Re: Feasibility: Java based API access to gnokii

[Harsha Ramesh]

Thanks Pawel,

I shall work on it during my sparetime and should be able to post my work sometime soon. I think that building the wrapper will only help the existing phone support, which means that my Nokia 2112 will still not work :-( ... Anyways, something is better than nothing.

till later,
Harsha

Yes.

It IS in C. Device specific code is within libgnokii. There's no way
to prepare a plugin in other language.

It doesn't need. libgnokii supports it.

We have also AT driver.

It works (or used to work) on win32 as well. (Mac OS X as well but it
is rather *nix).

See rather include/gnokii*, wiki and serveral examples already posted
to the ml. gnokii.c lecture may be interesting as well.
