  • Hi Sanja,

    The code to retrieve particular key from UserData coming with an event please use the following code:

    --- for string value
    [font=Courier]<event object>.getUserData.getPair("<key name>").getStringValue();[/font]

    --- for integer value
    [font=Courier]<event object>.getUserData.getPair("<key name>").getIntValue();[/font]

    I wasn't able to test it... Hope it will work.

    René

  • Hi, René and Sanja,

    I looked at Java SDK and it is really cumbersome to retrieve all the attach-data there.

    I have found Enumaration and Iteration not to work properly - using  .getEnumeration() to return an enumerator would fail to deliver what I need - it would return the hasMoreElements = false even though I can clearly see is as being loaded with at least three sets of key-value pair.

    I have also failed to get KeyValueCollection do anything useful on its own. Unlike C#, there is no .Keys member to give you all the keys! (At least I don't know how).

    Here is how I have managed to get it working... It might not be the smartest way, but at least it works!


              KeyValueCollection attach_data = event.getUserData();

              Object[] arr = attach_data.toArray();
                                           
                int count;
                for (count = 0; count < arr.length; count++) {
                    KeyValuePair kvp = (KeyValuePair)arr[count];
                }

    I hope this will make your life a bit easier  :P
    I really wish there was a simple way to map KeyValueCollection into KVP pairs!!! And if someone knows how to do it (my way is simply awful), PLEASE tell me.

    Best regards,
    Vic
