does anyone able to create a file in BB using Java? I need to create a temporary file so that I can attach a message(from the inbox) to an email that im about to send.

Thanks

I hope I got your point:

In order to create a file on BB you can use the FileConnection Class.

P.S.: I just saw your question on "my" Thread, there you find more information ;)

if you don't intend to end your application in between you don't need to save the file to disk, you can just hold it in memory as a byte-array or similar.

what i need to do is to create a custom application to create and send emails. part of this is to be able to attach some files(either a message from the inbox, call logs, contacts, an image file in the SD card). My colleagues suggested that I will read the messages from the inbox, create a file from those messages and attach the created file to the email itself. I will try the code suggested by Happe79. Another requirement is to be able to browse through the folders and manually select the file to be attached.

Thank you for the help.

just a quick question.. how can i identify what i will put in the content type here:

SupportedAttachmentPart attachPart =
new SupportedAttachmentPart(multipart, contentType,
fileName, readFile(fileName));

I've tried to use: "image/jpeg" (i know that what im attaching is a jpg file). but the attachment cannot be viewed.

You just have to know what you're attaching. Whenever I'm not sure of the MIME type of a file extension I'll usually either Google it or check the "mime.types" file in my Apache config dir. Eg:

image/jpeg                      jpeg jpg jpe

So it seems as if your mime type is accurate. The problem is most likely somewhere else. I assume your readFile method returns a byte[]? Have you tried using a png image (or just a simple text email) instead? Work on getting a baseline.

BTW, you don't need to create any temporary files - just cache your content in memory.

@richard.puckett

yes, the readFile method returns byte[]. I've used the code suggested by pa4o85. I've used image/jpeg as the content type. but to no avail.
