Nokia has released an
Introduction To The FileConnection API (With Example) v1.1 which shows an example of how to access native device resources from J2ME. As always, they include some Nokia specific extensions:
| Property | Localized Property | Description |
| fileconn.dir.photos | fileconn.dir.photos.name | This points to the directory where photos captured with an integrated camera or other images are stored. |
| fileconn.dir.videos | fileconn.dir.videos.name | The same as the previous entry but with reference to videos. Downloaded videos are also stored here by default. |
| fileconn.dir.tones | fileconn.dir.tones.name | Ring tones and other similar audio files are stored in this directory. |
| fileconn.dir.memorycard | fileconn.dir.memorycard.name | Root directory of a memory card in case it is available. |
| fileconn.dir.private | fileconn.dir.private.name | Private work directory of MIDlet suite. |
these APIs are oh so important to bringing J2ME up to the level of C++ for Series 60 Symbian development. Unfortunately, we won't see a widespread rollout of this for quite some time...but at least developers can start working with this now.
