foreach (const Contact &contact, service->contacts())
	{
		qDebug() << contact.displayName();
	}
}

The next step is tom retrieve the picture for every contact. This is my code:

service = new bb::platform::bbm::ContactService(bbm->context());

QObject::connect(service,
		SIGNAL(displayPictureUpdated(const QString&, const bb::platform::bbm::ImageType::Type, const QByteArray&)),
		this,
		SLOT(displayPictureUpdated(const QString&, const bb::platform::bbm::ImageType::Type, const QByteArray&)));


if (service->contactCount() > 0)
{
	foreach (const bb::platform::bbm::Contact &contact, service->contacts())
       {
	        fprintf(stdout, "%s-%s \n",contact.displayName().toLocal8Bit().data(),contact.handle().toLocal8Bit().data());
                bool sent = service->requestDisplayPicture(contact.handle());
                fprintf(stdout, "Request sent: %d \n", sent);

       }
}

and this is the console output:

javier miguel-aEJIqsvCiG0X/ljARIyN8429CG9HE8woIhdiT7XXXXXX 
Request sent: 0 

requestDisplayPicture returns false and displayPictureUpdated SLOT is never called.

Why is requestDisplayPicture returning false??

Regards.

It seems like displayPictureUpdated signal is only called if the contact has a picture set it his profile. So, If the signal is not called it is because the contact has no display picture set.

Hello,

     I need contact list of BBM.So below code i put into blackberry BBM example(https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Community-Samples/tree/master/BBMBaseSampleRegistration).

   But i not get any contact so please provide me some tips .

void RegistrationHandler::continueToMainAppScreen() {
	//TODO: Your applications main screen would be displayed here:
	ContactService *service = new ContactService(m_context, this);\
	bool value = service->isValid();

	qDebug() << value;
	QString contact = QString("%1").arg(service->contactCount());
	qDebug() << contact;
}
 

 Thanks.

I think this method only obtain a list of BBM contacts that have the application installed and registered, not all your BBM contacts.

K.So you know how to BBM contact fetach?

Thanks.

int q;
	m_service = new bb::platform::bbm::ContactService(m_context, this);
		if(m_service->contactCount()>0)
		{
			q = 1;
		}
		else
			q = 0;

	return q;

 I am not getting back the number of contacts, Im getting 0 number of contacts back. All im trying to do is to poll a list of the contacts. I cant poll a list until I get the number of contacts.

You can check if the service was initialized correctly with:

m_service.isValid()

 On the other hand, remember this service only shows BBM contacts that have installed your app.

Regards.
