Using the Contact API

The Contact API consists of the following classes and interfaces (packaged as a part of the Nokia API):

• ContactChange

  Use the ContactChange class to allow a MIDlet to retrieve information, like UID, list name, and change type, about the changed contacts i.e. contacts (including its fields) which have been added, deleted or updated in the phonebook of the device.

  Note: One or more contacts can be added or deleted at a time. However, only one contact update is possible at a time.

• ContactChangeManager

  Use the ContactChangeManager class to allow a MIDlet to receive contact changes from the phonebook of the device.

  Note: The requestContactChangeHistory(int action) method is not supported for Nokia Asha software platform devices.

• ContactChangeListener

  Use the ContactChangeListener interface to allow a MIDlet to discover changes to contacts in the phonebook of the device.
