I am trying to read out the Nickname of a Contact in a BlackBerry Java app but the method call

getPIMList().isSupportedField(BlackBerryContact.NICKNAME)

always tells me that the Field is not supported.

Am I doing something wrong or is it really not supported? Because the devices I am testing on allow me to add a Nickname field in the address book.

Confirming it. Could not read nor write BlackBerryContack.NICKNAME. Although can enter it through "Contacts" phone/simulator application.

Hai,

u can read name from contact as,

try {
            BlackBerryContactList berryContactList = (BlackBerryContactList)    PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_WRITE);
            Enumeration items =  berryContactList.items(BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_CONTACTS|BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_GROUPS);
            while(items.hasMoreElements())
            {
                BlackBerryContact contact =(BlackBerryContact) items.nextElement();
                String[] name = contact.getStringArray(BlackBerryContact.NAME, 0);
                String firstName = name[Contact.NAME_GIVEN];
                String lastName = name[Contact.NAME_FAMILY];
            }
            
        } catch (PIMException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Yes, I can read name. But, as Subj suggests, we speak about NICKNAME.
