API bridge for Symbian - java-me

i want to read Sms from a Symbian Mobile and send the Sms to a server. am not conversant with symbian programming languages so i want to use J2ME and interface with API_BRIDGE. my problem is i cant find any examples on how to use API_BRIDGE with J2ME. kindly assist with articles or examples of using api_bridge.

All relevant information about API Bridge for J2ME is here:
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/J2ME_Api_Bridge_Interface
As you can see, it currently doesn't support reading the SMS database. It's possible if you're willing to (1) Write the sms plugin in Symbian C++, package and sign it yourself or (2) Hunt for a plugin already created by someone else
I've tried option 2 for you but failed. Hopefully you'll have better luck / searching skills.
Another thing you need to be aware of is API Bridge can only be installed on Symbian S60, Anna and Belle/Belle Refresh. If you're using Symbian S40 / Asha then sorry, you're out of luck. As far as I know, there are no known methods of accessing the SMS database from J2ME on those devices.

How to develop Spotify Desktop Applications, now Libspotify is discontinued

have done my due diligence, and not found any other posts that answer this question, but as usual, if you know a similar question, point me that way!
I noticed a long time back that Libspotify has been dicontinued:
(https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/)
So, my question is - what should we do for developing Desktop applications?
They do state: "We hope to be able to provide you with a new library for other platforms." But, this has been going on since 2015!
I have seen many projects in GitHub still using Libspotify - so what should we do? An update was promised "in the upcoming months" but I've not seen anything yet.
What should we do for developing Desktop Applications?
We at Spotify don't currently provide playback as part of our platform offering outside of our iOS and Android SDKs, and I don't have any updates on that at the moment. As mentioned on the website, we hope to be able to provide playback SDKs for more platforms in the future. We don't support any new development on libspotify.
You can use the Spotify Web API to interact with Spotify in a variety of ways, including getting information about metadata, and accessing/modifying user libraries and playlists, which may be useful. You can also use the Applescript API to control playback on macOS, which may also help.
The Spotify Web API is pretty straight forward to use. Of course it defines the protocol rather than implements it so it is OS independent.
I put together a few classes to help unwrap some of the JSON parameters simply. These were written in Swift for macOS.

Nodejs and/or PHP mobile detection

Is there a good and reliable library or method, or whatever, that can detect if the request is coming from a mobile environment?
I found a few packages, but non seems to work properly. I am looking for a basic/simple one that is able to detect just this: isMobile; isDesktop. Needs to be reliable, up to date and working.
If there is none free, even payed solutions would be acceptable. I am not looking for 100% detection, but I expect that top most popular devices to be detected without problem.
I am looking for a nodejs (express) solution, and/or a PHP one.
For PHP you can use Mobile-detect. According to its official description in Github, Mobile_Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices.
For node.js you can use mobile-detect.js. It's a port of Mobile-detect to javascript.
DeviceAtlas has a good article:
How to detect a mobile browser by Pawel Piejko.
They have examples with PHP, Java and Python and they have API to use. It is a a paid service but with free trial.
Mobile detection is a complicated problem. Of course it's easy to detect an iPhone with some client-side JavaScript, but mobile devices are not only iPhones or Android phones. And if you want to detect it before running client-side JavaScript like you need here then you cannot rely only on client-side JavaScript.
More options
General options:
WURFL, 51Degrees, OpenDDR, MobileESP, ua-parser, Detect Mobile Browsers.
Node modules:
mobile-detect,
device-detect,
detect-mobile-browser,
sniffr,
dagent,
device-detective,
ismobilejs.

Xamarin.IOS -> How to interact with sharing to Facebook, Whatsup, etc

I have an app where I wanna share some content to facebook, whatsup, mail and message. How do I interact with the native apps installed on the users phone. It would be something like the Implicit Intent for Xamarin.Android.
I'm using MVVM Cross.
Any help to guide me to the right direction is appreciated.
Thank you,
You need to use Intents in Android and URL Schemes in iOS to accomplish this. You can find the information you need on the developer portals:
Android
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android
http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send.html
iOS
What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?

Posting to Instagram via Script/Online/Program. Anything is good but mobile

I just wanted to know if there is a way to upload images to Instagram WITHOUT using iOS / Android?
I'm really desperate for a solution, if I can't find anything I will have to run a virtual android device or something like that (I have a virtual machine running Windows XP 24/7 anyway)!
Instagram's official RESTful API does not allow for uploading photos, since they want to encourage "life on the go."
However, some work has been put together to document their iPhone API, and some unofficial client libraries have even been made. Check out https://github.com/mislav/instagram/wiki
It seems that's your only alternative at the moment. None of the unofficial libraries look very complete, so you'd have to do the work of sending requests manually, using the reverse-engineered API specs provided in the wiki.

I want to capture audio for all VoIP applications such as Skype, G-Talk, Msn, etc

I need some links to record both microphone and audio in all the applications. I'm developing a audio recorder feature for an application.
I tried intercepting some APIs like IDirectSound and Wave API but I'm missing something since some applications are recorder and some others aren't.
Can someone send me a clue around this?
Best Regards.
In my compary we've developed an Audio Recorder SDK because it's very difficult to make all the hooks you need to intercept all the applications. You should hook MCI Wave API calls, IDirectSound interface and the new IAudioClient interface, part of the Windows Vista / Windows 7 Core Audio engine.
Our SDK supports Skype 4.x and 5.x, G-Talk and Msn. We've tested with other applications and it's working but we don't support them.
Additionally, we bring some UI features such as handling button clicks and get windows text using the SDK.
I hope this information can help you.
