Scale of BB! 0 app for Playbook

Hi all, in excess of what can be described as sillyness, I created a game in webworks for my z10. I used fixed assets to the z10 resolution. now, I decided to port for playbook and obviously changing resolution is a bit problematic. is there a way I can use a tag of viewport to simply reduce the demand to adapt to the playbook? or do I have to do a lot of recoding and change the sizes of the assets?

Please notify.

Thank you once again,

I did some functions rather fancy mathematics and just placed a large div behind the screen with a black background color and voila it worked.

Thank you for your help. This issue is now closed

  • Is it fitting to name my app "for PlayBook.

    Hi all

    I implement my 2nd app, and I want to quote the app "for PlayBook" to attract more users Playbook. I do not use the RIM images or BlackBerry or the logos of the app, I know that it is not authorized by the official. But I wonder if the app name with the "Playbook" and "PlayBook" strings in the application GUI, as "dialogue", is allowed.

    Thank you!

    @howardwu

    My apps name is exactly this: "ShortenThis!" for Blackberry Playbook"and I use the same expression in my description, as well as the future on the page and they have never said a word about this, they just added the little (R) and TM for it that's all.

  • convert adobe flex web app for playbook air application?

    Hey, I am very new to this sort of thing and was using a Visual tool to help me create applications web flex. My question is can I convert these to operate as air apps on the playbook?

    Given that I don't really know action script.

    Also, can you recommend any good books, tutorials, or interactive Web sites that would help me to learn action script? Thank you!

    Some MX controls (OK, a lot) are not supported under the BB SDK.  For example, mx. Alert does not work, you must use the AlertDialog QNX class.  See docs QNX to:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/developers/docs/airapi/1.0.0/index.html

    In addition, FlashBuilder is the IDE that is supprted, Flex Builder (3.x) is not supprted.  FlashBuilder 4.x is what you need, but which is not supported under Linux.  You should be able to download the 0.9.1 BB SDK for Linux and the use of the CLI version for a project of will.

    If you are a Flex application, you need to change the root node of a node (Application or WindowedApplication) AIR (if not already done).  If so, act like and more taking orders from MX which are not supported, I keep your business logic and simply change the front-end server with native controls of QNX/BB.

    But first, I would try just get a "Hello World" application to compile and run as an AIR application and then send it on the Simulator to get their feet wet.  then see what it would take to get your application scope.

    Hope that helps.

  • Door BB app for playbook - new app or new version.

    Hello

    For the ports to an existing application for blackberry playbook, how one submits it?

    • As the new version of the existing blackberry app.
    • As a new application altogether.

    Thank you

    -MO.

    It depends on what you want to achieve

    If you submit as a release of users who bought for BB can download it for free on the PlayBook. However the application will have the same rating and comments, on the BB

    If you post a new app - it will be a new application with 0 reviews and users will have to buy if they want to have it on their PlayBook

  • Submission of bundle app for Playbook - the Minimum OS selection

    I'm trying to introduce my signed application and email I form RIM week last States choose minimum of 6.0.0 Tablet and OS.  When I select the Tablet for the platform, the only selection I is 1.0.0.  There the Playbook as a device supported, but I don't want to screw up and have something like this delay my approval.  Is this OK, and comes to be updated since I got my email from RIM or I do something wrong?

    Hey blenahan,

    you're reading e-mail is obsolete. You must now choose the minimal operating system of 1.0.0 for the Tablet OS. so go with it and submit it. Good luck!

  • Screen of transition between the views in Flex Hero App for Playbook

    Hello.

    I created an application using the Flex using Flash Builder (Burrito) hero. I should also point out that I created the application as a mobile application ( ).

    Now, the problem is that when the application starts, I put a start page by default in the file Blackberry - tablet.xml. This shows. But then the application loads the default app (myApp.mxml) view. The code is as follows:

    
    http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                    width="1024" height="600" firstView="views.myAppHome">
    
                    
                    
                    
    
    

    From there, it goes directly to the views.myAppHome. What happens, however, is that between the blackberry file boot image - tablet.xml and the background of the views.myAppHome.mxml file, I get a brief moment where the default background of the file shows myApp.mxml. Is any way to get rid of this? Can I just put a similar to the start page background image in the file myApp.xml? Or should I take altogether on the myApp.mxml file and continue straight to the views.myAppHome.mxml?

    * I did this way based on a tutorial several months ago. This tutorial, however, had additional features that I removed. Currently, I have an opinion, but will probably add another any further on the road.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you!

  • Gate presentation app BlackBerry PlayBook

    Hi all

    I wrote and published a BlackBerry app that is available in the BlackBerry App World. For the sake of argument let's call him "My App"

    I have worn since the game for the PlayBook with the same name and want to add it to the BlackBerry App World.

    However, I do not want to add it as a rejection of the PlayBook in my existing entry as a description is not entirely accurate, and screenshots would certainly not correct. What do you think is the best way to add the new app in App World?

    I might add an entry called 'My App for PlayBook', then check replace the names of JAD and put "My App" in the name, the same way call "My App" in the XML file in the project - "My App for PlayBook" becomes only an internal name for inside my portal provider, customers see "My App for PlayBook" in the App World and "My App" on their PlayBook screen when installing it?

    RIM are sensitive to the use of the "for PlayBook"?

    Bit confused - any help much appreciated!

    Thank you :-)

    A good number of people have used the "My App for PlayBook" approach as a new product in the vendor portal.

  • Porting native Apps for BB10 playbook

    I have 2 games running for PlayBook (so 2.0), already published on appworld.now decided to their device BB10 port also. Like my apps are developed naively and using OpenGL 2.0 how many will of work required.

    is there is no Playbook to BB10 port applications guide.

    I need to download the binaries for playbook and BB10. So what is the name of the package, the two could be same? Or my application will have separate names for the two (Playbook and BB10).

    I have an application Native + OpenGL for PlayBook and BB10. You will have no problem porting to BB10, you only take care of the different screen size.

    And Peter is right. You must present the version for BB10 wearing the same package id and version should be different for BB10. To keep my versions "in tact" I simply add 100 for the last byte for BB10 package. For example - version 1.0.1.1 for PlayBook and version 1.0.1.101 for BB10.

  • Better route for MDS for PlayBook app support?

    RIM ISV here

    looking to port our ISV BlackBerry 6.0 and app Android 2.3 for the PlayBook.

    We are a COMPUTER security product is therefore the biggest concern.

    Our product requires request HTTP and Socket connections MDS (via BlackBerry Bridge or other) level.

    What is the proposed route of action?

    • Write a new app Playbook Adobe Air SDK?

    • Wait for Playbook Java Player?

    • Expect the Android player?

    Not that I know of. Someone can correct me if that's wrong.

    The reason is (I believe) because the devices are wifi only at this time and have no native functionality of PIM, so they just don't need. Later this year, there are supposed to be announced with integrated wireless modems, and I have to assume that direct connections of MDS will be available right here.

    You can use the browser 'bridge' If you have the bridge connected in order to get the connection through your BB smartphone user. However, the capacity is not exposed in the SDK.

    Overall, the SDK is rather limited at this stage. I would say that it supports only 30% of the capabilities of the Java SDK currently EHF.

  • To adapt to the screen orientation by using javascript (for playbook)

    Hi all

    I know that the subject of the screen orientation has been crossed many times already, but I've searched and searched in the webworks put on an answer and can't find it.

    My application is made for the landscape. I have 2 options. ((1) lock app in landscape which I think still can be done using webworks (but please correct me if I'm worng) or 2) to scale the app for the portrait.

    Because to my knowledge 1) cannot be done, I'll focus on 2). Has anyone seen or written a javascript/css script that checks if the user holds the tablet in landscape or portrait and adapt to the 2 on-the-fly switching of b/w? My app is made for 1024 x 600. I know it can evolve using CSS 0.6 starting to adapt to the screen, but I don't know how to check and then re - evolve afterwards with javascript.

    Any help, please and thank you.

    In fact, you can lock in landscape orientation with

    your config.Xml file. Just remove the space after "rim:" because I added it to prevent the Bulletin Board to return as , haha.

  • FlashBuilder is required to create AIR for PlayBook games?

    Hello

    I have a client with some games to AIR that is interested in them to publish on the BB, but they are done with Flash. With Flash CS 5.5 I can convert it to AIR and deploy on Android.

    But if I go to the page "Download the SDK" of BB (https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/air/download/sdk) and it says that I need Flash Builder. Is that absolutely necessary? Is it possible to publish Flash games for PlayBook?

    Thank you!

    FlashBuilder is not mandatory for creating AIR applications/games for the PlayBook.

    I personally built several apps/games for the PlayBook using nothing more complicated that a plain old text editor and tools of command line to build, sign, package, deploy, etc..

  • write a game of bbm to AIR for Playbook

    Hello

    I intend to write a game for playbook with BBM and integrate with ScoreLoop. but I searched the forums and found out that there is no BBM sdk for playbook again and also I have not found any integration scoreloop sdk.

    just wanted to know if this is the case, or are there alternatives? any help is greatly appreciated.

    Srinivas

    There will probably be a BBM API for AIR, as RIM told me that my IM applications should integrate into BBM to stay in App World. A few months ago they said it would be later 'this year '.

  • Screenshots for PlayBook

    Does anyone know what the correct size size to download screenshots for PlayBook OS 2.0 so they look right. >

    If I look at the screenshots of monopoly they look at full size in the area of landscape.

    I tried the rectangles and squares, and both times they get resized to portrait.

    I have other screenshots in portrait for regular smartphones, that I didn't think I should cause problems.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Well, well, check battery guru as well. I think that mine the same look as the monopoly and Angry Birds, right?

    They use just screenshots of 640 x 375, same as mine.

    They are set to scale properly, as are mine, but I had to take down my 375 x 640 previous portrait mode turned since she was totally distorted.

    There is also a thread on the compression artifacts.  While all three of the applications mentioned have pictures that could evolve properly, they seem to always pretty crappy right now.

    I think that the problem of compression setting it which will take up to 30 days (from about two weeks ago) to propagate through the system.

    I suspect that the scaling problem will be resolved in 2.0.1 in the client.
