Let's assume you have a single Entry object called myEntry. You want to extract all relevant Field ID-Value pairs, so you call the getEntryItems() method.
entryItemArray = myEntry.getEntryItems(); Now you have a list of items from which you can extract Values. Just iterate over the array and when you get to the Field ID of the diary field, retrieve the Value object. (Hint: If you create the EntryCriteria object correctly, you can retrieve *only* the fields you are interested in.) diaryValue = entryItemArray.getValue().getValue(); This Diary object, diaryValue, contains all the existing diary data packed into a specially encoded wad of data. What you want is create now a DiaryInfo array by means of the decode() method, like this: diaryInfoArray = diaryValue.decode(context); Finally, you've got your hands on the base object that contains the diary text, timestamp, and user. diaryInfoArray[i].getDiaryInfo(); // String -- Text of the current diary entry diaryInfoArray[i].getTimestamp(); // Timestamp object -- When the entry was created diaryInfoArray[i].getUser(); // AccessNameID -- The login user who created the entry Tim Widowfield http://www.widowfield.com ----- Original Message ---- From: sriram pm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 4:40:28 PM Subject: [ARSLIST] Regarding ARS Java API ** Hi All, How can I retrieve Data From a Diary Field using the Java API??
