public interface BlackBerryContactList
Contains the functionality for the BlackBerry-specific implementation of a ContactList.
To retrieve BlackBerryContactGroup
objects, invoke any of the items()
methods
that take an integer search type argument, and pass a value that is bitwise-ored with the constant
BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_GROUPS
. The standard items()
methods defined
in PIMList
will only return Contact
objects.
For example, invoking
list.items(BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_GROUPS)where
list
is an instance of BlackBerryContactList
, will return an
enumeration over all BlackBerryContactGroup
objects, but not BlackBerryContact
objects. Another example is invoking
list.items(BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_GROUPS|BlackBerryContactList.SEARCH_CONTACTS)which will return an enumeration over all
BlackBerryContactGroup
objects and all
BlackBerryContact
objects.

void lookup(String matching, RemoteLookupListener listener) throws IllegalArgumentException
The results are passed to your provided RemoteLookupListener's
items
method.
The lookup is done in the ContactList that is associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) account. It does not matter which ContactList instance this method is invoked on as it will do the same thing on all ContactLists.
matching
- String used for matching fields.listener
- Remote lookup listener.
IllegalArgumentException
- If you provide a bad parameter.BlackBerryContactList.lookup(Contact, RemoteLookupListener)
void lookup(Contact matching, RemoteLookupListener listener) throws IllegalArgumentException

items
method.

(may be null).type
- One of the address types defined by the BlackBerryContactList.AddressTypes

- If true, permit selection of addresses that will
use a different service (ie, BWC etc); otherwise, false.

Contact.NAME
field.
For example, the search string "name" will be found
within the field "Contact Name" and "First NAME", but not
within the field "lastname".

- The string used for the name field; the empty string matches all
contacts in the list and is identical to invoking PIMList.items()
.

- Thrown if an error occurs with the list, or if the

Contact.NAME
field.
For example, the search string "name" will be found
within the field "Contact Name" and "First NAME", but not
within the field "lastname".
matching
- The Contact
used for matching fields; if the Contact.NAME
field is not set or is set but both Contact.NAME_GIVEN
and Contact.NAME_FAMILY
are set to null

The sort order is a global setting that applies to all ContactLists. Therefore, this method will return the same value regardless of which ContactList instance on which it is invoked. The sort order can be changed by the user in the Options screen of the BlackBerry Address Book application.

PIMException
- Thrown if an error occurs with the list, or if the

The includeGroups
parameter can be used to specify if this listener should
also receive notification of changes to BlackBerryContactGroup
objects.
If includeGroups
is set to true
then the listener
object will receive change events for BlackBerryContactGroup
objects, as well as
notifications of any changes made to BlackBerryContact
objects in this list.
Listeners added using this method with includeGroups
set to true
should perform an instanceof
check on the parameter they are passed before
performing a cast on the object.
Calling this method with the includeGroups
set to false
is the
equivalent to calling the BlackBerryPIMList.addListener(PIMListListener)
method.
Note that the listener will remain associated with the native device
database even after the corresponding PIM list has been
deleted. To remove the listener use BlackBerryPIMList.removeListener(net.rim.blackberry.api.pdap.PIMListListener)
.
