Event to detect a change in a phonebook entry

Hello all,

i'm new to Java Cards, i'm starting to develop my first applications.

I have a doubt here, is it possible to detect a change in a phonebook entry?

I mean, when the user adds, deletes or changes an entry in the SIM phonebook, my applet can detect it and perform any action?

I searched for events like EVENT_DOWNLOAD_USER_ACTIVITY, but i guess this is not what i need.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks a lot.

I don't think this is something that can be done done via the JavaCard API. I think you will have to look into the phone's own API and see if there's any way to trigger an event that sends a given APDU to the smart card, which in turn can trigger the card processing.

Thank you for your reply Lillesand.Well, in Java Card API maybe not, i was thinking of SIm Toolkit API..Probably you're right...but it would be kinda harsh having to consider every phone's API.Maybe someone has any other solution?Thanks a lot

Hi all,

I got a little bit more information about this.. for what i've searched, until the 3G STK Release 6 this had to be done considering the smartcard vendor's API (so Lillesand was kind of right i think) , but now with 3G STK Release 6 this can be done using that API. I guess it is maybe with the event EVENT_DOWNLOAD_DISPLAY_PARAMETER_CHANGE, but I might be wrong here, anyone has any clue about this?

Is there any smartcard vendor's API publically available? even if it is just for consult purposes...

I really need help on this...

Thank you,

Helri
