I'm trying to find out if it's possible to develop a key capturing application to analyse writing styles when using the SMS composer for the n73 using S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3 SDK in Java? Originally, I thought that all Java applications would be sand-boxed making it difficult to call the native key capture functions available to symbian, but nobody has been able to clarify this for me. Does it hold any truth?
Thanks,
A
Note: This answer comes from my friend who knows a lot more about these things.
As this J2ME FAQ states,
Can I access the phone's j2me? (memory, phone book, inbox, pictures...) ?
Generally no, this is considered a security risk and most manufacturers don't allow it. However, a very small minority do, so check out their developer's site.
So that'd be no. There's no direct way in MIDP libraries to access that data anyway. It may however be possible if you're lucky, but don't count on it. Also according to Sun this may be possible in MIDP3.
