BlackBerry 10 Android runtime bug

I saw a small number of applications that works under the time zone UTC on BB10 but not work showing the appropriate zone on Android.

As near as I can tell after decompiling some of the apps they do java api calls to get the time zone, and what BB10 returns apparently is not what they expect, so they go back to UTC, which in the case of an application, it is very inconvenient, because it is a commercial application in Windows media center.

I'm curious to know if the issue has been addressed in 10.3.

This problem has been noticed by someone else? I saw in 10.2.1 all the builds I've tried.

The specific application that I'd love to see the work is the Ceton Media center remote, but I saw the issue with other applications where the daily bonus resets at midnight UTC on BB10, but not on an android device.

Not looking for someone break an NDA, but since the 10.3 dev OS is here, was curious if anyone in the audience who asked 10.3 and saw fixed.  If that violates T & C I withdraw the question

Well Yes... 10.3 is 'out there', but there is a leak, and John Chen has been very public about how he feels about this. This site Ts and Cs expressly prohibiting the discussion of leaks. There are certainly other sites 'out there' for these discussions (sites not, this one is, officially sponsored by BB).

I ask because I wonder if BB is aware, and if not, you're wondering how I would go about bug reports.  Since I do not want to open a ticket, or to seek support paid, I want to just make them aware of it.

  • BlackBerry 10 Question about email and android runtime

    Greetings,

    Just, I got my new Z10 and have a few questions.

    1. is it possible to email to send in plain text by default? I see that I can select email but don't want to accidentally send a html email or I will never hear the end of it.

    2. I was wondering if it is possible to disable the android runtime, and how do we know if an application in the BlackBerry world runs on it?

    Edit: going to throw one over there:

    3. I see I can transfer files via WiFi and SMB, since I have my device and the SD card, encrypted, if I transfer files (I use smbclient from samba) are my files encrypted on the fly?

    Thanks for any help,

    Brian

    Yes, Built for BlackBerry means it's a native app for BB. Here is some info:

    https://developer.BlackBerry.com/builtforblackberry/documentation/overview.html

    The runtime executes in its own shell protected so he can do no damage to the device, but if you don't use a lot of apps, it should not be a problem. Keep in mind that some apps don't come that android ports so you will be somewhat limited.

  • Cleaning blackBerry 10 Android app uninstall

    I have an Android regularly (Realtor.ca) application and a new version. The update does not work in BB 10.3.2.2836 and may not be on any BlackBerry Android runtime.

    Hello

    Android applications have a major problem with the OS 2876 (that you noted is the version of the software btw)... they may not really be deleted. There is a long discussion about the alternatives more on CB (essentially the creation and installation an installation hybrid). The best alternative IMHO is to use an automatic charger and go back to the previous version of the OS stable (2813). Yes, this means that the reconstruction of your device from scratch (I wouldn't recommend restoring from a backup of database LINKS), but at least it will clean up the problems that caused 2836.

    Good luck!

  • Is Android Runtime WebWorks taken Update supported?

    Hello!

    I think to update an Android Runtime application that is published in the world of the BB with a new web application built with WebWorks.

    Is - it possible/supported?

    Thank you

    Imre

    I'm not familiar with this bug, the best is to keep an eye on this in JIRA, as you did.

    Aside from that, they can link your new keys the former ID App for you, but you will need to contact support via the provider portal. It will be a small amount of work necessary get the configuration of your environment again for WebWorks, but I think that ultimately, it will be long for you.

    2. can I test in the BB Dev Alpha device?

  • Future of the Android Runtime

    Hello

    I work as a developer of Android apps and my boss received the device BlackBerry 10 Alpha.

    So I played a little with it and successfully port 2 simple Android applications in the BlackBerry 10 Alpha.

    But when I tried to port of our largest app, it fails to run. I can only assume since BB10 is still in alpha, not all APIs are still supported.

    So, I have a few questions.

    1. What is the future of the Android Runtime?

    2. I heard the rumor that you guys plan to abandon the Android Runtime support in the future. Can you guys confirm?

    3. If you guys plan continue Runtime Android, when you guys will add support for Android 4.0 (API 14) and above?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    There is no plan to abandon support for the execution of BlackBerry for Android applications

    We are always evaluating what future features and API that we'll add to the Runtime. Things like the NFC, Bluetooth, etc. It is a matter of priority, time and effort. We have a roadmap for the main features posted here: http://developer.blackberry.com/android/tools/roadmap/ then as new APIs and support is expected, we will not fail to update the roadamp.

    As for the future, we assess now what next Android OS we will provide support to. So don't worry, we do not expect to stay on Ginderbread 2.3.3 forever.

    See you soon

  • Risk of blackBerry 10 Android apps

    Hello

    yesterday, I received an email that there is a security hole when you use Android applications.

    Unfortunately, it is a German page, but I think you get what it says when you translate

    with google translate:

    Source IOC:

    German

    English translation

    Heise source:

    German

    English translation

    Basically, he said that applications can read direct contacts of the business part of the phone.

    The security flaw is fixed, but my provider for example has not released the update again...

    So, if you use 10.2.1.537 or lower, I would Setup not all Android Apps.

    What do you think about this?

    Concerning

    Redsun

    The threat is low if you stick to the known apps and reliable sources.

    Although it was reported as a security risk, I heard no Android applications that currently use this hole.

    But if it's something, you are concerned about yes I recommend waiting for the update.

    There is also a policy of BES ' security > Apps access to the work of personal Contacts "which can be set to None which stops all applications personal BlackBerry and Android to access business contacts side.

    Once the update has been pushed out, you can change the return policy.
