SeparaterField in ApplicationMenuItem?

Hello everyone,

How to add the separatorField in ApplicationMenuItem?

Thanks in advance.

There is no direct way. but you can try this:

ordinal values with a difference of more than 100,000 have separators between them

ApplicationMenuItem

Hello!

I try to put the message in the Blackberry message box and allow the user to open my application with a settings when he clicks to this message.

But the my ApplicationMenuItem run() method is never called. When I click on the message, it launch the application through the ApplicationDescriptor used only to save the menu items. So I can't used the id of the message as an argument to launch my application

This is the code, run on a 4.6.0 version:
```
ApplicationMenuItem[] newGuiMenuItems = new ApplicationMenuItem[] {
new MessageContextMenu(0) };

ApplicationDescriptor descr = new ApplicationDescriptor(
    ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor(),
    new String[] {"open_message" }
);

reg.registerMessageMenuItems(
        PushConstantes.MESSAGE_TYPE,
    PushConstantes.STATUS_NEW,
        newGuiMenuItems,
        descr
);

////.........................//

//Add a message to folderreg.getApplicationFolder(Folder_ID).fireElementAdded(MyMessage);
```
I tried to put the ApplicationDescriptor false or failing, but it the same behavior or crash

I did something wrong?

Thanks for the tips

Well, it is resolved,

If everything has to deal with the issue. It should be like this:
```
reg.registerMessageMenuItems(
        PushConstantes.MESSAGE_TYPE,
    PushConstantes.STATUS_NEW,
        newGuiMenuItems);
```
Do not put a different ApplicationDescriptor of real demand (who, with him, was created) if we want the run() method of the ApplicationMenuItem to be called.

It will be otherwise simply run the application passing the argument of the created ApplicationDescriptor ("open_message" in my example), without worrying about the ApplicationMenuItem, unless the real demand was killed before.

Browser OS 6 VS ApplicationMenuItem

Hello

We are working on a simple application that uses an ApplicationMenuItem added to the ApplicationMenuItemRepository to perform its functions. We have all this work, and in general it works fine.

However, on a real device of the torch OS 6.0.0.246 version we are facing a problem. After that a web page has been rendered in the browser, our section suddenly stops working within the browser application. He still appears on the menu, but clicking on it does fire the event to our application. If you click on the MenuItem BEFORE actually visiting a webpage (ie. on the first list of recent addresses, etc.) it works.

OS version 5 and 4.5 devices have been tested and their browsers fire the event.

The menu event also works well to other applications on the device of the OS 6.

Someone has an entry on it, or see a similar problem?

Thank you

Thanks for the code sample. It looks like a problem when using MENUITEM_SYSTEM. It does not correctly when you use MENUITEM_BROWSER.

This issue is reflected in the Issue Tracker here: https://www.blackberry.com/jira/browse/JAVAAPI-1502

ToolBarMenuButton.AddMenuItem (ApplicationMenuItem) survey java.lang.Error

ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance () .addMenuItem (ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_SYSTEM, applicationmenuitem)

It shows an error: "Eception exception: Java.lang.Error.

The exception cannot be caught and does not appear in the debugger, only on the phone. It happens once ToolBarMenuButton.AddMenuItem calls toString in the ApplicationMenuItem, but the chain is fine - a literal.

The call stack is several levels deep within unknown methods.

Works fine in simulators and on the storm, but not on a 8330 4.5 running.

Solved. For some reason you need PIM / permission to organizers to add the entire system menu items. I got the module defined with this permission, but the CodeModuleGroup didn't.

They did of course difficult to debug it - he didn't throw a ControlledAccessException as it was supposed to. Instead, he threw something that cannot yet be intercepted, which means that if users don't have the right permissions, the bombs of the app with an error that could be anything.

Checks permissions and prompting if necessary, but in the past have always had requests for assistance relating to permissions yet, so it does not always work.

JDE 4.2 + default ApplicationMenuItem

Hello

I join some menu items customized with the BB system menu. As follows:
```
ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_EMAIL_EDIT ,this);
```
It works well enough. My custom menu items appear in the menu.

But anyone know anyway that I can get my custom menu items appear in the default short list of menu items that appears when the user presses the trackball?

ApplicationMenuItems only appear in the menu, not the reduced. Third-party applications are not able to add ApplicationMenuItems to the menu of built-in applications reduced.

HowTo send the browser to the background (ApplicationMenuItem)

I have the following scenario:

Application screen A, x

--> called a browser with the URL session where an image is displayed

works well

Request A, x screen adds an ApplicationMenuItem in the browser

to make it easy to open some other URL with other images

Request A, x display also adds an ApplicationMenuItem in the browser,

to return directly to the screen X application has

It is uncomfortable if the user performs a work more in the browser-

then he also has to use 'switch to the application' or hit the

'return' of many times

It works well to return to the Application, screen x

but then if hit 'return' of the x screen it returns to the browser

but of course, I want to return to the last screen to request A

so my question: is it possible to move the browser in the background application

and remove the battery from the screen?

answered by myself ;-)

inside the run() to my ApplicationMenuItem I added:
```
ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().runApplication(mainApplicationDescriptor);
```
now the browser passed to my request, and the hiotting going back inside my app now works as expected.

BTW: to get the handle of my app I used
```
ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor()
```

ApplicationMenuItem in position 10

Hello

I would like to insert a voice menu in the menu of the calendar, so I use this code

Menu MyMenu = new MyMenu();
ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance () .addMenuItem (menu, ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_CALENDAR);

MyMenu corresponding to this class

SerializableAttribute public class MyMenu extends ApplicationMenuItem {}
public MyMenu() {}
Super (10);
}

public Object execute (object context) {}
do something
}

public String toString() {}
This is the label for our menu
Return Constants.Menu.LABEL;
}
}

The voice is not in position 10, but in the first... Can I know what is the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Gianni.

Each menu item set is an ordinal value. Some menu items may be iof 100 000 value or more. The lowest ordinal go upstairs. This explains why your ios value '10' liquidation at the top of the menu.

Try to make the ordinal value over 10 (such as 10,000, 20,000, etc.) and see what happens.

Custom ApplicationMenuItem that appear within all applications?

I have an application that uses an ApplicationMenuItem to a new option on all the menus of the integrated application using ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_SYSTEM. Works very well.

But I've noticed recently on a 8900 (OS 4.6.1.231) that my menu item appeared in the other menus as well, including internal menus inside my own application. I also discovered that what is happening on the storm Simulator as well.

If something has changed in the newer operating systems on the use of ApplicationMenuItem? I want only the menu item on the applications of the system and especially not my own app!

Thank you

Nicholas

This feature was introduced in version 4.7.0 BlackBerry terminal software. The MENUITEM_SYSTEM flag now adds the ApplicationMenuItem to third-party applications as well.

You could eliminate it from your application by substituting the makeMenu method and add only the menu items desired for the user to see.

ApplicationMenuItem called with null in JDE 4.6 when you enter the phone number

When I install a custom phone app, ApplicationMenuItem and

try to enter a number on the keypad of the native Dialer, and then click the custom menu,

my custom ApplicationMenuItem is called with a null context object.

This same code + test case works well under the 4.5 JDE / 8300 emulator

and device 8320, but fails under JDE 4.6 with the BB 9000 emulator

and device

To reproduce the bug:

* Build/launch of the attached test application

* Send with previous key

* Go to the native Dialer

* Enter "123" on the keyboard of the phone

* Click on the trackball

* Choose Bug49 the context menu

* It will appear a dialog box indicating "context has the null value - is this a bug?

NOTE that if, rather than enter a number on the keypad of the phone with step 4.

a call log is selected, then it works and a non-null context object is passed.

Can I make it work? If this is a known bug, are

It no work around?

It is a problem in the version of BlackBerry device software 4.6.0. It has been fixed in version 4.7.0.

Addition of ApplicationMenuItem to the Maps Application

I am trying to add an ApplicationMenuItem to the Maps app on OS 4.2, using JDE 4.2.1.

I use the addMenuItem() method in ApplicationMenuItemRepository:

m_appMenuRepos.AddMenuItem (ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_MAPS, m_map);

The m_map object is a subclass of ApplicationMenuItem. I use a similar code to add items to the calendar, Memo, task menu, etc. and all this work. Only on the application Maps, the menu item does not appear when you run the Maps app.

The snippet above in a try/catch block, no exception is thrown.

JDE 4.2.1 device 8320 w / 4.2.2.180, sim is 4.2.x (no matter what sim with the Maps app, I tried several).

Please take a look at the developers knowledge base article below for an example on how to do this.

ApplicationMenuItem in the Inbox and BB Messenger only

Hello

Is it possible to add a menu item for only the Inbox and the BB Messenger? Please help thanks

See:

MENUITEM_MESSAGE_LIST

In the javadocs (ApplicationMenuItemRepository)

Separator menu in ApplicationMenuItem?

How the hell is someone puts a menu separator in a Menu of Application?

I don't see no API for this?

You can not.

I think that the system will place separators in large jumps in the ordinal values.

For example,.

100000

100100

100200

<-------------- system="" would="" put="" a="" break="">

200000

Don't take my word for it, I'm going from memory - you will have to test it.

Retrieve ID ApplicationMenuItem to remove it

Hi all

This is my first post and I am rather new to Blackberry Java development...

so in my application:

I have created custom menu and save it with the ID MENUITEM_SYSTEM, now, I have a problem creating the method to remove this custom menu.

I read in a thread it takes to ensure the menuitem that you want to remove with removeMenuItem (id, menuitem) is same menuitem that was created before, then you must know the id of this menuitem, store it in the Runtime or Persistent Store...

My question is, how do I retrieve this menuitem id I created before?

is this the same value with that I get from menuitem.hashCode ()?

and if can get somehow the menuitem id, how do I remove it? because the method is removeMenuItem (id, menuitem) and id here is MENUITEM_SYSTEM, should which method I use to do the job?

I hope someone can help,

Thanks in advance...

and sorry for my bad English

Yes I just found a way using Runtime store

When you create, I registered the menuItem to the store with the unique ID Runtime,

then, when I want to delete, simply call DURATION store with the registered ID before, and I get an object that is, the menuItem.

then with the cast of the object like my menuItem class, I called remove (id, menuItemObject)... Voila, menuItem is deleted!

So I'll just mark this as solved

But thx for your explanation

See you soon

ApplicationMenuItem & Contact = > ClassCastException

Hello

As a first step, the code:

class Demo extends UiApplication
{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    boolean autostart = false;
    for (int i=0; i>> DemoMenuItem::run");

      Logger.debug("Context : " + context.getClass().getName());
      Logger.debug("Context : " + context.toString());

      BlackBerryContact c = (BlackBerryContact) context;

      Logger.debug("<<< DemoMenuItem::run");

      return context;
    }
  }
}

So, I have two entrances: from the address book and icon. It works very well.

But, the built context crash!

And I don't understand why. I used samples of the RIM, to write this!

Thank you to

Hello

I found my problem...

I wrote:

import net.rim.blackberry.api.pim.*;

Instead of:

import net.rim.blackberry.api.pdap.*;

Sorry...

Moreover, it is a hidden class 'net.rim.blackberry.api.pim '?

I think that I found in your samples... but I can't remember where!

Kind regards
