Hi all

How can I find a list of APNs(Access Point Networks) programmatically?
Any help would be greatly appreciable.

Thnkx.

I don't think you can find it programatically.

If you have a service activated and you have the corresponding service book entry, then you can find the APN for that particular service.

here is a list of apns:
Carrier internet Settings (Apn Gateway, etc) - Pinstack.com - where Blackberry Professionals Connect!

I think one can get the list programatically.Heres How:
<code>
ServiceBook serviceBook = ServiceBook.getSB();
ServiceRecord[] records = serviceBook.findRecordsByCid( "WAP" );
for( int i = 0; i < records.length; i++ )
{
if( records[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase( "WAPTransport" ) )
{

}
}
</code>
@simon.hain @arunk
Suppose I obtained a desired APN from servicebook as described above.Can I set this apn into the system some how and force any further connections to use this apn?Its like overidding the current apn for connections.???

One crude way is that one can use a particular apn for httpconnection by providing the apn info in the url provided to Connector.open()
like this
<code>
Connector.open("socket://testserver:600;deviceside=true;apn=<apn name>;tunnelauthusername=<apn username>;tunnelauthpassword=<apn password>");
</code>
