Use a TTF font in your Blackberry Application

I searched the forums and can't find exactly one 'right '.

According to this, he says, we CAN use custom fonts.

http://docs.BlackBerry.com/en/developers/deliverables/11958/Load_and_use_a_custom_font_899948_11.jsp

This is obviously for OS 5.0.

We can do something similar for 4.5 + without using a Bitmap font based, or is the only option?

Thank you

Harry

There is no support for custom by 5.0 fonts.

Prior to 5.0, you use those on the device, unless you want to build your own "police", by providing a bitmap for each character and by posting this yourself.

  • BlackBerry smartphones dial your Blackberry from your desktop

    Hello world.

    I looked all over the Internet a Blackberry app that allows me to dial calls through my Blackberry using my desktop computer, while they are hooked together via the USB port. Surprisingly, it doesn't exist.

    A simple application of this concept would allow me to highlight a phone number on the computer screen and then to have it pass the phone to the Blackberry to dial number. Another simple application would be to use the numeric keypad on the keyboard of my desktop computer to dial the phone number. In an advanced application, I have a system of contact management running on my desktop that allows me to make phone calls via the Blackberry by putting of the notes on my PC and then synchronize my data in the Blackberry, so that when I go to the office, I have all my data with me.

    That's how the real world works.  A lot of sales and senior managers are in and out of their offices every day. When in the office, using their computer to dial through their Blackberry offers many advantages:

    (1) an appeal of a client by using a line of office could mean that the customer calls back on this line of office when you are is no longer there. Outgoing calls on the Blackberry ensures that when you receive the call back, you'll be able to consider minimizing the phone tag.

    (2) we will take seriously.  Call with the computer allows for a much faster cleaner composition. Composition on a computer keyboard is much easier to use the very small keys on the Blackberry.  If you have to do a lot of quick calls, do on the computer is going to be a lot better than trying to do it on your Blackberry.

    (3) If you have an expensive phone system in your office, it can be very expensive to buy a PC interface for this, which allows you to compose your calls using the computer. Interface your Blackberry to manage calls solves this problem.  Better yet, nobody can apply to their boss, technicians or the bean counters to get there.

    I really think that something like this would be very useful to anyone who made a lot of calls and who is in and out of the office. In other words, most Blackberry owners.

    The fact that I find all the apps that composition of control to a Blackberry using desktop software may be an indication that it cannot be done. That said, it seems to me that simply put a file in a folder on the Blackberry with the phone number to dial, and then to have an application running on the Blackberry that observed for this data file and reacts him by dialing the number should be possible to do.

    Truth is, I am amazed that this application is not built into the Blackberry Desktop Software that comes with the phone.  However, for anyone in the world to have created this already applications is pretty hard to believe, too.

    Anyone who has a solution?

    Kind regards

  • Support for using postgresql since blackberry application

    Hello

    I'm a newbe in the blackberry application development.

    I want to connect to the database to postgresql since my blackberry app.

    To do this, I get the jar of postgresql.

    But I am not getting full java support in blackberry for the connection to the Postgresql.

    So, if someone with the idea.

    Pls let me know how can I connect to postgresql.

    Thanks in advance,

    bskania.

    Welcome to the BlackBerry Java forum.

    I assume that you got a pot that will interface between Java and postgre, except if it has been written specifically FRO BlackBerry devices, then it will not work on BlackBerry unfortunately.  The code that I suspect you've got will only work on Java SE environments, not Java ME.

    The usual solution to this kind of problem is to write a middleware application, that supports http requests from BlackBerry converts it to the required SQL, executes the SQL, then the data for transmission back to the Blackberry formats.  This kind of solution is required for all databases, unless you buy a middle ware product that has already been built - and the only one that I have a conscience is the Sybase offers to iSQLAnywhere.    You will find other peoples comments if you search in the forum, I suggest you search for "SQL Server".

    Good luck.

  • Extremely confused with the extremely complicated presentation of BlackBerry applications

    Please help me, I'm very confused with the extremely complicated presentation of BlackBerry applications.

    I made an app, the name is "App", I got signed and downloaded the App using the emulator Ripple, with the word 'HelloWorld' signature (password not true of course).

    Now, I do another application, with the name of the App (B) I CAN'T use the same HelloWorld signature password because the emulator Ripple said "Oh, Snap!" Build request failed with the message: [ERROR] error: Code signing request failed because this version of the application or the package has been previously signed. If please increment the version (s) and try to connect again. »

    Now, I don't understand and I am EXTREMELY confused with the presentation of the model of application for Blackberry.

    I should first request, for an another RDK and COMINCO files create a new signature for App B password?

    Or should I just increment the bundle version? the problem is when I tried it on Blackberry server seems to give narrations of error message that the APP ID is already used.

    Okay, I'm officially stuck and I don't know what to do. Can any developer of blackberry here or the official employee blackberry tells me what I need to do?

    Thank you.

    I do not use ripple either but can see what the problem is (nothing to do with the ripple)

    Open your file config.xml for the new project (probably copied 'App A'?)

    In the widget section, change the id to something different, for example com.example.AppB

    Save - reload the ripple and make sure you have the new ID in the Config-> Widget

  • The use of the standard features of Blackberry

    Please excuse my ignorance. I am very new to develop Blackberry applications. I use Eclipse that I have some experience with Java, although not much. Part of my problem is that I do not own a Blackberry, I'm doing this to help a friend. I spent the the last few days reading or watching the tutorials and passing by the code example and have now managed to create a couple of screens for my application.

    The only time I've ever seen anything like that on a Blackberry is on the 9550 Simulator provided with my Eclipse plugin. What I was wondering if there is a way for me to use the buttons as the standard buttons that I see on the Simulator or whatever I have to do my own bitmaps. Like these:--

    I would also like to have buttons along the bottom of my app like these, if the same question: -.

    One last question, even if I have a thousand. In looking at some of the simulator sections, I want to use the features I see that when I click on Media/photos I show a list like that: -.

    And when I click on one of the slides in the screen to the left with the new screen sliding from the right. I would like to use this kind of thing in my application. Can you point me to some tutorials or resources or give me some advice on how to do this?

    Help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

    The function of 'transition' (sliding screenes in) is available on OS 5.0. See the Transitions API.

    You may not use these logos existing app (you called buttons?)-they are part of the RIM.

    You cannot use the toolbar existing - it must invent your own.

    That said, you can certainly duplicate these features if you spend a little time to understand the architecture of the user interface and existing controls.

  • How to get the active screen of the BlackBerry application?

    Hello

    I'm trying to get the active screen of the BlackBerry application, for example the home menu.

    I tried to use the screen ActiveScreen = getUiEngine () .getActiveScreen () in my code, but found error during execution.

    I know that this is because the getActiveScreen() method applies only for screens created by this application.

    So is there a way to capture the screen of the other application, for example the mail filter BlcackBerry?

    Thank you.

    Not wanting to not to repeat me, but there is no general way to get access to the Screen of another application object, unless you are on good terms with this application - which basically means that you have access to the instance UiApplication.  You cannot ask the operating system to get that to you, you must have a way to get you.  Which implies execution of something in the context of the Application.

    Even in this case, you may not be able to do what you want.  You will probably need to iterate over the screen and content managers and find the field you want, and even if it covers anything you understand (like BasicEditField) it still cannot handle standard things like setText in a way that is useful to you.  And you might not find fields you recognize, if you access a browser screen, I think you'll find there \are RIM not standard fields in there, so there is nothing you can interact from a standard application of the RIM.

    If you want to do this kind of treatment in General, that will deal with in a number of applications, you should watch event Injection.

    There may be other options for specific applications.  For example, you can simulate of electronic mail by writing a program that sends an email, rather than interact with the BlackBerry.  Or for the same application, if you try to test the headphones, then the listener has access to the UiApplication.  Aye, we be able to help you find approaches less General in some places, if we understand what you're trying to do.  This is the reason for the specific question that I asked in my last post.

    Regarding your second question

    "Another question is, can two separate applications of myself interaction by the user interface?

    For example, to call app2. ButtonField.click () or something. »

    It is in fact just an extension to your first question.  The difference is that you will find the UiApplication associated if both applications are on good terms, in fact you can "spend" the UiApplication via a Global event.  Once you have the UiApplication, you can use

    .invokeLater (...)

    to run the user interface code in the other Application.

    But I look at injector event because I think it might be a more general solution.

  • Using screens of the child within an Application

    Hello

    I'm developing my first Blackberry application and I'm trying to set up a kind of a tab page layout where a user would click on one of the 3 buttons on a bar of buttons at the bottom of the screen and a special screen based on the clicked tab or the button.

    That's how I'm currently trying to achieve

    I have a MainWindow() stretching screen that I add to the request.  I added a HorizontalFieldManager to this window I add 3 buttons.  Currently, it appears at the top of the screen, but finally, I would like to have it on the bottom of the screen.  In fact, I wish it were exactly like button bars, you see in the last OS you see on the screen of e-mail inbox.  Is it possible to use a built-in component of blackberry to have my buttons custom like this?

    I created 3 screens that extend the screen containing the appropriate for each particular form fields:

    -DataSubmissionScreen()

    -ReportingScreen()

    -PreferencesScreen()

    When a user clicks on a button, I want to add the relevant display in the remaining space in the MainWindow remaining after the button bar has been added.  However, whenever I try to add a screen MainWindow I get an IllegalStateException error when the program is launched.

    How can I get this feature of child screen on the Blackberry?  It would be more logical for my child 'screens' actually extend FieldManager instead of the screen and add THOSE of MainWindow?

    Thank you

    Mike

    There is no concept of a "child monitor" in Blackberry. There is a single stack screen, and the screen at the top of the stack, period.

    You can push a screen on the stack, it becomes the top of the screen and appears.

    When you jump a screen, the following in the stack screen (if there is one). If you skip the last battery screen, your application will end (unless you plan to do this and avoid it).

    Perhaps this article will provide a few ideas:

  • Using QNX Neutrino utility in 10 Blackberry app

    Hello

    Forgive me if this is a dumb question (as almost certain) but I can't for the life of understand me how actually on the implementation of QNX Neutrino utility in a Blackberry 10 app.

    I am referring specifically to these utilities that are listed in the API reference alphabetically as simply "utilities".

    Documentation for them seems to take, Word for Word, to the documentation of QNX Neutrino.  It seems that they run some kind of command line, and I can't find an example or documentation of how it is integrated with a Blackberry application.

    Is the only way to access these public services by creating a BB app entirely from command line?  Are still available for use in applications of BB (as I said, the utilities of documentation on the site Web of BB does not seem have been written by and for the BB...)

    The only thing I could find is http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Native-Development/wpa-cli/td-p/1717577 who don't has not given me much hope, but that was before the recent/updated SDK updated release and is pretaining to playbook, not BB 10 SDK, so I don't know if it's 100% there...

    Thanks in advance for your help, and I apologize for a vague question.

    I guess you're just exploring and do not necessarily have a specific in mind use case?

    In fact I don't think that these utilities are primarily for use in an application, but rather for use by developers to develop, troubleshooting, testing, or other such things.

    In any case, if you need to use one of them in an application and were willing to bound your app for them even though there is probably no guarantee that they will be always present on the device, there are several approaches.  The most direct is to use the system() C library call.
