9. Adding Send Email Functionality
9.1. Add couple of private variables to the ViewStudentApp
:
private static ServiceRecord[] _mailServiceRecords;
public MessagesViewScreen _messagesViewScreen;
9.2. Add the Send email option to the menu and implement it:
// Send email to student
ImageMenuItem emailItem = new ImageMenuItem("Email Student", 400, 4, MENU_EMAIL);
emailItem.setCommand(new Command(new CommandHandler()
{
public void execute(ReadOnlyCommandMetadata metadata, Object context)
{
Student student = (Student) _keywordFilterField.getSelectedElement();
if (student != null)
{
try
{
ComposeScreen composeScreen = new ComposeScreen(null, _store, student.getEmail());
pushScreen(composeScreen);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Dialog.alert("composing screen: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
}));
_mainScreen.addMenuItem(emailItem);
9.3 Add four new Screen classes and a helper class to the project:
-
ComposeScreen.java
- start screen where email is composed -
MessageScreen.java
- screen showing the email -
MessagesViewScreen.java
- to view the created email -
MessageListField.java
- handles the drawing of the list of messages -
FoldersViewScreen.java
- view emails in the Outbox folder
The main functionality is taken from the Sample provided with blackberry plug-in: BlackBerryMailDemo
9.4. Following is the modified code to accommodate the application:
