Adding Send Email Functionality
9.1 Lets first add the api which we will need for the email functionality
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail;
9.2 In order to add send email functionality to our application, we must have the appropriate menu option in our application.
// Email selected student MenuItem emailStudent = new MenuItem(new StringProvider("Email Student"), 500, 5); editItem.setCommand(new Command(new CommandHandler(){ public void execute(ReadOnlyCommandMetadata metadata, Object context) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } } ));
9.3 Now lets get the students email address and name
Student student = (Student) _keywordFilterField.getSelectedElement(); String studentEmail = student.getEmail(); String studentName = student.getname();
9.4 Now we must set up a new message and content. Here we create a new message in the SENT folder of the device and fill it with a predefined body
Store store = Session.getDefaultInstance().getStore(); Folder sentFolder = store.list(Folder.SENT); Message msg = new Message(sentFolder); // Set up recipients Address recipients = new Address(studentEmail, studentName); //Add the recipient to the message msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, recipients); //set a subject for the message msg.setSubject(“Team 1 test email”); //sets the body of the message msg.setContent(“This is a test email sent to: ” + studentName); //sets priority msg.setPriority(Message.Priority.HIGH); //send the message Transport.send(msg);
9.5 Lets catch any exceptions and notify the user if the message was sent.
catch (Exception me) { System.err.println(me); } Dialog.alert(studentName + " has been emailed!");
