Simplest way to get contacts in s40(J2ME) with LWUIT.

Field.java

package com.exqitsolutions.numberTest;

import com.sun.lwuit.Form;
import com.sun.lwuit.layouts.BorderLayout;
import com.sun.lwuit.TextField;
//include the other nescessary packages

public class Field extends MIDlet{

public Form numForm;
public TextField num;

public void startApp(){
   
   //initialize display, theme and other optional packages
   //AnimatedGifFactory falls here
   ReadContacts();
}

public void ReadContacts(){

   numForm = new Form("Get Contacts");
   numForm.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
   num = new TextField();
   num.setConstraint(TextField.PHONENUMBER);//this is so important!!
   num.setHint("Number");
   numForm.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, num);
   numForm.show();
}

 public void pauseApp(){
 }

 public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional){
 }
}

Explanation(not nescessary though, but still
...):

• When a LWUIT TextField has two commands that show when active, T9 and Clear.
• Setting the TextField's constraint to PHONENUMBER does the whole job. When a user presses T9, the TextField behaves like an LCDUI TextField with a search command.
• When the user presses the search command, it displays the phone's contact list.
• Any contact the user selects will have the number associated with it added to the field.

Simple!!!

NB: This is a second gist, couldn't delete the first one. There might be an error or two up there, I typed this on my phone.
