• I'm pulling my hair out and I'm about to give up the development of the playbook...

  I just took the playbook to best buy to finally test my application. Well, I can't understand how to do this correctly. Flash builder doesn't have a section of CHIPS in the preferences > tablet os > singing.

  I am an iOS developer and all this * beep * is taken in charge for me, I like this cause it gives more time to development instead of tryng to know how to operate the * beep * app...

  Sorry for bashing but I'm about to return the playbook and give up the development of this platform.

  could someone help to install my application to a whole new playbook device

• Support for the development of the Playbook JSON

  Hello.

  Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR does support the analysis of an API in JSON? We can parse JSON in playbook in other words.

  Thanks in advance

  Although I do not know there are third-party libraries you might find with Google, I'll just note here that AIR 3 includes the JSON class as one of the API high level.

  http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/ActionScript/3/JSON.html

  Let's get AIR 3 as part of the upcoming 2.0 version, I think this support for this building is probably your best option.

  Edit: Note also that this is done apparently with native code, it should be much faster than any existing third-party libraries, you can find.

• Communicate with external devices via the USB port on the Playbook

  Hi all

  I've been looking for more information on how to connect to external devices programmatically using the port USB of the Playbook. It seems that the QNX Neutrino system level options do not work, I tried to use system() with some usb since utilities commands (e/s-usb, usb,...) without success. I'm trying to build an application that uses the USB port of the Playbook to connect to a network industry such as devicenet or profi-bus as an example. Anyone know if this is possible? If this is related to another post here, admin please move.

  Change Note: Please answer and the result is pretty much that I had found. I have no contact I can name for RIM, off the top of my head. I think for now, I'll concentrate my efforts for the development of the Playbook.

  This is my speculation, but given the current philosophy of the PlayBook and BB 10 OS, perhaps my speculation is not too bad. Anyway, it is not only a problem of BB, other editors (Apple, Samsung, LG etc) also do not allow this out of the box.

  A few days ago, I played with ultra cheap Chinese junk-Tablet (with resistive screen, buuuu), android 2.3.3 and this unit has a usb port with support for any device usb (mouse, keyboard, 3 g modem) + adapter Ethernet usb custom with 2port usb hub. Man, it was crazy. Maybe these will find its way in BB 10 devices a day.

• Java programming on the playbook

  Nice day.

  I started development on the playbook using QNX, as the implementation of the development environment has been well documented. However, I am very confused about how to develop using Java.

  First question is to develop Java applications on the playbook?  It's doable for phones me but I'm really confused weather it of doable or not on the playbook.

  If so, how can I set up my dev environment?

  Thank you in advance.

  You can transfer your Java Android app. It's as close to java support you will get on Playbook.

• How can I get the path to the directory of photos on the playbook?

  I'm developing a drawing application which includes a backup of the file function.  I want to save the album image in the Directory General views about the playbook. Then, the user must be able to display their picture recorded on an album in the photo directory.  I found all kinds of examples on how to do this for the shared directory app (using blackberry.io.dir.appDirs.shared.camera.path), but I have not found how to get to the general (non - specific app) directory images.  How to this directory using javascript?

  Tried it - doesn't work either.  I also tried to create a subdirectory in the shared directory / photos:

  var path = "file:///accounts/1000/shared/photos/JustDraw";
  
  if (!blackberry.io.dir.exists(path)){
         blackberry.io.dir.createNewDir(path);
     }
  

  But who doesn't either.

• WebWorks development through the deployment of visual studio plugin problem

  I developed an application WebWorks using the Visual Studio plugin, now after compiling the application, I have a series of .cod files, not. bar.  Documentation indicates that the blackberry - deploy command wants a .bar file to deploy the application on the Simulator.  I tried to just take all my program assets (images, js, css, htm files, etc.), the zip and compile them using the command line tool (bbwp), but I get a series of errors of syntax and then a final error (an exception through the JRE) indicating that it could not find the file necessary to complete the compilation bar.  Maybe I forgot something?  Any help would be greatly appreciated since I can't test this application, unless I can actually deploy in the Simulator.   The .cod file deploy the application I get an error indicating that there is no such thing as a specific file in archive (although I've specified a .cod file).  For some reason any I can't get this thing to deploy on the current device.  PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! This part of the project is so frustrating at the moment, been working on the deployment of the hours now.

  I think it's because the config.xml file that was generated by visual studio for BB device and not the playbook.  You will need to create a file config.xml for the app playbook.  The simplest way is to each one of the webworks tutorials copy or there is an example in the 'Blackberry Webworks SDK - Table OS Development Guide'.  Here is the link http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/24043/BlackBerry_WebWorks_SDK-Development_Guid...

• Problems with qnx.display on the PlayBook.

  Hello.

  I'm currently experimenting with access multiple monitors on the BlackBerry PlayBook. I set up an app to demo simple to test the basic functionality, based on the examples in the documentation: https://developer.blackberry.com/air/apis/qnx/display/Display.html#isAttached)

  package
  {
      import flash.display.Sprite;
  
      import qnx.display.Display;
      import qnx.display.DisplayMode;
      import qnx.display.MirrorMode;
  
      [SWF(height="600", width="1024", frameRate="30", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF")]
      public class Demo extends Sprite
      {
          public function Demo()
          {
              var myDisp:Display = Display.display;
  
              if (myDisp.isAttached(1)) {
                  myDisp.setRotation(1, 0);
                  myDisp.setMirrorMode(1, MirrorMode.STRETCH);
              } else {
                  myDisp.setRotation(0, 90);
                  myDisp.setMirrorMode(0, MirrorMode.NORMAL);
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

  However, the PlayBook crashes once I have use setMirrorMode() or setRotation(). setMode() seems to work fine... I use the current version of the firmware (2.0.1.358).

  You have an idea how I can fix this problem?

  Hello

  I filed a bug for this. It will be reviewed and updated in a future release.

  Kind regards

• Problems of huge performance with the list of scrolling on the Playbook (especially Air applications)

  Hello

  It is more of a general question but also for the development of Air for the Playbook and other devices BB10.

  My Playbook has huge performance problems when it comes to scrolling lists.

  And this problem exists with almost all applications (not the ones that I have developed).

  For example, take a look at the app NTV - such its bad, its almost unusable because it's so late when scrolling lists.

  I don't know how this app was developed, but I guess it's Webworks or Air.

  You can see this delay also in the official app of Facebook: it's the same poor performance when it comes to scrolling.

  I guess this Facebook app is also WebWorks or Air.

  So Air or usable at all WebWorks?

  This performance is not fun, and it has no sense to develop applications with this platforms if these performance issues are of type platform.

  Now, my question is - is it true that the only platform that "really works at all" (about performance) is the native "platform"?

  Or is it a problem in the current version of the Playbook OS?

  Else you have noticed that this operation met during the scrolling of lists?

  Thank you

  Bullety

  It's a question AIR, specifically made software. All of the applications you listed are AIR. Try something like Scrapbook, and you see things how smooth can be (waterfalls).

  I saw not the same problems when using WebWorks with Sencha Touch. It is also quite possible to make things smooth in the NDK with waterfalls, but it's only for BB10 (for developers non - RIM). So cannot use it PB BB10 release (end of 2012).

  I also note that the new fuse QNX user interface components are much smoother than conventional QNX UI components. If you use make sure you air that you use.

• The end of the PlayBook?

  There are rumours in the British press that the production of PlayBook is about to stop

  PB got a very good review in PC Pro this month, finishing off with the comment that they are really good (9 / 10) and something you need to RUN to the store to buy before stop supplies

  Personally, I like the PlayBook

  The BlackBerry PlayBook has not been interrupted.  RIM will stop selling the 16 GB model, but still the 32 and 64 GB models.

• Logging of the PlayBook errors

  Is there a way I can see trace connects the physical device of the Playbook?

  I came back to an application after a few weeks to see that when it unfolds in developer mode, it just hangs. I tried debugging, but who does not work for me at the moment for some reason any (using FDT - but this is something else), so it would be nice if I could draw some things to see where the problem lies.

  I've not bothered with the Simulator (is not done for some time) that the application relies on the features, it supports not - but I may have to see if it at least shows the error. I was just trying to do not have to configure again for the latest SDK and be able to see the trail connects the device would be extremely useful.

  See you soon

  All output stdout from the application, which includes the trace() output, goes in a file in the folder of sandbox the application under logs/air-route.  You can see that several ways.

  1. SSH into the Tablet, cd to the application folder, then in the logs subfolder and type "tail-f air-track" after the launch of the app.  You'll see the output in near real-time as it is written in the file.  If you do this before you run it, the program 'tail' will not see the recently opened log file so you will see only the last few lines since the content of the previous file.

  2. same as above, but use "cat air-track" or "less air-trace" after operation and exit the application.  This works even if you have run the app a day ago and want to see what he wrote in the file at the time.

  Options above require that you first run 'blackberry-connect' to open the necessary port on the PlayBook so he will listen to the SSH connection. The following option does not require this step

  3 transfer the file to your PC using the "-getFile ' option on blackberry - deploy the command should look like this

  blackberry-deploy -package MYAPP.bar -device PBIP -password PBPASS -getFile logs/air-trace myapp.lo
  

  After that, you will find the air-trace file in your local phone book under the name of myapp.log

• WebWorks BBUI viewport moves on the PlayBook, works fine on the ripple

  I develop an application for the PlayBook using BBUI, the application is practically finished and works as I want.

  The issue I'm having is that when I create the application and load it on the PlayBook (orientation is portrait located in the config.xml file) I can drag the window to the right. I have tried to set the width to 600px and overflow to hidden and he always moves. When I test the app using ripple, it does not move.

  I've updated BBUI to the latest version (0.9.6) to see if it is the question, but it has not changed anything. What Miss me?

  Thank you

  Tim

  You can try for the tag body-position: fixed (and set the width and height).
