Method Detail

getDefaultInstance

public static Session getDefaultInstance()

Retrieves this device's default session.

Use this method to retrieve the default session associated with the handheld (typically the enterprise email account).

There is a possible timing issue with startup. If the various service book entries are not yet present on the handheld, this call returns null. This does not always mean that no service is available; it is possible that the service just is not yet registered.

Returns:

The default session instance associated with the handheld, or null if one can't be created (for instance, due to lack of Service Book configuration information on the device).

Throws:

ControlledAccessException - if the application is not granted to access the default email service.
