Hi

I have tried to manage contact groups but without results, i think that it could be with PimList.getCategories(); but no results.

Thanks.

Hi

i have found that when yo make a contactList.items(), the items returned contains the groups but they are objects of type

net.rim.device.apps.internal.addressbook.groupaddresscard.GroupAddressCardMember@3061a7d3

I have try with instanceof BlackBerryContactGroup, because i dont know what kind of object is this GroupAddresCardModelImpl

thanks

this is very strange, when you use the debugger and see the items you can see the contacts and the groups in the field _addressCards, but when you use

Enumeration items = contactList.items();

while(items.hasMoreElements())
{
     Object nextElement = items.nextElement();

}

you only have the contacts, why if you have the groups in the items when you make the loop you only have the contacts?

I have found a solution to list the contact groups

BlackBerryContactList contactList = (BlackBerryContactList)BlackBerryPIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_WRITE);
                 
Enumeration items = contactList.items(BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_GROUPS);   

but still i need to create new groups, in the api said that i can only read the groups there is any way to create and update groups?

From a third party application's point of view, contact groups are read only.  They can not be created or modified pragmatically.
