Blackberry browser applications

I'm developing a web application using Oracle's JDeveloper. How can I determine if a request was initiated by a Blackberry user, so I can go back a page that fits well on this device.

I'm not sure that's exactly what you asked, but you should be able to get the value HTTP_USER_AGENT that a BlackBerry browser device sends to your server, and allows to customize the output that you provide.

Currently, the user agent for the PlayBook seems to be:

Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM Tablet OS 1.0.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.11+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.1.0.7 Safari/534.11+

You'll want to identify that user agents are for the different devices you want to support and do a people search string.

  • Is there a way to get the owner of BlackBerry phone to the BlackBerry browser number?

    We are trying to identify the user by their BlackBerry phone number in a web application Java running on a WebSphere version 6.1 application server (JDK5.0). BlackBerry users access the application through BlackBerry browser. Is it possible to get the phone from the owner of the number with type of JavaScript code and pass the phone back number to the Web server? Has anyone done this type of programming?

    We use curve and BlackBerry Torch.

    Thank you in advance.

    It is not possible to read the phone number of the user of the BlackBerry browser application.  There is no object of JavaScript in the context of the browser which allows a web site to access this type of information (or the browser exposes this info).

    However, during the incorporation of an object browser in a Java application (for example using the framework WebWorks, or creating an application of Java-Web hybrid from scratch), you have the ability to access the necessary telephone API which allows you to read the active phone number.

    One suggestion would be to create a BlackBerry application using the WebWorks platform, which support your JSP page.  Your users then install and use this client on their BlackBerry (instead to access the content via the browser), and then you can use device API such as the phone API to add functionality for your application.

    Sincerely,

  • Z30 Z30 blackBerry browser chewing GBs Data Mobile both

    At my Z30 for about a week. Checked the mobile data this morning and it is around 250 MB.

    Before my departure, I have linked to an IP camera and went full screen using the browser not FLASH. (Camera IP android) I then closed the browser completely

    I got in my car and used cards to send me to a destination of 35 minutes.  On the way, I received an alert that I had chewed up to 75% of my mobile data plan. At the time that I arrived at my destination I had chewed around a go. I disabled the Mobile Data. Removed from the browser history and restarted the phone. In no time at all she consumed on another 600 MB.

    In its current form the browser used 2.3 GB then PIM Services 102.7 MB followed Facebook to 22,4 MB. Outside emails, I don't usually use a large part of my Mobile Data.

    He had not exhausted all the data over WIFI.

    I stop the bleeding? Don't want to pay for ove GB GB of mobile data for nothing!

    That's right, it's a security camera running on an old android phone. The camera application: http://download.cnet.com/IP-Webcam/3000-2139_4-75616533.html

    I understand that when you are connected to the camera via my Blackberry browser I consume data. I can adjust the quality of streaming on the client to increase or decrease the quality.

    The camera application supports java / flash / mpeg and HTML 5.

    The problem is that the streaming continues to chew data once the browser has been closed, not only reduced to a minimum in the background. Even after I deleted the browser history and restarted the phone, he continued to chew data.

    I was able to reproduce the problem. If I connect to the camera and try you run the java applet, I get an error message that the media is not compatible and cannot be played. When I select BROWSER/HTML5 video stream starts and continues even after the browser is closed.

    If I go directly to HTML5, everything works fine.

    I suspect bad or incompatible code between the camera application and the blackberry browser.

    Now using the app CAM TINY and everything works fine.

    Cost me $30 data to learn my lesson...

    Thanks for your comments

  • BlackBerry browser not considered handheld?

    I'm developing a simple asp.net web application for BlackBerry that I also want to use the world "PC."  The key is, if it's a BlackBerry browser, I want to use small fonts.  If it is a PC version, I want to use larger fonts.  This seems to be a job for CSS with indicators of media.  I tried all sorts of things, and the BB browser does not appear to the application as a pocket computer.  Then, is another way, other than media indicator to determine?  Or y at - it a way to get the BB to present itself as a handheld computer?

    I'm hand-coding this app.  I have the free version of VS installed, and the Widgets BB app will not work with it.  I don't have the money to spend on a full version of VS right now, so I stick with hand coding.

    I am certain - that of a 'child' about CSS and how it works, so if anyone can 'hold my hand' on it, I'd be happy.

    Thank you

    BlackBerry screens have a very high resolution compared to PC screens (e.g. storm is 184 dpi) in order to select the appropriate font is to use the 'min-resolution' media selector, for example

    body, html
    {
        font-size: [whatever is appropriate for PC];
    }
    
    @media all and (min-resolution: 175dpi)
    {
        body, html
        {
            font-size: [whatever is appropriate for BlackBerry];
        }
    }
    

    Either way, you specify the sizes of fonts using pt or px? The reason I ask is that if you use px, then you will find on devices with very high resolution you actually use a larger font than on the PC, if you want it to be readable.

  • BlackBerry browser google smartphones in ' go to ' option displays blank page loading.

    Hello, I am a newbie in the world of blackberry. I just got my friends, the Bold 9700 for my engagement present. I use it for a form of the week. I am Malaysian and I use the DiGi carrier. At first, everything goes smoothly, web browsing is excellent. I downloaded a few great application mainly form mobile google, such as google maps, google mobile and gmail.

    the last 2 days, I have a problem with the web browser. When I tried to look for something using the blackberry browser in the option "go to." I often encounter the blank page, especially those who use the option of google browser. When I turn to yahoo, the browser works well. The white screen also happen when I tried to type a web address like wikipedia.org and so on. The blank page still occur. About the "white page", the loading screen appears when complete loading, the display leave only space. left was only the scroll bar down on the left.

    I tried to solve why it was going on, the google browser in the option "go to" can work when I change the "encoding". I tried encoding, and I found one working (partially). Initially the encoding was auto and shows the ISO-8859-1. the work of encoding is ISO-2202-CN. Google has worked, but the web address bar meet the "white screen" problem

    I called the customer Service of my operator, DiGi. They guide me to solve the problem. Traction on the methods of battery, change of TCP/IP in advanced option, the activation of the APN setting. And the last option the guide was the "cloth of security." I did the back to the top of my data. After followed all the instructions, I still have the problem. Worse, I tried to download the google app again after the wipe 'security' the said seeing my phone number was invalid.

    I can't understand what is happening with my phone. At the beginning I had on the phone, I was really excited and impress with blackberry. After that things happen, I'm very disappointed. Is there someone out there who could help me?  I love my blackberry...

    Kind regards

    latifnoh

    Hi, I solved my problem. It is not the browser connection, his concerns setting up the blackberry, the might of the OS. I called several times (my carrier DiGi) and the solution was not there either. so the I thing this must be my BB is the problem, then I send it back for warranty service and what they're - format the OS.

    I'll be just mine yesterday and everythings back to normal. Everything inside seems a new one, as a new BB haha... Thanks be to God.

    He hopes to help! HAPPY!

  • Advice required - what UI component to a data browser application

    I am building a data browser application and to display a row of data for each item in the database in one window scrolling.  I wonder advice on what user interface component to use.  OS 5.0 or later only.

    The app will have at least 500 lines of data - maybe more up to a mile or two.  So I'm afraid that if I load all the data in a ListField or ObjectListField I'll use scads of memory to display the data - which most scrolls off the screen.

    I could page the next page of data instead of scrolling dynamically, but that degrades the user experience.  I could build a data reader multi-threaded which fills a video page before and reduced the amount of data contained in the list at any time - but hope that there is a better way.

    Advice appreciated...

    This isn't an answer to the question that is asked but, you mentioned the quality of the experience 'user' as a factor, so here it goes...

    Unless it is a scientific application, I submit respectfully that the average user does not scroll on lines of 500-1000 of data, regardless of the nature of the UI container.

    How about a query/filter front page, for example as the OS5 built in search of e-mail, perhaps associated with a sort function... to cut the results to a reasonable number, then present in a list field... who can easily manipulate for example, 100 records.

    Anyway, just my $0.02
