• Create a background thread to consume a webervice and invalidate Manager to refresh the screen

  Hello

  I create an application that uses Web services to place objects on a VerticalFieldManager with the received information. What I'm trying to do is first tap on the screen and then consuming the Web service on the merits in order to refresh the screen while he receives the info. Right now my app uses the webservice from the preview screen, but it doesn't push the following until he finished consuming the WS.

  I read that you can create a background thread, and then syinchronize with the user interface refresh (invalidate()) screen, but I don't have all the tracks of where to start. Can someone help me please? Including creating a background thread?

  Thank you very much!

  The best way for your background screw to change your user interface within the constraints of the

  UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable()
  {
      public void run()
      {
                   //your UI modifying code here
          }
  });
  

• Problem chart/getting updated when you press on the background thread notification dialog box

  I have a user who is graphical reports strange behviour after our request and only under the following condiitions alarms:

  1 sets of users clock back to trigger the alarm

  2 user locked the BB

  3. the user receives alarm 1 minute later

  4. the user unlocks the BB

  The strange behavior is that the background seems to resemble a back buffer bland with a rectangular hole where the notification dialog box should be.  The user clicks then the graphics and where the button should be back to normal.

  The question is not if the user does not lock the BB first - it's only under the condition of deadlock that the problem occurs.  The user statement also sometimes see a dialog "Please wait" when running our application after unlocking, but never when our application is stopped.

  Model is 8310 with 4.5 and approximately 3 MB of free space depending on the situation-> filefree.

  The dialog box is to be generated and added to the queue by a background thread using the following method:

      private void notifyUser(String msg) {
          UiEngine ui = Ui.getUiEngine();
          EncodedImage icon = Theme.getIcon(false, true);
          Bitmap bm = null;
          if (icon != null) {
              bm = icon.getBitmap();
          } else {
              bm = Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap(Bitmap.EXCLAMATION);
          }
          synchronized (Application.getEventLock()) {
              Screen screen = new Dialog(Dialog.D_OK, msg, Dialog.OK, bm, Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL);
              ui.pushGlobalScreen(screen, 1, UiEngine.GLOBAL_SHOW_LOWER);
          }
      }
  

  I checked the problem does not occur on the "BOLD", Pearl Flip, or 8100 with real hardware.  The problem never happens in simulators (tried about 6 models).

  Any thoughts?  Is there something wrong with the code above or spark a dialogue for a non-event like this thread?

  Thanks in advance...

  The workaround for the "locked" State is to implement MemoryCleanerListener in your main application class. This listener is notified when the device is locked. We define a property here "deviceWasLocked", then query this property of our custom popup dialog to determine if we arrive on a locked screen.

  Then we switch our application in the foreground (requestForeground) that clears up this particular issue, and any event goes well.

  The problem of 'missed calls' is a little more complicated, unfortunately, but you're not complaining that one!

  Having said all this, I'd love to see other ideas on how to solve this problem. We strugggled for several weeks with this problem when the 4.3 is released.

• How to refresh uicomponents in the background thread?

  12.1.3 Jdev

  Hello, how do I update a component in the background thread?

  No, there is not.

  This is the web application, so there are significant differences comparing to desktop applications and things must be implemented in a different way.

• The background thread alert does not work

  Hello

  I have read the article http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/348583/800332/800505/800608/... and followed the instructions to display the background thread alert. However, the alert is not displayed and IU locks (freezes). Specifically, the event of click/touch does not work, but the background thread continues to run.

  Structure of my program. The main class (with the main function) extends UiApplication. I create in the function main instance of the class that extends the Application. This class starts backgorund wire. I am missing something or making the wrong way?

  Sorry I have expired, I was going to write a long response to this.

  But in short, remember that your automatic boot process and your user interface process, both through main with different parameters and are the BlackBerry is concerned, different applications.  So it may be an Application, the other can be a UiApplication, and both can enterTheDispatcher.

  No two instances of the same Application, they are two different Applications.  They can be of different instances of the same Application class, but it is a special case.  It depends on what you create in the main routine.

  You can play a merry dance with such things.  For example, having a UiApplication be started by the automatic boot process, and then the boot gui process can find it and just put in the foreground, rather than creating a new UiApplication.

  Generally however people create a request and a UiApplication.  The problem with the use of these different applications, is that things like static are not shared.  Therefore, use something like RuntimeStore to share data.  It is a pain and something that if I can avoid.

  It is perfectly possible to have a UiApplication, which starts when the device starts, runs Background Threads that are working in a network and is bought in the foreground by clicking on an icon.  Code is more complicated, but not much.  And you must have complicated the code when you run the network Threads background to deal with the unit off power and then power anyway.

  Hope that clarifies somethings.

• To access the aggregate Interface customized with KAppBoss in the background Thread

  My aggregate of IID_ABCIINTERFACE custom KAppBoss Interface.

  When I do this

  IApplication* iApplication = GetExecutionContextSession-> ()QueryApplication();

  IQPSAssetCacheManager InterfacePtr<IQPPDPAssetCacheManager> (iApplication, UseDefaultIID());

  AbcInterface InterfacePtr < ABCInterface > (iApplication, UseDefaultIID());

  abcInterface-> xyz();

  hand thread without problem but even of the background gives thread point abcInterface to Null & crash.

  Background threads have a separate session which provides that model interfaces.

  Move this cache to a model plugin Manager.

  Make sure you also it can co-exist with multiple instances of itself - there is one per session.

  Edit: I just realized that you were talking about kAppBoss.

  Most interfaces on kAppBoss are UI anyway, so I guess (without knowing for sure) he is stripped in the same way.

• complete execution while the background thread runs

  After the passage of TestStand 4.1 in 2012, I see an interesting problem.

  I start a MainSequence via the SinglePass execution entry point using the parallel model. In ProcessSetup (in the execution of N), I start a background thread that performs certain tasks for viewing. Then the model passes by "Initialize TestSockets" and starts my MainSequence (in year N + 1).

  While the MainSequence is running, run N hangs in ParallelModel.seq > Single Pass, step "Wait for TestSockets", as it should. Usually, when the MainSequence is over, puts an end to execution and execution N goes to the next step "Check to terminate" and some time later, it passes through ProcessCleanup - where I'd send my background thread notification to stop.

  It works as long as I do not start the background thread. But when this thread is running, the execution of N + 1 never leaves the MainSequence. I arrive at a breakpoint at the end of MainSequence, ahead, and then all executions are happily showing a green light and continue to operate on. So running N never leaves "Waiting for TestSockets" and never reaches ProcessCleanup, so my son does not receive the signal of endpoint etc.

  But I distinctly remember that it worked in TestStand 4.1, and anyway, I don't understand this. Why, a background, started in the execution of N, thread prevents the execution of N + 1 to terminate?

  Concerning

  Peter

  "When execution starts a sequence in a new thread (not waiting for the thread to finish at the end of the sequence), should take care at the end of his MainSequence wire in order to put an end to herself in order for execution to terminate?"

  What do you mean by terminate? Process templates are not normally completed executions. Do you mean, "all discussions in an execution must complete before the end of the execution?"? If so, then the answer is Yes.

  I'm not completely your explanations above. I'm not sure what you mean by signs, but I think you're misunderstanding what terminate means in TestStand. Termination occurs only when a user explicitly requests a run to finish (e.g. finish all) or your sequence has an action to complete or by program initiates a terminate. Without endpoint explicit that past, executions normally end when all threads are finished executing. If you are spawning runs and new threads, you must come up with a mechanism to let them know when they have to leave. I do NOT recommend relying on or using termination for this. Termination is as abandoned (but with a cleaning), it is not intended to be something that happens in the normal flow of execution. There are several ways to tell your worker when all discussions. Perhaps this posting you are referring to is a way. You can also use a notification teststand step, or a Boolean value in reference parameter.

  Hope this helps to clear things up,

  I suspect that this is your problem:

  MyScreen ms = new MyScreen();
  Mrs. LaunchImageThread();

  I suspect that if you did as I suggested on the other Thread and put a breakpoint in the constructor of MyScreen, you'd have foiund, this creates a second instance.

  I hope that you can take it from here.

• Multiple instances of Application when you use the background thread

  Hi all

  I recently added a background thread in an application that is launched from an other point of entry. This background thread will constantly (every X seconds) carry out checks of RMS and compares the timestamps. When recalcitrant, he sends a notification to the user who launches the application when clicked. The problem is...

  When the user clicks on the notification, it will open the application normally (with the icon and everything), but it also opens a second instance that does not have an icon. I have concluded that the code that actually launches the request isn't the culprit (because if I take out, it nevertheless opens the second instance). This makes me think that it has something to do with the ApplicationDescriptor.

  My notification Manager has this line:

  ApplicationDescriptor appDescriptor = new ApplicationDescriptor (ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor (), application name, new String [] {});

  If I change this to only return the currentApplicationDescriptor() or add the arguments in the array of strings, notifications do not work.

  Can anyone think of a reason why this is happening?

  I solved the problem I had.

  In the end, I ended up changing this code:

  final ApplicationDescriptor mainDescription = ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor ();
  final ApplicationDescriptor appDescriptor = new ApplicationDescriptor (mainDescription, application_name, new String [] {});

  TO:

  moduleHandle int = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle (APPLICATION_NAME);
  ApplicationDescriptor mainDescriptor;

  If (moduleHandle! = 0)
  {
  ApplicationDescriptor apDes [] = CodeModuleManager.getApplicationDescriptors (moduleHandle);
  apDes = mainDescriptor [0];

  ApplicationMessageFolderRegistry folderReg = ApplicationMessageFolderRegistry.getInstance ();

  If (folderReg.getApplicationFolder (NotificationManager.INBOX_FOLDER_ID) == null) {}
  notificationManager.init (folderReg, mainDescriptor);
  }
  }

  Instead of using the currentApplicationDescriptor(), I was referencing the module of the application itself using the CoreModuleManager. My init method takes in the ApplicationDescriptor and use it for everything.

  Thanks to all who have any time to read my post!

• ControlledAccessException while audio playback in the background thread

  I have a system module which is a background thread, who plays one of the ringtones pre-installed on the device. It works great in the Simulator, but on my real device (8320, 4.5.0.81, Tmobile), a ControlledAccessException is thrown and of course, plays the audio.

  The application is signed code, I tried to set all the permissions of the application to 'Allow' and nothing has worked.

  The following code fragment, that's where the exception seems to be happening:

  Player p = javax.microedition.media.Manager.createPlayer("file:///store/samples/ringtones/Alarm_EarlyRiser.mp3);
  p.realize();
  p.prefetch();
  p.start();
  

  I was hoping that among the people of the RIM (or someone else) could point me in the right direction regarding, why this is happening and how to fix this.

  Thank you

  Okay... got official word from [email protected]:

  "It is not possible programmatically to other applications pre-installed media files read, because they are encrypted DRM"

  So that answers that.

• See the reflection of changes made to the model to a background thread

  Hello
  
  I have problems when I try a chart reflect changes to graph data that are made in a task or a background Service Thread. To simplify things, I tried to change the label of a button several times in a background thread using a task. Here is the code:
  
  SerializableAttribute public class JavaFXApplication7 extends Application {}
  
  Public Shared Sub main (String [] args) {}
  Launch (args);
  }
  
  @Override
  public void start (point primaryStage) bird Exception {}
  primaryStage.setTitle ("Hello World!");
  last button btn = new Button ("Hello world!");
  Root StackPane = new StackPane();
  root.getChildren () .add (btn);
  primaryStage.setScene (new scene (root, 300, 250));
  primaryStage.show ();
  Task changeTask = new Task() {}
  @Override
  protected Object call() throws Exception {}
  for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {}
  btn.textProperty () .set (String.valueOf (i));
  System.out.println ("label together:" + String.valueOf (i));
  Thread.Sleep (1000);
  }
  Returns a null value.
  }
  };
  changeTask.run ();
  }
  }
  
  What I observe is that the scene is displayed, but with no button above, then I see five times out of the background task thread and then the button with the label of the iteration (4) final. Why the No button when the ChangeTask is on? I expect to see the button change its label every second for 5 seconds.
  
  Am I missing something? How could I achieve such behavior?
  
  Thank you
  Peter

  It's all wrong ;-)

  Let's run through some of the problems:
  1. you have not created a new thread, you use just the task on the JavaFX application thread. To create a new thread and run your task on it, something like that.

  Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().execute(changeTask);
  

  2. Once you actually start the task running code in its own thread, you should not change the properties or the things that affect the scene graph. that is, do not do this in the thread calling method:

  btn.textProperty().set(String.valueOf(i));
  

  Instead, to get the dynamic multiple changes at different times of the task (for example, the partial results), either, bind the text property of the button to the message property or the progress of the task and update the message and progress in your feed or use the model of partial results documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/concurrent/Task.html

  3 looking at the JavaFX jira (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com) there is some bugs related to changing dynamically the data in a chart - it works most of the time, but there are occasions where it produces only results, therefore, even once you get your sample app button works, be careful when you try to apply this same method to the data in the chart.

  Why the No button when the ChangeTask is on?

  Because the task runs on the Thread of Application JavaFX and JavaFX system triggers not an impulse made until the Thread of the JavaFX Application was abandoned by user code.

  I advise to re-read the documentation for JavaFX 2.1 task:
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/threads/jfxpub-threads.htm
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/concurrent/task.html

  Published by: jsmith on May 2, 2012 14:06

  Another way to communicate the progress or the partial results of the user interface is the method of Platform.runLater, mentioned in the post from Daniel.

  Published by: jsmith on May 2, 2012 14:56

  I guess I should also mention that the method recommended (at least for me) to do this kind of treatment (for example, a loop with a quick update, followed by a period of constant of inactivity), would be to use a timeline instead of a task:
  http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/animation/timeline.html
