• Smartphones blackBerry Trackball question

  So I just got my first blackberry (bought one that has been used on eBay) and he seemed completely new except for a tiny nick on the back cover, but the screen has been impeccable. However, I noticed that for selecting things (alias ' click on ' the trackball), he did not have a click or pushing the feeling at all, it was as if I was contacting the trackball that does not move or make any sign to be pushed. Is it supposed to do this or do normally a clicking or by pushing the feeling? Also, it's some sort of weird scraping noise when I scroll and things, but it didn't matter. Any help?

  Looking forward to reply to the developers/RIM on that.

  That is a good question and is asked everyday. Is there really no answer that solves all these problems.

  As a general rule, you build your application on version base the more COMP that suports your application requriements. I recommend 4.2.1 as a good 'base' build, applications developed on this level will run on just about everything that is currently shipped today.

  For different sizes and screen resolutions, we have developed our own class of theme and the theme factory serving the correct resource based on the current device context.

  For the Touch vs Trackball question, abstract GUI components and serve them upward in a GUI factory method. Within the factory method, we use the preprocessor to avoid creating dependencies on the API that does not exist in the no touch devcies. The plant serves up the correct (or any other) class for the device.

  The downside of this is that we have many distributions of our applications (. 42,.47, etc.). However, we maintain a single source using this methodology tree. It works for us.

  Others have different methods... ymmv

• Questions of trackball blackBerry Smartphones

  Hello

  Please I need help with my trackball. I noticed two weeks ago to be more precise my trackball has become erratic and from now is no longer works. I can't any of my applications outside the messaging app. Is no longer, I can talk to on the phone or access any other content except the messages folder.

  My trackball can no longer function at all, and even when it does it only works when you press it hard. Aside from noting to other functions. All other keys works perfectly except the trackball and it is the most important key that I can only have access to all other functions of the phone through it. It works when I press up or down or sideways.

  I am really frustrated because this phone gives me my bread and butter!

  Can someone help me please on what to do? Thank you.

  You mean trackpad, right?

  If you think you're up to it, you could buy a kit and replace the trackpad yourself. There is usually not found DIY videos. Here's one I found on youtube.

  The other alternative is to find a store and get it fixed.

  But if the unit is under warranty or covered, to talk to the seller or to the insurance company.

• Question of Smartphones blackBerry Trackball - scroll to the top

  I read through 3 pages of 'trackball' posts on this forum and have tried everything suggested to fix my trackball except out the trackball.  I can scroll down and from left to right, but not to the top.  I stuck firmly IN the direction to go, but nothing.  I rubbed firmly against the jeans we hope to get dust off or outside with no result.

  Someone at - it any other suggestion short to disassemble or to store?  I had a few months now, bought off of Ebay, but insured under my career.  And if I take it apart, what are the chances of success?  It's a little scary for me. Don't want to ruin an expensive phone.

  Thank you.  And this always can't to this timely... just before the break when I really need to keep in touch and send and receive messages!  Well, let me of grateful, I can always use it to call. :-)

  Number on the trackball

  The printer is a '' maybe. '' If your printer airprint enabled it will work natively. If it's just a wireless printer, you may need a soft of the manufacturer of the printer, or a third party printer app. If she is not a wifi printer, then no, it won't work because there is no support for wired printing

• Detected MS trackball & work, but only the basic enabled buttons.

  I have an optical trackball usb IntelliPoint MS. It of that I plugged in and works. Device Manager still lists it as "Microsoft USB Trackball Optical".

  It's a trackball 5 buttons-wheel scroll, but for some reason, the scroll wheel, scroll wheel button, buttons forward and back all do not work. But the trackball works as are the buttons on the left & right.

  When I run mouse app in the control panel and click the "Center of mouse and keyboard", it tells me "device detected" (in spite of what the DM said.)

  I uninstalled and reinstalled v2.2 (64 bit) only to get the same result. I disconnected and reconnected the trackball of the computer (connected directly to the rear of one of the USB ports on my PC.

  It's weird. Why MSM & K say "no device not detected" when the DM clearly detects my "MS trackball?

  Hello Mugsy,

• User interface for the touch and trackball design

  Hello everyone

  Design the user interface for my ap, and I have a question.

  My access point has a lot of button image.

  I can imagine the ImageButton for touch screen and trackball.

  I have known that using touchevent for touchscreen and trackwheelClick for the trackball.

  When I use both in an application, the access point is not make sence to use,

  If this is not the case, can I know the user device or not doesn't have trackball or both.

  My code:

  final BitmapField bf_Projection = new BitmapField (B_Projection, Field.FOCUSABLE) {}
  {} public void onFocus (int direction)
  this.setBitmap (B_Projection_Down);
  }
  public void onUnfocus() {}
  this.setBitmap (B_Projection);
  }
  {public boolean trackwheelClick (int status, int time)
  UiApplication.getUiApplication () .pushScreen (p_Screen);
  this.setBitmap (B_Projection);
  Returns true;
  }

  protected boolean touchEvent (TouchEvent message) {}
  int x = message.getX (1);
  int y = message.getY (1);
  Make sure that the point is in this area
  If (x < 0="" ||="" y=""> < 0="" ||="" x=""> getExtent () .width: y > getExtent () .height) {}
  Return super.touchEvent (message);
  }
  {Switch (message.getEvent ())}
  case TouchEvent.DOWN:
  this.setBitmap (B_Projection_Down);
  break;
  case TouchEvent.UP:
  this.setBitmap (B_Projection);
  break;
  case TouchEvent.CLICK:
  case TouchEvent.UNCLICK:
  UiApplication.getUiApplication () .pushScreen (p_Screen);
  this.setBitmap (B_Projection);
  break;
  }
  Return super.touchEvent (message);
  }
  };

  These two make no sense at all - either treat CLICK or UNCLICK because otherwise you will push the screen twice.

  That being said - the best way is to ignore the fact touchEvent() exists and replace just the click of navigation and/or uncheck.  They will work correctly for navigation in trackpad and touchscreen / click.

  One of the problems with the touchscreen is that if you click on a non-focus field or in empty space currently target field will get the event.  You can override the entire event (return super.touchEvent () in any case) DOWN carefully to detect this situation.

• Question regarding setExtent and getPreferredWidth for the custom field

  I am trying to understand the difference between getPreferredWidth and setExtent, which relate to the width of a custom field.

  I create a field that may be greater than the width of the screen. The field is made up of cells (for example columns and lines or cells, such as a table). The cells contain text, shapes, lines, color, etc. When I display the field I only paint the visible columns on the screen and allow the user to use the trackball to accomplish the columns out of the screen.

  At present, getPreferredWidth returns the total width of the field without all the empty columns, is longer than the width of the screen. I use the same value in setExtent for width. GetPreferredWidth must return the size of the field that is painted on the screen - the total width less the width of the columns out of the screen? I have the same question about setExtent - width either in total, longer than the screen width or the width of the part of the field that is painted on the screen?

  If I use the width of what is painted on the screen or the other of these methods, then the width changes when the user scrolls through the field. As the user scrolls, I calculate the number of columns will agree to a width of the screen and paint these columns. Is it a problem to have the PreferredWidth and the setExtent change width? I read that setExtent is called only when the Manager sets this field, so that the changes will not be recognized.

  It seems to work in two ways in a few simple tests, but I was just curious as the value of width that is right.

  Thank you!

  When a field has changed in a way that requires the update of the screen (for example, after scrolling offset changes), simply call invalidate() from this area. That will eventually lead to paint (Graphics) for the field. At this point, you return the update field. (If only part of a field - as a single cell - needs to be updated, there invalidate() versions that accept arguments where, for efficiency, you can limit the update for just this part.)

  If I understand your needs, you can achieve the effect desired in the paint method. You can use the current dimensions of the field, the cutting of the graphics area, and your internal roll compensates to decide what to paint and what to delete. Let your custom field leave white space where you decide of doesn't make is not part of a cell. There is no need to change the scope of the field.

  If you go about it by changing the dimensions of the field, and then you ask the system to play much more work he has to do. If the custom field is the only field on the screen, it won't make much difference in the behavior (although there may be performance). With more than one field, it can be weird effects. For example, suppose that your custom field is one of several fields in a HorizontalFieldManager and you change the field width. When the HorizontalFieldManager recalculates its own layout, it will change the horizontal position of the fields to the right. The effect on the user, I think, would be really confusing: as the custom field parade, parties to the right of the screen could bounce left and right as the changed width field. I can't imagine that's what you want.

  Here's another way to think about this: absent some bit of style, your custom field would prefer be exactly wide and high enough to show all without scrolling. So the width and height would be based on adding the appropriate cell widths and heights, regardless of what actually is on the display. (It's also a long time that you do not have something fanciful.) If the optimum height is a function of the width available - as with sheathed on the line of text - you would implement this logic in the layout method. You then have no use for autonomous preferred width and height).

• Can no longer ride with call button using the api? Problem: Click on the context Menu displays on trackball?

  Hello

  1. every person has idea on the management of the events of call button. ?

  By default the call button (shows) invoke the window call log while relying on the call (phone icon) button in the phone.

  But I need to call some methods in my application (IE to a selection button).

  2. by default, the track ball click calls menu Contaxt. I don't want to activate (Show) menu by click on the trackball?

  (Only for the track ball click)

  Problem: in my application by clicking the trackball on a ButtonField to a new main window main window.

  Press escape (pop, the new window), the menu here

  To your first question:

  Make an application that has the following method implemented:

  protected boolean keyDown (keycode, int, int times)
  {
  Switch (keycode)
  {
             
  box 1114112: / / green key

  Insert your code here

  break;
             
  }
  Returns false;
  }

  For your second Question:

  invokeAction() implent method, the problem will resolve.

• TrackBall/TrackPad Navigation between multiple GridFieldManagers

  I'm not bad with the UI for the storm.  However, I do my first port to TrackBall/TrackPad BlackBerry, and I find it a little harder than I thought.

  They way my layout of the screen, it seems that a Manager custom holding several GridFieldMangers is the easiest way to go to reach my goals.  However, I ran into a problem.  When I use a TrackBall to go from a GridFieldManager to an another GridFieldManager, the own field it does not receive the focus.

  For example; If the field in the very lower right cell of the GridFieldManager high on the page has the focus and I have move the focus down GridFieldManager, the upper-LEFT cell gets the focus.  I want the top RIGHT cell to have the focus if the movement is fluid.

  The only thought I have at the moment is:

  1. When a cell in the bottom row of the top GridField loses the focus, I put a variable to identify the button that is loses focus.
  2. I need to set this variable to a null value if the movement of the navigation will not the low GridFieldManager.
  3. When the upper-left cell of the bottom GridFieldManager gets focus, I do a check to see if a cell in the bottom row of the upper GridField just lost focus.  If she did access the variable that identifies the button that has lost focus, and then uses this information to bring the focus to the appropriate button for the fluid movement of the trackBall navigation.

  It would also be reversed to move down in GridFieldManager GridFieldManager upward.

  It sounds terribly complicated for something I think a lot of developers would go in. So my question is, I making more complicated it must be or I'm on the right track?

  Any thoughts are appreciated.

• Trackball in java application

  Hello

  II I was wondering if I can show the arrow trackball navigation... just like I see in the browser... in a java application, it will save the user to scroll pain

  Thank you...

  In fact, it is not the complexity that is the question.  If you show a cursor on a normal screen of Java, then you're the functionality that is already present reproduction and potentially confusing the user.

  If you really want to show a slider, have a look at this thread.  But you have to follow focus jumps instead of the movement of the navigation.

  I want to peronsalise my Trackball Explorer settings.

  However, I'm not sure if the original CD Intallation IntelliPoint 4.1 is compatible with Windows 7 (x 64) and Windows 8 (x 64).

  I was unable to locate the corresponding or software drivers online, probably because the device is no longer sold (only shame).

  (a) is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 original software?

  (b) if not, could you please provide the software download that is?

  Very much appreciated.

  Hi Trini,

  It seems that Intellipoint 4.1 is not compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8. I suggest you to download and install Intellipoint 7.1.

• BlackBerry Smartphones two Questions about BlackBerry Curve 8310

  Don't know if anyone can help, but I'm stumped.

  The first question has to do with the Messages folder.  I want my emails to show up ONLY in the e-mail folders.  I don't want the Messages folder to include e-mails (so don't want to be notified whenever I get a new email).  Is this possible?  I tried going the Messaging Options and to crack the SMS and email boxes, but then when I go to the folder of Messages from the hand of screen it displays only e-mail messages (I have to press the menu button, then select SMS Inbox to display SMS messages).  I don't want e-mails during the message folder.  Is this possible?

  Second question has to do with the deletion of multiple messages.  Now, I have to delete messages one at a time.  Is it possible to select multiple messages to delete?

  And that means in fact 'reconciliation' (guess I have three questions)?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  For the first question, this can do what you want (this will stop the notification for email and SMS, but your SMS icon will always have the "red sprocket wheel" when you receive a new SMS).

  First, separate you SMS and email inboxes:

  1. go to Messages (Inbox)

  2. press the Option key

  3. press on the 'o' key, then the trackball

  4. press on the trackball to go to the General Options

  5 scroll to the display new Message indicator, press the trackball, highlight No. and press the trackball

  6. turn highlighted SMS and email inboxes, press the trackball, separate highlight and press the trackball

  7. press the ESC key (right), scroll to save and press the trackball

  8. press ESC to return to the Office on

  This will display the Message icon and a new SMS and MMS Inbox.

  Now, move the Message icon, press the Option key and select hide and press the trackball.  Now the only icon that you have is the SMS and MMS Inbox and there a red gear wheel whenever you have a new SMS or MMS.  Not exactly what you want but a possible work around.  Unfortunately the new message indicator is for emails, SMS and MMS with no way to separate.

  I hope this helps.

• Trackball in blackBerry Smartphones

  Hi everyone I hope that this will be a nice, easy question :-) I noticed that the trackball on my new "BOLD" has a little bounce, it flows may be one or two mm before clicking. Is this normal? I realize, I'm probably being paranoid, but I've had so many problems with my previous Nokia E71, I just wanted to check. Thanks, Paul

  On my BlackBerry 8800 trackball has also a small rebound.

  I think that it does not matter if the trackball does not work correctly.
