• How to call BlackBerryContactList.choose () of the background application

  I am facing a problem while call BlackBerryContactList.choose () to background application (process) nothing happens.

  Below is the code

  List of BlackBerryContactList = (BlackBerryContactList) PIM.getInstance () .openPIMList (PIM. CONTACT_LIST, PIM. READ_WRITE);
  Choose PIMItem = list.choose ();

  When you call a user interface application works well, but even does not work when the application background.

  Please help me...

  This dialog works separately from your Application.  It is not actually a part of your Application.  It is a Global screen.  It works very well.

  But to use the dialog to choose, I think you should return control in your application, and as you've found, I think that you need to bring your application to the foreground in order to ensure that he choose the dialog box is displayed.  This means that you have to run a UiApplication, not a request.

  To make sure that it can request not bought to the forefront accidentally, you can set acceptsForeground() to false.

  But when you want to use the Choose dialog box, you will need to have this method returns true and then put your Application in the foreground.  When you get the answer to choose, you can set it to false and again take your application in the background.

  I suggest while you develop it you just create a UiApplication standard and make it work like that.  Then try to simulate an application by adjusting the acceptsForeground() at the right times.

  Since your application will in fact be a UiApplication, I suggest you have a too associated screen.  A simple splash screen will do.

  I hope this helps.

  PS > there is a small chance that you can requestForeground on your Application when you call the method of choice and it appears.  Try it.  But I will not be surprised if it fails.

• KeyPress events for background application

  Hi all

  I need to develop the following features:

  When a certain key sequence is pressed [say #data #], an application must be called

  The background application can check for such a sequence and start the event.

  However, the question is, if an application can have access to key events when he is not on top of the stack in the user interface. In addition, such a feature may be possible when another application [say a native application such as Message or address book] is running.

  I personally don't think it is possible, however, if someone met an implementation of the similar device or method to achieve, then it would be really great.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Basilio J V Souza

  This is possible if the user interface for your application is in the foreground.  If this is the case, you can use this technique:

• HomeScreen.updateIcon updates the bad background application

  I have an application with two entry points. A single point of entry runs as a background application to listen to calendar changes. When the Exchange Calendar I need to change my icon on the home screen to the GUI of my app app part. However, if I am in another application when the event occurs, the current application has its icon has changed.

  I know that there is another version of updateIcon() in 4.7, but how do I handle this in older versions of the operating system?

  Use a global event to send a message to your Application that the calendar has changed.  Your application can then some he wants, including the amendment of the application icon.

• Need to know about the background application

  Test Simulator with JDE version 5.0. I work at the request of the alarm. So I created a background application, where I look in the database and perform the necessary task vibrant just the phone. I have another point with nongui param. Its works fine. Now the problem is, I set an alarm for once, now is the time and the alarm goes off and the user he repeated for 10 minutes, average while I just still run my application in the menu of the eclipse without closing the Simulator, I was expecting that the alarm that was repeated should get fired, but it won't. the problem always occurs when I run the application without closing the Simulator. So what can be the reason for this, and if I just closed Simulator and run it from the eclipse menu its new working fine means repeated when time comes it vibrates the Simulator can someone explain me what are the problem here.

  Do not disable not either sorry here...

  Your code looks fine.

  You can run this code too early.  You probably need to wait until the device is completely upward before you check this:

• Correct procedure for a background application

  I'm just after some advice on the correct procedure for the handling of my application going on in the background.

  Basically I want the app to continue running if the user switches to another application, unless the user chooses the close menu item.

  So right now I'm handles the event close and him do ask the background so it stops at the close running event and my screen from the stack.

  public void close() {
      UiApplication.getUiApplication().requestBackground();
  }
  

  Now, this caused the menu item close not to work because she calls just this code as well.

  Am that I supposed to replace the narrow Menu with my own?

  Or I just hurt?

  I also want the app to close if the BB will restart or reboot.

  Chris

  What you have done is very good - I suggest that you also add an another menu item 'Stop the Application', which stops everything and makes a system.exit()

• How to show the background application

  Hello

  I want to follow an alert in my application when the application is in the background.

  I tried with this code: -.

  Alert: AlertDialog var = new AlertDialog();

  Alert.title = "alert";

  Alert.message = 'Notification '.

  alert.addButton ("Cancel");

  alert.addButton ("Show");

  alert.dialogSize = DialogSize.SIZE_SMALL;

  alert.addEventListener (Event.SELECT, alertButtonClicked);

  Alert.Show ();

  But it does not show the alert outside the application.

  But on further research on the web, I had found earlier than alert.show (IowWindow.getAirWindow .group ()); will allow the alert to be strictly within the application. Is this means that show() alert will generate alerts in the foreground, even when the application is in the background?

  Also, I want to put the application in the foreground when you press the button display. is it possible

  That is to say, the application state must be changed programmatically to 'normal '.

  Please help me

  Thanks in advance

  Looking for QNXSystemPowerMode to learn more about how to run your application even when it is in the background.

  Note, however, that if you do it wrong, you're going to drain the battery too fast and no one will want to use your application.  Do not set up just to sit in THROTTLED mode all the time if, for example, you want to just check a timer and do something later.  There are ways to use this very effective stuff, if you spend the time to learn.

  In addition, with regard to the "bring programmatically the app in the foreground", it is not possible unless you use a dialog box modal system (in other words, what you get with alert.show (()) just does it automatically.

  And it's probably a good thing... If I installed an app which itself has jumped to the forefront, becomes the active application, I would probably uninstall it immediately.  After all, how do you know that what the user is doing is not more important to him that no matter what your application wants to report?  It might be in the middle of a game, or give a presentation, or else where he does not want your application is throwing in the view.

  The same goes for using the 'modal system' form of the dialog as well.  I highly recommend that you not use it.  I believe that it is really only meant for critical problems of the system, such as the lack of flash memory or memory, and you will notice that it is not even use it to the situation of the latter.  (It might not for low flash either... I've never tried still get there.)

  If you want to attract the attention of the user, using a sound index (for now, the way that only acceptable, in my humble OPINION) or wait until the Notifications feature is documented and fully available for us.  That do the little "red flash" appears in the upper left corner and display a notification in the tray (top left corner) as well as how the PlayBook is currently app updates are available in the App World.

  If you insist on the use of the modal approach of the system, I would be very interested to learn what is the use case, as so far, I do not think that someone has described one that would generally be considered a valid use of this API, for most users.

  Finally, if you don't use a modal system, consider to give the user a way to disable it, as in your settings menu.

• pushGlobalScreen of background application give runtime exception.

  Hi all

  I've implemented an application extending application. making background app.

  also, I updated the property system and auto-start module.

  Now, I want to display a message to the screen. to do this, I used following code...

  showMessage (final String mesg) {}

  Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap (Bitmap.EXCLAMATION);
  UI UiEngine is Ui.getUiEngine ();.
  Screen = new (Dialog.D_OK, mesg dialog box,
  Dialog.OK, Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap (Bitmap.EXCLAMATION),
  Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL);
  ui.pushGlobalScreen (screen, 1, UiEngine.GLOBAL_MODAL);

  }

  If I put this code before appMain.enterEventDispatcher (); then it will run correctly and without error.

  When I call the showMessage method after appMain.enterEventDispatcher (); then it will give runtime error.

  My requirement is to read the udates server and then display the message. So I can't do it before appMain.enterEventDispatcher (); in the main method.

  I am getting following error

  java.lang.RuntimeException: pushGlobalScreen (modal) called by a thread of non-event

  How can I solve this error?

  Is there no work around to do the same thing...

  Waiting for response...

  Help, please

  Thank you

  Ashish...

  Replace this statement:

  ui.pushGlobalScreen (screen, 1, UiEngine.GLOBAL_MODAL);

  with this statement:

  Application.getApplication().invokeLater(
    new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        ui.pushGlobalScreen(screen, 1, UiEngine.GLOBAL_MODAL);
      }
    }
  );
  

• Background applications

  Hey guys,.

  I want to do is have my (invisible) application startup when the BlackBerry device starts up and be able to push screens (bring up screens) whenever it takes.

  How can I achieve this? I've read that signing the app is required, but this should be no descendants.

  In this case, what happens when the user accesses the Applications and running my application from there when it is already running in the background?

  Much appreciated,

  Pav

  1. press on the screen, just stay in the background.

  2. you don't need, press icon will bring the app to the foreground with no work on your behalf.

  3. start automatic ownership of the project.

• removal of Auditors in a background application running

  Hello

  I have a question: if I have an application that starts with the phone and runs in the background all the time, and in this application, I had some listeners, normal example: AbstractPhoneListener... I know that I must remove it when an application is closed. But what for running in the background app? I life average-applications, works all the time, and then the user reboots the device, application will be closed and started after the reboot. and then another AbstractPhoneListener will be added... This ofcourse situation doesn't happen... my problem and the question now is what to do with it? There is no way that I can recognize that just now, the user is going to restart the unit, so I'll remove the headphones and after the reboot, I'll add again. also there is no way I can check by program if the listener has been added and prevent then add it again...

  What can I do with it?

  Kind regards

  Hmm, it seems that the listener is deleted automatically to restarting the device...

• In any case to get the solid background application in Fireworks on Mac?

  Hello

  I'm just making the transition from PC to Mac that we have to use a PC at work.

  I can't get my head around Fireworks CS5 on Mac.

  I'm a web designer. When I'm working on a Web site, I usually open a lot of images in Fireworks and go back and forth between Fireworks and Dreamweaver.

  On my old PC, I used CS4. I use on my new Mac CS5. On the PC, Fireworks had a background Uni color, blocking all other applications running out of sight / behind the fireworks. On Mac, Fireworks has a transparent background, with Dreamweaver showing through between the images, I'm trying, which is a mess and visually very distracting and gives me a headache.

  Is there anyway to allow a solid context in Fireworks to blockout anything running behind?

  Thank you very much
