Accessing device logs

The Logging Service API allows Flash Lite applications to access mobile device logging events such as call logs, messaging logs, and data logs. You can use the Logging Service to create Flash Lite applications that add, read, and delete logging events. For example, you can create Flash Lite applications that:

Automatically delete the records of received calls older than a specified number of days
Create unique records of calls based on criteria such as call duration
Provide useful information to mobile device users such as the number of MB of data sent and received for the day

Accessing the API and supported methods

To create a service object for the Logging Service API, use Service.Logging to identify the service provider and IDataSource to identify the supported interface:

var logging = new Service("Service.Logging", "IDataSource");

The IDataSource interface provides the following methods:

Add()

Use the Add() method to add an entry to the event log; for example, to create new types of application-specific log entries.
GetList()

Use the GetList() method to retrieve event details such as phone number or call duration from the event log.
Delete()

Use the Delete() method to delete an entry from the event log.
RequestNotification()

Use the RequestNotification() method to request notification of updates to the event log.
Cancel()

Use the Cancel() method to cancel an ongoing asynchronous call. This method is valid for any asynchronous call made through the Logging Service API.
