iSync N82 (all S60?) All-day Event Fix

fifers — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:11:47 +0000

After being constantly annoyed by receiving iSync messages about not being able to change all-day events on the phone I decided to see if I could find a fix. Luckily, Ali Rantakari provided a solution in his blog article Fixing the Nokia N82 iSync Plugin. It involves changing some settings in the plugin configuration. I’ve been using it for a month or so now with no problems. Thanks Ali!

warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion

I started receiving warnings about unsafe conversions soon after I started using Java 1.5 autoboxing. The warning was

Settings.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

In order to see the full warning, I added the following parameter to my javac ant task after consulting http://bobcat.webappcabaret.net/javachina/faq/ant_01.htm#ant_mid_Q100

This led to a more descriptive message.

Settings.java:43: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion

After a bit of reading, I found an article titled @SuppressWarnings and its applicability to various program elements which helped me through various scenarios and ideas to keep in mind when integrating with pre-1.5 Java code. I hope it helps you too!
