how to use PIM lists properly in J2ME?

What is the correct way to check if a PIM string array is supported?

can I use:

if (MyContactList.isSupportedField(Contact.ADDR)){...}

or would I be better to check :

if (MyContactList.isSupportedArrayElement(Contact.ADDR, Contact.ADDR_STREET))

or both?

The following is my problem code:

if (MyContactList.isSupportedField(Contact.ADDR)) {
//...
//...
String[] AaddressLines = CurrentContact.getStringArray(Contact.ADDR, 0);;
}

It doesn't matter if I comment out the "if" block it always crashes. Only fix I can see is to ignore addresses altogether, please help.

On device I could not get Contact.NAME even though isSupportedField(Contact.NAME) returned true. Then I had to get the individual fields of Contact.NAME by calling

String[] Names = ContactObj.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);

When you concat all elements in Names array, you get Contact name. This worked on all devices.

Better way to do like this. Its working fine for me. See this sample,

String[] lists = pim.listPIMLists(PIM.CONTACT_LIST);
ContactList clist =  (ContactList) pim.openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY, lists[index]);
Enumeration contacts = clist.items();
while (contacts.hasMoreElements()) {

Contact c = (Contact) contacts.nextElement(); 
int[] fields = clist.getSupportedFields();
for (int count = 0; count < fields.length; count++) {
int value = fields[count];
// do smething

if (value == Contact.ADDR && c.countValues(Contact.ADDR) > 0) {
String[] addr = c.getStringArray(Contact.ADDR, 0);
...
...
  }
 }
}
