Changes

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);

));

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);

//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!");
