Want to write a small message filtering application (filter incoming SMSes based on their content to a specific folder) for Nokia E51. Java seems to be the easier ro开发者_如何学JAVAute.

Is it possible via Java API for Symbian series 60 phone? If yes, what exact SDK and tools do I need?

PS: app will be for personal use.

This is not possible using Java-ME; you can't access the SMS inbox in this way.

However as your target is S60 you have the option of using native Symbian APIs, or Qt (really not too hard). Check out this link for a description of manipulating SMS with Qt.

If you want to read the inbox SMS, unfortunately it's not possible with j2me. But you can possible to read the incoming SMS. Run your application and wait for incoming SMS. Then only it's possible. If your application is not running then it means you can't read the incoming SMS.

Basically, you have two path to choose.

1. Use some third party library for SMS processing (sending/receiving)
2. Write your own library, which will communicate with device using I/O (most GSM modems can communicate with PC via serial port of some sort - physical or virtual)

For obvious reasons, I recommend choosing the first part. If you look for recommendation, I can strongly recommend using SMSlib. I've been using it in one of my projects with great success, although some skills were needed to make it all work. After tedious process of installation was over, the rest (sending, receiving, creating callback services) was extremely simple and easy.

If you would like to try the second possible choice, than have a look at Nokia developers forum and Java Communications API.
