In JAVA, I have implemented a new menu item to the "New Appointment" window (of the calendar view).

In the run() method of my ApplicationMenuItem class, I need to retrieve the data that have been written by the user in the summary field.

The problem is the following. Let's suppose the following scenario:

1- The blackberry user enters a value in the summary field of the new appointment.

2- Then he clicks on my new menu item --> now run() method of my ApplicationMenuItem class is executed. At the beginning of the run() method, I need to know the value enters by the user in the summary field.
But as the user has not saved his appointment before invoking my command, I can't access the value of the summary field. I have tested to execute the following code, but it does not work:

public Object run(Object context) 
	{
		try {
			UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen().save();
		} catch (IOException e2) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e2.printStackTrace();
		}
		// Here, I would like to retrieve the value of the summary field, but don't know how
		BlackBerryEvent e = (BlackBerryEvent) context;
                String sum = e.getString(Event.SUMMARY, 0); // it is empty; why??

Then, I have tried the following code, but it does not work.

	public Object run(Object context) 
	{
		BlackBerryEvent e = (BlackBerryEvent) context;
		try {
			e.commit();
		} catch (PIMException e2) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e2.printStackTrace();
		}
                String sum = e.getString(Event.SUMMARY, 0); // it is empty, why ????

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Mikaël.

Read the SPI docs for PIMItem. You can retreive the various values from the event using this interface.
