  Hello

  I have a few questions related to ActionBar:

  1. is it possible to place actions not only in the middle of the bar? (I want to place more than 3 icons, but cannot)

  

  2. is it possible to place the shares on a Bar (no duplicates in the menu)?

  3. can I make a kind of separators between the icons?

  As far as I know, the answers are: no, no and no. At least, for now...

• (BB10) TabActions crash on Golden SDK app

  Hello!

  Last updated sdk Gold, TabActions added an ActionBAr do app crash and close without displaying an error.

  It worked well on a previous sdk beta, but same code breaks in gold.

  I also tried a sample application which adds an actionbar and breaks when the tabs button is clicked.

  var actBar:ActionBar = new ActionBar();
  actBar.width = stage.stageWidth;
  actBar.showTabsFirstOnBar (false);
  actBar.addAction (new TabAction ("TEST"));
  actBar.addAction (new TabAction ("TEST2"));
  actBar.addAction (new Action ("Test1"));
  actBar.addAction (new Action ("Test2"));
  actBar.addAction (new Action ("Test3"));
  addChild (actBar);

  Hey osus,.

  Thank you for bringing this place. In fact, we are looking at this question. My apologies for now see it sooner.

  The workaround, which is actually a better UX experience, would be to put a tabOverflowParent and adding in your content.

  Check out my sample code that I posted on this thread for and one example on how to do this.

• ActionBar, Actions, TabActions. Help

  I have the code of work from the following thread:
  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Adobe-AIR-development/BB10-Beta4-ActionBar-issues/TD-p/201530...

  I understand that RIM away air, but why have the feature and thus a new OS when there are no samples and what information there is very rare and base?

  Really just, I'm looking for the more docs on how I can use this feature to built a decent application.

  How to use would be a good place to start. I read the SDK reference over and over again, but I can't seem to understand how to effectively use this code and what does what? I might just need a better explanation...

  ... What is the difference between Action and TabAction?

  ... How do I use the ActionBar with a multiple page application and have 'actions' in the ActionBar the current page change?

  ... How do I imlement an application Menu?

  ... Can I use events to SLIP as with the PlayBook to open the 'IN_OVERFLOW' of the ActionBar menu?

  The appearance of the button is different. Tab buttons have a selected state. Like normal views "tab", a tab is selected to show what view is currently displayed. Actions are more like a button that performs a "momentary" action in the display.

  If you have the tab buttons, you can have an action button "back". If you allow a person return to the previous page of a back action, then you can not use tabs.

  There are a lot of elements of the action that we have no examples and why one form be used over another. Personally, I did have a lot of time playing with it. I know that you can take the back button and make draggable to expose a bottom view. Once there is more applications BB10, I might have better ideas of how to improve the UX on BB10, but right now, I just use Basic Actions, without tab.

• I really need to copy menu/actionbar to each file?

  Hello

  I know it's html5, but do I really need to copy my actionbar and my indicator of loading on every page?

  Or is it possible to put this piece of code html somewhere so that it always loads.

  I tried in my first file but it does not work.

  BBUI uses your HTML fragments as a main source to display content to the user. If you push a new screen, everything you post is deleted and replaced by the content of your HTML fragment.

  Using the screen pop/push approach, you cannot specify a static page element when you use BBUI.

  You can, however, define a screen that shows/hides content based on actions. It is a common approach for a screen with tabs in the action bar. Instead of each tab by pushing a new screen, you simply show/hide a specific

  on the existing page to the transition between the content. It's the approach that BBUI uses, which make you rather manually so do not lose your current screen content.

  There is an example of this here:
  https://github.com/BlackBerry/bbUI.js/BLOB/master/samples/BB10/ActionBar.htm

  Notice the tabs with, by default, display: No.

  In the JS file, you can see how they pass between these panels:
  https://github.com/BlackBerry/bbUI.js/BLOB/master/samples/BB10/js/ActionBar.js

  The end result is that your main Interface remains the same, with the changing content only, and you don't lose what you have currently on the page.

• Embedded flash/html5 video question

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone can help.

  1 - is possible to play videos html5 without OS 2 controls showing next to clock (I know that I can display controls in the player in the app itself)

  2 - during playback of video flash from a playbook remote address (e.g. youtube) stays on, if I integrate swf file locally playbook goes out (backlight & Eve) even if the video game. Is it possible to keep the playbook on playback of local swf files?

  hope that makes sense, thanks for any help... Since faffing around everyday.

  Gwil

  Don't know what version of device/OS refer you to but for PB or BB10 to answer question 1: right now it seems that we will see the same functionality to implement controls in the bar near the clock, PB and BB10. Maybe an OS, PB, inspires others, BB10? I also think that the HTML5 media API should follow the implementation of devs, so if you set the

  HTML5MediaObject.controls = false;
  

  It should also display the controls in the top next to the clock bar. I think it would be a good point to file a feature request for the repo for PlayBook or BB10.

  2nd Mmmh), has never worked with flash on mobile and I can not wait day for audio/video flash is chased out of the mobile OSs since HTML5 media is already there. On the other hand, this looks like a bug to me. Perhaps, you must also file a report with the framework of PB?

• BlackBerry 10 Questions on app and updates BB10

  I recently got a classic BlackBerry and I have a few questions.

  First of all, BlackBerry apps world somehow checked or scanned for malware? I'm pretty skeptical of third party software, but I would like to install a terminal emulator any. I was looking at Term48.

  Secondly, I read that the new private will have Android on it. Does that mean that BlackBerry will become yet another Android phone salesman and that 10 BlackBerry will be interrupted/not supported in the near future?

  Thanks for your time.

  Applications submitted through BBWorld indeed pass tests and checking for malware. Indeed, even if you install APKs (that you can on a device BB10), those are also checked by the Guardian BB app to see if they are known to contain malware or other problems. It is perfect? Without no doubt... but I do not remember all any confirmed report of malware, viruses, or other such things on BB devices. BBs are still safer mobile devices available.

  No one here in this community of users may know (or, if they are not, reveal) what the future holds. My speculation is that indeed the PRIV aura Android, but BB powered secure... a kind of hybrid OS. BB10 is not known to be scheduled for the end of life, and don't we know if the PRIVATE is the only, or the first, this device to be released by BB. We all need to wait and see.

  Good luck!

• Question about ActionBar on the first screen of the application

  Hi, I have a question about the actionbar behavior in the first screen of the application

  index.htm pushes immediately main.htm with actionbar. ActionBar clicks and responds correctly until I have add overflow on some buttons.

  When I click on the button of overflow, the overflow is displayed at the bottom of the page, the top of the overflow is put in correspondence with the upper part of the actionbar so buttons actionbar overflowing content is not visible.

  I reproduce this problem with the sample application.

  This is expected behavior? Is there a way around it?

  I was able to reproduce the problem and have connected it

• BB10 - bbUI.js - pushScreen + anti-pop question

  Hi everone.

  I'm running into a problem with the functionality of pushScreen (.) and popScreen() bbUI.js. If I have an application with 3-4 + screen and push them to the screen and then try to blow up one by one I'm not able to return to the first screen, the soft seems to not respond. I have already tabled a question in bbUI.js repo but Tim has not yet responded. I have attached a small application that contains 7 screens (0-6, as the screen-table of bb.screens aura) and you can go on screen 0 to 6, then back, but if you go back 2-3 screen using the popScreen() function, it seems to freeze the app.

  I also thought that some things the listener to 'webkitAnimationEnd' is not called and thanks to this, the domReady event is not raised in bbUI.js.

  I hope you can help getting it fixed and get these use cases to work. THX

  Developer benefits other follow-up.  It seems that this problem has been fixed in the /next/ branch of bbui.js:

• Questions BB10 NFC P2P/SNEP (ping: mwoolley / jomurray)

  Hi Martin, Jo and all.

  I'm doing some research development trying to validation of data transfer between an Android (Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.1) device and the Alpha of Dev BB10 via NFC P2P/SNEP.  I grabbed your NfcTool and was able to transfer a vCard from the Alpha to the Android smoothly - vCard mailing (SNEP) running in the results of the tool in the Nexus receiving the vCard and saving it as a contact.  It's the other way I have problems with...

  I created a new task in the NfcTool by the framework of the task of duplicating sending vCard, stripping out and giving me a sandbox to play in.  On the side of Android, I wrote a trivial little activity to use the

  setNdefPushMessageCallback() method to send a TNF_WELL_KNOWN RTD_URI message.

  In my NfcWorker: prepareToTestSnep() I called him nfc_register_ndef_push(), and in my::handleTestSnepEvent() NfcWorker I get successfully NFC_NDEF_PUSH_EVENT code every time I put the devices back to back and touch the screen of the Android.

  The problem is, as far as I know, there is no method of support on the side of the operation of the SNEP (!) reading.

  The call to nfc_get_ndef_message_count() in parseNdefMessage() returns 0, so there seems to be no messages actually receive at this point, without doing anything else... I don't know what method to call or what to do to receive the message of the Android.

  As far as I know, the call of nfc_register_ndef_push() only lets you configure to be able to do a nfc_create_ndef_message() to send, but is not the right thing to you set up to make a reception.

  Can someone please shed some light on how the side reception of the SNEP transaction is performed on BB10 or if it's even possible yet?

  I've tried everything I can think, swim around in that time service of NFC platform without papers, without success.  I've implemented nfc_register_ndef_reader(), nfc_register_tag_readerwriter(), nfc_llcp_register_connection_listener(), but no matter what, I get only the NFC_NDEF_PUSH_EVENT code when devices are in the range, and it seems there is no way to receive the data.

  Please inform me!  Thank you!

  Ryan

  Hey once again Martin,

  I really appreciate the effort you spent on another tool tests and writing / confirming the SNEP feature in the Dev Alpha.  Your confirmation it works gave me encouragement to continue trying to get this to work - and I finally did!  As a result, I have some great results to share:

  The problem was not with the format of the URI registration, which was quite valid (TNF type 1, completely adhering to the definition of the Type of folder URI NFC Forum RTD - URI 1.0).  Has not solved the problem by trying a text record type instead.  The problem did not manifest itself between two Android Galaxy Nexus, who had no problem exchanging URI, text documents, etc.

  The problem was this: the NFC on my Dev Alpha does NOT work correctly when the device is connected to the computer via USB!

  It is a conclusion that is always reproducible.  When I reboot the Dev Alpha and never connect it to the computer, I can run the NFCTool and read properly URI valid TNF_WELL_KNOWN and text documents sent from the Android device.  If at any time I connect it to the computer, this feature stops working entirely and will resume only if I turned the unit off and it reboot again without connection to the computer.  I can't just unplug it without restarting, because it does not address the issue.

  Well, then!  Is this a known fault?  This documented anywhere?  Is this a fault with all Alphas Dev or just that we received?  Y at - it solution to address the State of the NFC system without requiring the long reboot of the device?  I'm really intrigued to hear what you / RIM have to say about it.

  I'm not happy all the time lost to spin my wheels with a configuration that was destined to never function properly... but on the other hand, I am incredibly relieved that I figured out the problems and can begin to move forward with development.  I hope that others can benefit from my troubles!

  Thanks for your help Martin - I'm happy just having someone to keep with me through this fiasco.  Ciao for now.

• Releases of question on 2 separate, one for Playbook and the other for BB10

  Hello

  At the moment we have an application that is currently enabled for BB10 and Playbook. However, we've recently re-written the application take over much better phone interface, and we would like to submit a version that is not specific to BB10 and have a separate for Playbook version.

  What I hope we can do is just uncheck the BB10 of the current version and let the Playbook checked, then submit a new version with only selected BB10. However, I wasn't sure if this overwrite the version of the Playbook and pull it store since the release "more recent" doesn't have the verified Playbook. Is it possible to have these 2 releases by-side, but be in the same "application"?

  Thank you
  Jake

  It works as you expect it. In fact you don't have to uncheck the BB10 phones on the old version.

• Question of BB10 Dev Alpha: debugging token is invalid

  I'm trying to get a token of debugging on my dev alpha device and it just cannot work. I can create, validate, and install the token, but it generates an error: debugging token is not valid. Or not applicable for this device.

  10.0.4.197 OS version

  Build ID: 196525

  PIN: 29D939F4

  Start: 28 June 21:32:34 UTC 2012

  I use BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK 1.0.0.15

  I just restarted the device. It is currently 21:26 according to my computer clock and the BB10 clock is synchronized with the clock of my computer... it of doesn't look right... the listed start time is 5 minutes in the future.

  Here's what I did.

  I checked the device PIN above (702102004) is correct. This is the decimal version of my device PIN (29D939F4)

  I tore the debugging, and here's the manifest token:

  Yet, the device don't like this token. Here is the result.

  

  Any ideas to know what could be the problem here?

  Thank you

  Rod,

  I had the same problem with my alpha chips and debug dev. Setting date/time is the source of the problem.

  Here is the fix:

  • The mode of development
  • Set your date/time to June or the date in the past.
  • Check your token security and debugging
  • Debugging token becomes valid

    My date is June 25

  Let me know if this solution worked for you! Worked for me.

  

• BlackBerry Z30 BB10, player Android, applications, General questions

  I need to know if the following apps.will Android works on the last drive Android OSs:

  (1) chrome

  (2) Firefox

  (3) Google Maps

  (4) approx. Bible (YouVersion)

  (5) PDF (no app display of PDF documents)

  (6) apps. who can read Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)

  7-Pandora

  (8) LinkedIN

  (9) YouTube

  (10) OneDrive (OneDrive storage access)

  (11) DropBox (DropBox storage access)

  (12) mSecure (portfolio secure notes - allows you to store notes, notes, accounts in a format encrypted with Dropbox sync)

  (13) Worldmate (app. tavel with ability to synchronize calendar)

  For some of the apps. If the Android app does not work, can you recommend above, native applications of BB 10 with similar functionality? Can a blink of light led (at the front of the phone) Z30 in different colors, if yes, what colors and can it be used by / controlled by other applications?

  Finally, the BB 10 can fully synchronize with Google and Hotmail? I have a Google and Hotmail account. I want to synchronize fully two accounts with Z30. I really want to buy a Z30, but this will depend on the answers to these questions. Thanks for your help. GOD bless you all.

  Are there

  Chrome did not
  Firefox won't work.
  Google Maps doesn't but BBMaps does the same thing and works more pleasant on the BlackBerry.
  Bible app has not tried
  PDF support is built into the Z30.
  Office Documents app is incorporated with Documents to Go
  Yes, Pandora
  LinkedIn has built in app
  YouTube integrates an app
  OneDrive is a dedicated application of BB
  Dropbox is a dedicated application of BB
  mSecure (Yes, but I think that you must have already purchased on an Android device to download.) BB comes with password Keeper built in. With OS 10.3 this fall, that I am sure that you will be able to buy it directly on the BlackBerry
  WorldMate is called BlackBerry Travel on BB devices.

  Google and Hotmail full syncs. Google dropped Exchange Active Sync for BB users, so you're left with IMAP, Mac OS x Server and Caldav sync that works, but not as beautiful as Exchange Active Sync. Hotmail works very well.

• Runtime Android and model question BB10

  Hello

  I have an Android app that works very well on the Blackberry Playbook.

  According to the value of Build.MODEL to the Android SDK, I display a message to the user about the model of the device.

  For Blackberry Playbook, Build.MODEL returns "BlackBerry Runtime for Android applications".

  At the moment, I have trouble running BB10 Simulator to check what is the value returned by BB10 device so that I can display the appropriate message.

  Does anyone know what Build.MODEL returns Blackberry 10? Is this the same as on the Playbook?

  Thank you.

  In my alpha dev machine, I get '10 Dev Alpha' when I get the Build.MODEL
