send email to generic ID in lotus notes using notesFactory in java

Their is a requirement in a project to send emails from java application through lotus notes.
Note: the domino server is installed on client server.
Currently i am able to send email using notesFactory on my local machine.using notes.jar file
Which accesses the user by .nsf by its password.
I.e creating secure connection by password.
And gtting database object by calling
Session.getdatabase(null,"user.nsf")
Its perfectly working.
But for some types of emails the client have shared a generic id...(link) over an email... By clicking on that link the generic mail box opens under active user. In separate tab... Through which we can send emails.
But have not shared their .nsf path or id or password.
It directly opens by clicking on that link.
Now i want to access that generic id in notesfactory session
I tried to keep open that id and then running my code...but still it sends email through active user itself.
And client is not ready to share the id and password details of that user. Not the id file is getting generated in our local machine.
Is their any way to send emails through that id?
If anyone want code i am using..ill share.

But for some types of emails the client have shared a generic
id...(link) over an email... By clicking on that link the generic mail
box opens under active user. In separate tab... Through which we can
send emails.
That does not sound like a "shared id", it sounds more like a mail database with the ACL set to give a group of users access.
When you send an email from within Notes (no matter if it is through the UI or through code), the actual logged in user is used as the sender. It is intentionally by design, to prevent users from spoofing the sender.
There is an unsupported way to fake the sender address, by dropping the email directly into mail.box, but that should only be done by someone know what they are doing.
I wrote a script library several years ago, intended to help sending emails. It includes the ability to set the sender address. You can find it on my blog, it's free to use. But I would not recommend you using it without first understanding what the code is doing.
Here is the relevant part of the code:
Set mailbox = New NotesDatabase(mailservername,"mail.box")
If mailbox.Isopen = False Then
Print "mail.box on " & mailservername & " could not be opened"
Exit Sub
End If
Set me.maildoc = New NotesDocument(mailbox)
Call me.maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("Form","Memo")
Set me.body = New NotesRichTextItem(maildoc,"Body")
Call maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("Principal", me.p_principal)
' If principal is set, we want to fix so mail looks like
' it is coming from that address, need to set these fields
Call maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("From", me.p_principal)
Call maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("Sender", me.p_principal)
Call maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("ReplyTo", me.p_principal)
Call maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("SMTPOriginator", me.p_principal)
Call maildoc.ReplaceItemValue("PostedDate",Now())
If me.p_principal<>"" Then
Call maildoc.Save(True,False) ' Save in mail.box
Else
Call maildoc.Send(True) ' Send mail normally
End If
You use the Principal field to set the sender address.

Gmail watch user inbox, history.getMessagesAdded is not returning the new message

Requirement is to sync mails from Gmail for an user into our CRM. The system in place is based on Google Pub/Sub which watches inbox of the user for any change and fires the notification to our HTTPs endpoint. More on this at Gmail cloud pub/sub.
Based on the above procedure we git history of changes. And then i am interested in only new messages, so history.getMessagesAdded is preferred as per this guide. Issue we are facing now is the first mail of a thread is not captured under messagesAdded all the subsequent messages are passing through our system.
Note: For the first mail, we do get push from Google. But when we try to get Messages added it turns out empty. Is there anything special needs to be done for the first mail of the thread or am i missing out something.

I was experiencing a very similar problem, and my mistake was that I was using the historyId from the push notification, the solution was to store the last known historyId on my database, so, every time I get a notification, I get the history from the id I have stored, not the one from the notification.
In my case, the historyId from the notification doesn't even make part of the history, maybe because of my watch restrictions: labelIds=['INBOX']
This is the google pub/sub notification:
{
message:
{
data: {"emailAddress": "user#example.com", "historyId": "9876543210"},
message_id: "1234567890",
}
subscription: "projects/myproject/subscriptions/mysubscription"
}
I was using the message.data.historyId, wich was causing the confusion!
The message.data, comes as a base64 encoded string, in this example I just decoded it!
Step by step for watching new e-mails on the inbox:
Do all the configuration in the google pub/sub.
Start watching the user with the filters you want (docs.: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/watch)
Store the historyId obtained in the step 2
When receive the notification, get all the events (history) using the stored id as the startHistoryId parameter (docs: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/history/list)
In the history list obtained on the step 4, look for the new messages: history.getMessagesAdded().
Update the last known history id in your database, so you don't need to deal with the whole history every time!
I hope it helps.

understanding the manual for google cast companion library

[SOLVED] I did not have the same namespace on both ends.
I have this manual page about the Google cast companion library and I don't understand the part about 'Support for data-centric applications' where it says
"This will send a message. Messages that are sent to the sender from the receiver can be
captured by extending DataCastConsumerImpl class and overriding the following callbacks:"
I have all the code for sending the message but when I press the 'confirmButton' nothing happens and the log doesn't throw any exceptions. So I wanted to add the 'onMessageSendFailed' callback but I have no idea how to add it to my code.
Thank you in advance for your help!
If you need more info I will be glad to give it!

First, what do you expect to happen when you send that message? Is your receiver registered to receive messages on that namespace? Is that not happening? You need to be more clear when you say "nothing happens". As for capturing onMessageSendFailed() callback, you need to either implement IDataCastConsumer or extend DataCastConsumerImpl and override the method(s) that you are interested in and then register your implementation with the DataCastManager instance:
mDataCastConsumerImpl = new DataCastConsumerImpl(){
public void onMessageSendFailed(Status status) {
// do as you want
}
....
}
...
mDataCastManager.addDataCastConsumer(mDataCastConsumerImpl);

Javascript-to-Java Communication in an Android Phonegap app

I am working on a Phonegap application that uses an Android service to check for message updates while the app isn't being used. In order to do that, however, I need the session key generated by the user's username and password. The generation of the session key is handled on the Javascript/HTML side of things while the app is active in the foreground.
My question is, how do I access a Javascript variable for use in Java? I need the session key value as a String object in Java. I just need to access it once, and I don't have a clue how Javascript-to-Java communication works.

You can pass a javascript variable to the java while using the plugins as below.
cordova.exec(null, null, "service", "action", ["firstArgument", "secondArgument", 42]);
Here the first and second parameter to the exec method are the sucess and failure calllback.
service and action are the native class and method names respectively.
And the last parameter ["firstArgument", "secondArgument", 42] are the javascript variables which you can pass to the native method.
For more details please go through the following link.

Android SMS API

I know that the SMS content provider is not part of the public API (at least not documented), but if I understand correctly it's still possible to use many of the SMS features as long as you know how to use the API(?).
E.g it's pretty straightforward to insert an SMS into your inbox:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", "+457014921911");
contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse("content://sms"), values);
Unfortunately this does not trigger the standard "new-SMS-in-your-inbox" notification. Is it possible to trigger this manually?
Edit: AFAIK the "standard mail application (Messaging)" in Android is listening for incoming SMSes using the android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS permission. And then, when a new SMS has arrived, a status bar notification is inserted with a "special" notification id.
So one solution to my problem (stated above) could be to find, and send the correct broadcast intent; something like "NEW SMS HAS ARRIVED"-intent.
Edit: Downloaded a third party messaging application (chompsms) from Android market. This application satisfies my needs better. When i execute the code above the chompsms notice the new sms and shows the "standard status bar notification". So I would say that the standard Android Messaging application is not detecting sms properly? Or am I wrong?

Unfortunately the code responsible for these notifications is hidden in the messaging application. The class MessagingNotification has a static method updateAllNotifications that you could call using a PathClassLoader and reflection:
PathClassLoader c = new PathClassLoader("/system/app/Mms.apk", getClassLoader());
Class.forName("com.android.mms.util.ContactInfoCache", true, c)
.getMethod("init", Context.class).invoke(null, context);
Class.forName("com.android.mms.transaction.MessagingNotification", true, c)
.getMethod("updateAllNotifications", Context.class).invoke(null, context);
This is obviously a very bad idea for several reasons but I can't think of another way to do what you described.

Could you trigger a PUSH notification after the SMS?
Thread: Does Android support near real time push notification?

Maybe you should replace
content://sms
with
content://sms/inbox
