Open a message
- Import the required classes and interfaces.
import java.util.Date;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Address;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Folder;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Session;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Store;
- Invoke Session.waitForDefaultSession.getStore() to retrieve the message store.
Store store = Session.waitForDefaultSession.getStore();
- Invoke Store.getFolder() to retrieve the folder that contains the message.
Folder folder = Store.getFolder("SampleFolder");
- Invoke folder.getMessages() to retrieve the message objects and store the message objects in a Message array. Iterate through the array and retrieve information, such as the sender and subject, to display to the BlackBerry® device user.
Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
- When a user selects a message from the list, invoke methods on the Message object to retrieve the appropriate fields and body contents to display to the user.
Message msg = msgs[0]; // Retrieve the first message
Address[] recipients = msg.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO);
Date sent = msg.getSentDate();
Address from = msg.getFrom();
String subject = msg.getSubject();
Object o = msg.getContent();
// Verify that the message is not multipart
if ( o instanceof String )
{
String body = (String)o;
}
//...
- Invoke Message.getBodyText() on a message to retrieve the plain text contents as a String. If the message does not contain plain text, the method returns null.
