Hi Surendra, as far as I know, access to the SIM data is restricted to applications which are signed by the same entity that signed the system image. That is, you either have to be Google/the Open Handset Alliance, or you have to build a custom system image. Then users of your sofware would have to flash their firmware with yours. If you plan to publish your app to end-users, that's not an option, because they cannot flash their firmware with yours.
If you application definitely needs access to the SIM, you could join the community and provide some effort so that the SIM-API will be opend in one of the upcoming Versions (like 1.6) of android. I got the same advice when I asked for the same feature, but sadly I and my company currently have no spare resources to do that. The data on the SD-card is secured by the file system permissions, and your app will never have the permissions to delete the files that other apps created. For card formatting, there might be some API, but I guess the same restrictions as for SIM access apply here. But while accessing the SIM is a rather common need, which might show up in a public API in future (at least I hope so, I don't have any information on that), I guess this will never happen for SD-Card-formating. best regards, Brian Schimmel On 20 Apr., 07:22, tsreddy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Android Engineers/framework Engineers, please answer my questions. > It is very important for me to finisg my application. > Your help will be higly appriciated. > > Regards > Surendra > > On Apr 16, 5:02 pm, Surendra Reddy T <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > Is there any API which can delete thecontactsand messages on the SIM card? > > And the API to format (erase all) the SD card ? > > > IF not, please suggest me a way to delete all on SIM and SD card.
