Fetching mail body in javamail

sunny sharma — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:18:43 +0000

When it comes to android, people uses Intent to send email, using putExtra() to add subject,body and attachments to it. But since it uses the default email from the android emulator or the android mobile itself so what’s the motto of using it. I don’t think it benfits us the most in that way.

However people have been using javamail for sending and receiving email and along with the attachments. That could be done even by intent in the android by setting up the smtp port and other properties for the mail.

I am not here to argue about that. I was trying to fetch email body(String) through the getContent() method which returns a MimeMultipart while not show you the body of the mail. In turn it will return the MimeMultipart object. To get the body of the mail you need to do the following :-

public synchronized void mailReceive(){ // Get the store try{ Store store = session.getStore("pop3"); store.connect(mailhost, user, password);


    	// Get folder

    	Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");

    	folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

    	int count = folder.getMessageCount();

    	//BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

    			// Get directory

    	Message message[] = folder.getMessages();

    	//sub = new String[message.length];

    	System.out.println("The length of messages is:-"+count);

        /*for(int i = 1; i  message.length-2; i--) {

            Message m = message[i];

            // Get some headers

            Date date = m.getSentDate();

            Address [] from = m.getFrom();

            sub.add(m.getSubject());

            String mimeType = m.getContentType();

            System.out.println(date + "\t" + from[0] + "\t" +

                                sub + "\t" + mimeType);
            Object o = m.getContent();

            if (o instanceof String) {

                System.out.println("**THIS IS A STRING MESSAGE**");

                //System.out.println((String)o);

                address.add((String)o);

            }

            else if (o instanceof Multipart) {

                System.out.print("**THIS IS A MULTIPART MESSAGE.  ");

                Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;

                ArrayList count3 = new ArrayList();

                count3.add(mp.getCount());

                System.out.println("It has " + count3 +

                    " BodyParts in it**");

                for (int j = 0; j < count3.size(); j++) {

                    // Part are numbered starting at 0

                    BodyPart b = mp.getBodyPart(j);

                    String mimeType2 = b.getContentType();

                    System.out.println( "BODYPARTS " + (j + 1) +

                                        " IS OF MIMETYPE " + mimeType);
                    Object o2 = b.getContent();

                    if (o2 instanceof String) {

                        System.out.println("**THIS IS A STRING BODYPART**");

                        System.out.println((String)o2);

                        address.add((String)o2);

                    }

                    else if (o2 instanceof Multipart) {

                        System.out.print(

                            "**THIS BODYPART IS A NESTED MULTIPART.  ");

                        Multipart mp2 = (Multipart)o2;

                        int count2 = mp2.getCount();

                        System.out.println("IT HAS " + count2 +

                            "FURTHER BODYPARTS IN IT**");

                    }
                    else if (o2 instanceof InputStream) {

                        System.out.println(

                            "**THIS IS AN INPUTSTREAM BODYPART**");

                    }

                } //End of for

            }

            else if (o instanceof InputStream) {

                System.out.println("**THIS IS AN INPUTSTREAM MESSAGE**");

                InputStream is = (InputStream)o;

                // Assumes character content (not binary images)

                int c;

                while ((c = is.read()) != -1) {

                    System.out.println("***************************");

                    System.out.println("***************************");

                	System.out.write(c);

                	System.out.println("****************************");

                	System.out.println("****************************");

} }

This code will surely return you the body of the mail including the HTML text messages too.

Twenty – eight Card game

sunny sharma — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:05:14 +0000

The logic of the Twenty-eight game is quite simple, since i used to play it in the college days. Though i was really not so good in it. The game is based on the number of rank cards you get and your partner’s support. After all its a tricky game. Let’s see what can i do which this data.
Amazed that twenty-eight has never been maded before. Looks like the game is a little different and more different then other card games.

My Mobile Game

sunny sharma — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 05:34:35 +0000

I have an idea of making a game of mobile phones regardless of whether its a cheaper devices or an android phone. I was thinking on which one to develop it and that was so stupid of me. Really, if both the platforms depends on jdk then what’s the big deal whether it is a j2me or android. Making android easier doesn’t change the fact that CLDC mobile phones will survive in India. So, my chances are there but i have less time. I just need a roadmap to build. But before that i need to see how the game applications specially first in j2me work on. And obviously the focus will be on card game.

xcode and iOS SDK for Leopard

sunny sharma — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:18:27 +0000

Friends, i had downloaded several xcode setup and sdk for my mac os x leopard version 10.5.5 but none of them worked out.
I was really a pain to download these huge file and then install them on your mac machine which takes alteast 3 long hours to install.

Actually i am running the mac OS on vmware. And if you try to install xcode3.2.6 then it won’t work as it would ask for mac OS X snow leopard of version 10.6.x . So it would be better not to waste you time and go for xcode3.1.3.

Download the files for xcode3.1.3 and iOS SDK from here and you can do an easy installation.

Thanks guys . Hope this post helps you.
Please do ask questions if you face any problem or provide me with your valuable feedback.

walking through iOS SDK and xcode

sunny sharma — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 05:37:39 +0000

So what if i installed Mac OS 10.5.5 and now i am not getting proper xcode setup and SDK to install in my mac os and run it which is running on vmware. First of all this is crazy man. I have been doing these days and the result is simply zero.

This has been really frustrating man. It took almost 2 and half hours to install just xcode setup. I don’t know why these apple people likes to make such a bulky softwares. The Mac OS itself is around 6 GB (depends on what you are using leopard(10.5.x) or snow leopard(10.6.x)) and after that you need to install 4.13GB of xcode and iphone SDK.

Let’s see what happens now ….

Setting up Android

sunny sharma — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:22:50 +0000

For the record, I would like to say that the documentation of the android setup at developer.android.com is really cool and awesome. I didn’t even break a sweat to setup android in my system. Just that the android SDK version which i am using is 2.2 in place of 3.0 . I don’t know what suddenly happened when i tried it with sdk 3.0 but at that moment i was really very exhausted to figure that out.

Whatever, that doesn’t really matter right now. The thing that matters the most is the tutorial part of it. I studied it last night and I found it that android unlike j2me emphasises on xml file and the editing this xml file can do wonders for you in terms of UI.

For the record I haven’t worked on UI for mobile applications much and also it very idiotic to compare j2me and android since both are very different platform, but i must admit that android is really cool. It something like less code and more output kind of stuff.

Let’s see what happens next …

Pizza Hut!!!!!

kool Qt-3.3 (The Starting Window)

sunny sharma — Wed, 20 May 2009 09:09:13 +0000

All these days i when i started the college sessions I was always expecting to do something graphically. Means if i say that in other words it would be “working with gui” and i at last i found something that does that…Qt.

Qt, often pronounced as “cute” is a c++ toolkit used for the gui development.. It is fully object-oriented and platform independent.

Let me show you a little code which i have learned.This is based on qt-3.3.

#include /*this line includes QApplication class defination. It manages wide

application resources*/

#include /* its a gui button */

int main( int argc, int ** argv) // this is undoubtly main function

/* the argc and argv means the same as in the c++. argc refers to the number of command line arguements

and argv refers to the array of command line arguements */

QApplication a(argc, argv);

QPushButton hello(“Hello World”, 0); //here 0 refers to the parent window inside which the button is located

hello.resize(100, 30); //its simply just to get the size of the window

a.setMainWidget( &hello );

hello.show(); /*the widget is never visible when you create it. you have to use

show() to make it

visible */

return a.exec();

You just have to save this code in a .cpp extension file and compile it with the following command( in this case suppose the file name is helloworld.cpp, saved in a folder named qt3)

qmake -project // it makes a .pro extension file. Here it creates a qt3.pro extension file

qmake -o Makefile // it automatically creates a Makefile

qmake

make

If the command runs successfully it creates a helloworld.o (object file).
and to run the executable part ( in this case qt will be created). So the command will be ./qt3

For more information about the qmake click here

run this program and enjoy the GUI…

Fedora Activity Day 2009 (FAD 2009)

sunny sharma — Tue, 19 May 2009 09:39:39 +0000

On 14th May 2009, Thursday, a Fedora Activity Day was organised by the DGPLUG members of Dr. B C Roy Engineering College. Though this event was supposed to be organised during the Tech Fest but due to some unavoidable circumstances this event was delayed.But still we guys were determined to do something like FAD and at last we did it. We invited Rangeen Basu Roy Chowdhury a student of NIT Durgapur to FAD. Ratnadeep convinced him to take session on FEL.FAD volunteers had Harsh Verma, Kishan Goyal, Ratnadeep Debnath , Subhodip Biswas, Arindam Ghosh, Meejanur Rahaman, Dibyanshu Jaiswal and me included in the event.

The event began around 12:00 AM in the B C Roy computer science lab. All the computers in the lab were running on the Fedora LIve CD. Arindam Biswas started the event in the awesome way by telling people about Fedora project and Open source followed by Kishan Goyal who spoke on “Myths about Fedora”. As he was speaking about the myths i was feelings as if i have faced this myths as a newbie and also while marketing for fedora. Subhodip Biswas accompanied him. After that the 3 girls occupied the place talking about Inkscape. They were preety awesome, showing some of their fabulous creations. Then I and Rangeen went on, showing the magic of KDE to the participants.After that we took a short break which was quite necessay …

We resumed the event, talking about IRC which was taken by Rangeen and me. It was followed by Rangeen who took a session over Fedora Electronics Lab. It was pretty cool indeed.Due to unexpected powercut the session was halted there itself and Subhodip Biswas announced that 15th May would be a session on C, gdb, java etc.

And the day ended happily…

Fedora Install Fest 2009

sunny sharma — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:23:59 +0000

30th January 2009.

It was around 1 pm when my phone rang. I picked up the phone and according to my guess it was kishan on the other side. I got a shocking news from him that subhodip da and arindam da would be late as they were at kolkata and had just arrived. Ria didi was too ill to come and ajitesh da was too missing . We had no idea what we were going to do. I took a bath, dressed up quickly and ran to the college. I was having a conception that there would be a maximum of 20-25 students to handle but as soon as i entered the Albert Einstein Hall I saw the hall packed with the 1st year and 2nd year students. At a time I was happy as well as worried. Happy because the students responded to our call and worried because we were only students to handle it.

We were ready with the projector setup and the program started with an inaugral speech by kishangoyal. Since this was his first time so he was little afraid. But still he delivered it nicely by telling the crowd about FOSS , LINUX , FEDORA ,EULA(end user license agreement). Then it was ratnadeep’s turn. He too spoke well in his typical geek style. After that they started showing installation of the current fedora distro fedora10 on the virtual box. But then I realised that many of the things bounced over their head and they felt bored. So I thought of making them understand in a simpler way. I got up , took the microphone, intorduced my self and started talking about foss ,fedora and EULA in the best simplest way i could. I thought of making them interested by questioning them and let them answer in their own way. My examples too helped them a lot.

Soon the installation started and our volunteers helped them doing so. While the installation was going on we showed them some of the videos related to foss. But then ajitesh da entered followed by arindam da and subhodip da. The stage was occupied by them and they delivered their speech. At the end ratnadeep showed them the process of doing c in the gcc compiler. In between many students slipped away but there were many who were sitting listening to us.

So at last we ended the program and I must say it was a good one.

thankyou
