J2ME local files

[johnlittlepeap]

Hi,

Does anybody know if its possible to access the files in a phones
memory from a Java App. For instance, instead of http://, is it
possible to use file:/// as the location.

Specifically I'm talking about nokia phones (eg 3220).

I've looked into the FileConnection API but that API doesn't seem to
be on the 3220 phone.

You may simply use InputStream to read a text file inside a jar.
e.g. InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourcesAsStream("TextFileName");
I use this method to develop my j2me game.

Http protocol is a standard for all Java phones. However, most phones do
not support "file" protocol.

The OP indicated that he wanted access files on the phone, not files in
the JAR.

Due to security, a java program cannot access any files in phone outside
the jar. The only exception is files in the "Media center" (ie.
wallpaper, ringtone, etc). Of course, it depends on the phone model.
Most of them do not support this feature.
