Native SDK 2.0 to BB10/cascades...

I want to start on the writing of native code.  The only device I currently have is a Playbook, so if I start writing apps stunts I won't be able to try on a real device until the playbook is upgraded to BB10 (probably several months?).

However, I don't want to waste a lot of time learning and writing difficult code user interface as part of the old since BB10 is just around the corner.

My question - if I started apps written using SDK 2.0 native, it will be simple enough to convert and re - build these apps under the SDK BB10/Cascades later?  Or I'll lose a lot of time learning and writing code that will be obsolete in the new framework?

If these are not games, but 'Affairs' apps or something else, where you would buttons standard aspect of system, text fields and so on, then, you cannot do with the NDK now at all the...

If the application's UI-heavy, and you do not want to use stunts, so your best bet is to work with the new Simulator of BB10 beta for now because it supports Cascades.

If the application is not UI-heavy, but you do not want to keep as close an app of Cascades operation behind the user interface, and then you talk about Qt and can actually run on the PlayBook even Qt applications now. But not with all the parts of the Cascades. If this is an option, use the NDK with the Qt libraries.

Also consider attending a day BB10 Jam during the "world tour" http://www.blackberryjamworldtour.com and see if you can get a Dev Alpha to test.

Moreover, 'several months' seems optimistic... I think you can assume rather not before October at the earliest. If they decide to put all libraries of stunts in 2.1, however, or if there is a beta version of developer of BB10 on the PlayBook before the fall, and then those who could help you. They not have given any indication yet (AFAIK) that they could do.

  • Cannot compile the sample applications with the native SDK BB10

    Hello

    I downloaded the BB10 (10.0.4) native SDK and the sample application pack. However, some of the sample apps fail to compile (AudioControl and BelligerentBlocks, for example). The target isn't the playbook (Simulator).

    I get an error do the following:

    make [2]: * [C:/ndk-10.0.4-workspace/AudioControl/arm/o.le-v7/AudioControl] error 1
    make [1]: * [all] error 2
    make: * [all] error 2

    Looking at the newspapers of generation, I receive the following linker error:

    'C:/ndk-10.0.4-workspace/AudioControl/arm/o.le-v7 '.

  • What is the difference between native SDK and Cascades/qt?

    Hi all

    Can someone tell me what is the difference between native SDK and Cascades/QT?

    When I need to go to NativeSDK and when I go to waterfalls?

    These two works in BB 10 or only Tablet?

    Please delete me, I can't live without knowing this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Smiley,

    Yes, you need to install the two NDKs. They coexist and separate IDEs and install files.

  • Native SDK and Simulator

    Hi all

    I have a problem. I can not connect the Simulator to BB10 native SDK. I opened the Simulator with vmware closed player.i wifi on Simulator. and I opened bb10 native sdk but the sdk does not discover/find it.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Best regards.

    Hello

    If you have problems with the Simulator in auto discover then the best way is to enter the IP address manually.

    This is how you do it.

    (1) on the MenuBar at the top of the Simulator, you see an icon between the time and date and the lock icon of orientation that resembles a head and shoulders with a gear wheel in the middle. Clicking on this will show you the State of development - make sure that the mode of development and save the specified IP address.

    (2) on Momentics go to the Perspective of System QNX (icon in the top right corner) and right-click on the sim card, select Properties. Enter the IP address.

    (3) after entering IP address, right-click sim again and select Connect. This should change the localhost not connected sim card just localhost and you should be good to go.

    Please let me know if it solves your problem.

  • BlackBerry tablet OS native sdk, should I use it?

    Hello

    I am an experienced C/C++ developer, but have no experience with BlackBerry.

    I wonder do the research as evidence of the application of the concept on BlackBerry.

    (1) is the native SDK for platform able to target BlackBerry non-tablettes BlackBerry Tablet OS?

    (2) where to find some QAnywhere to the APDU commands Exchange with the jury on SIM card?

    Thank you

    WebWorks is the only supported way to target all phones.

    Another option would be to support a Java application with a base of code designed to target older phones of the BB as the Android player, BB10 taking place.

  • Is it possible to use the BB native SDK within a runtime android app?

    Is it possible to use the BlackBerry (not Android) native C/C++ functions within an Android app?

    Is it possible to communicate between a BlackBerry native sdk app and an Android app?

    Unfortunately not. We have integrated parts of the Android Runtime in the core OS (file Pickers, citing maps - compose, calendar of events etc.), but it happens without any code changes. If you are looking for features only found in the Cascades or native, it would be the way forward for all new development.

    See you soon,.

    1. create a native.bat file in the same folder.  To do this, right-click in the folder box, and choose-> new text Document.  The nativeof text.batfile name. Come in.  This file must be in the same folder as the download and my instructions assume you are installing BB10-WebWorks - SDK_1.0.2.exe  if not you need to match the name of the file.  That is to say: for the natives, it can be installer-bbndk-bb10_0_09-win32-386-201209241008-201209241243.exe - I work in webworks

    2. then insert this: BB10-WebWorks - SDK_1.0.2.exe - i GUI-> to do this, right-click on the file and selecting Edit.  It will open in Notepad.  You can also open the Notepad and drag the file inside.  Dough: BB10-WebWorks - SDK_1.0.2.exe - i GUI

    3. record. Output

    4 run the bat - clicking on it.

    Making sure to step 1 of the file IS an extension of the bat .  If you do not know how to determine extensions then google ' see win 7 extensions "that takes you to this:

  • Native SDK is suitable for text-based application?

    I write an application based on the text for Playbook. I read the libraries and learning native SDK for the last days. Now I can't find an easy way to 'draw' texts on the screen of the playbook.

    Please give me some pointers or suggestions.

    If native SDK do not, let me know related libraries or knowledge that I need to look for.

    If the native SDK is not appropriate, what development tool would you suggest me to use? HTML5 or something else? And why?

    I'm new to this forum and new to playbook.

    Thank you.

    Native development kit is not really appropriate, unless you are ready to use the libraries of the add-on as the port of Qt, which is perhaps still a work in progress. The NDK for target now is mainly to games or other applications for which should be essentially generate UI whole 'manually '.

    HTML5 can obviously manage text. So can air. I can't recommend one over the other, or any other environment for you, since "text-based application" is not really describe what you are trying to reach.

  • Backward compatibility of Native SDK 2.0 app?

    Hi, I've recently compiled my application with Native SDK 2.0 beta 2 and his work now uses the Beta firmware 2.0 OS, but when I try to run it on pre 2.0 firmware like 1.0.8.1971 its gives me the following error:

    result::failure 533 system request - requires: forbidden version, want (2, 0, 0, 0) (1, 0, 8, 1971)

    I found the tag on xml and tried to change it to 1.0.0.0 and it can be installed, but it crashes immediately after I try to open it.

    Anyone know how this works?, or if there is no official information about this that I'm missing?
