try this code:

public Scr() {
    Vector v = getContacts();
    Enumeration iterator = v.elements();
    while (iterator.hasMoreElements()) {
        String[] contact = (String[]) iterator.nextElement();
        for (int i = 0; i < contact.length; i++)
            add(new LabelField(contact[i]));
    }

}

private Vector getContacts() {
    Vector result = new Vector();
    try {
        BlackBerryContactList contactList = (BlackBerryContactList) PIM
                .getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY);
        Enumeration enumx = contactList.items();
        while (enumx.hasMoreElements()) {
            BlackBerryContact c = (BlackBerryContact) enumx.nextElement();
            String[] contact = new String[2];
            if (contactList.isSupportedField(BlackBerryContact.NAME)) {
                String[] name = c.getStringArray(BlackBerryContact.NAME, 0);
                String firstName = name[Contact.NAME_GIVEN];
                String lastName = name[Contact.NAME_FAMILY];
                contact[0] = firstName + " " + lastName;
            }
            if (contactList.isSupportedField(BlackBerryContact.EMAIL)) {
                StringBuffer emails = new StringBuffer();
                int emailCount = c.countValues(BlackBerryContact.EMAIL);
                for (int i = 0; i < emailCount; i++) {
                    String email = c.getString(BlackBerryContact.EMAIL, i);
                    if (email != null) {
                        emails.append(email.trim());
                        emails.append("; ");
                    }
                }
                contact[1] = emails.toString();
            }
            result.addElement(contact);
        }
    } catch (PIMException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return result;
}

Hi all

am doing contact sync application for blackberry i can get photo through the getbianry method , if i sent it to my server and i get it back i cant set or add that binary to contacts while Downloading i get binary like this [B@4a5910e0 , am using KXML so i get this binary as a string after that i convert this string to bytes using String.getbytes() or String.getbytes(UTF8) method then i encode it and add this binary to contact it gives error any suggestions pls?

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Image type is not supported

      byte[] raw="[B@4a5910e0".getbytes();

byte encoded[] = Base64OutputStream.encode(raw, 0, raw.length, false, false); contact .addBinary (Contact.PHOTO, Contact.ATTR_NONE, encoded, 0, encoded.length);

I'm also having the same problem. I keep getting Image type is not supported when adding an image to a contact via addBinary(). I'm opening my image from the file system on the device and then using EncodedImage to get the data (getData()). Why am I getting this error? Thanks!
