Personal information management - EventSharing
Description
This example MIDlet shows you how to create an event, serialize it as a vCalendar entry, and send its contents as a message to another device, with an option to obtain the recipient's number from the current device's contacts list. When the event is created, it is stored to the local event database. The event is serialized using the PIM API. The message is sent as an SMS using the Wireless Messaging API 2.0.
