Overview

Using RecordStore.AUTHMODE_ANY throws NullPointerException.

Description

After a RecordStore has been created and the MIDlet tries to set the authorization mode to RecordStore.AUTHMODE_ANY, which defines that other MIDlet suites can have access to the record store, NullPointerException will be thrown. RecordStore.AUTHMODE_PRIVATE defines that only the MIDlet suite which has created the record store can access it.

How to reproduce

The problem can be reproduced with two RecordStore methods, openRecordStore() and setMode().

The following example uses the openRecordStore() method:

 RecordStore store;
 ....
       
 try {
 store = RecordStore.openRecordStore("TestStore", true, RecordStore.AUTHMODE_ANY, true);
 if(store!=null)
 display.setCurrent(new TextBox("New database", "Database created", 100, TextField.ANY))
           
  } catch (Exception exception) {
   display.setCurrent(new TextBox("Failure", exception.toString(), 100, TextField.ANY));
       }
   }

Solution

This problem has been corrected in S60 3rd Edition.
