If the code is working fine on simulators but not on actual devices, this means you'll need to re-install it again properly. While installation it will ask to view the permissions. I think you'll need to allow the all [or required] connections. I hope this will work. Regards.

BlackBerry development is also easy though I don't know about the Android. RIM has a very well defined API for BlackBerry development.

But there are lot of limitations and restrictions imposed by RIM while installing software on devices. Following link may be helpfull for you before starting development for BlackBerry.

Before Starting Mobile Application Development...

Sorry db, Now I'll not cross-post the questions. I read the link you have provided me. I really don't understand the problem behind the cross-posting? I mean why it is not in a interest of those who are answering my question. Please can you clarify me bit more?

I though I can get response from at least any one forum to save the time, so I post it on multiple forums. And when I get the proper answer that worked for me, I post that answer on other un-answered thread in another forum, so that it may be helpful for other people over there.

Anyways, I'll not cross-post again.

But in case if I need urgent information, what should I do? Also, for example, I am using java MIDP API, so I post it on Java forums. And also I am having problems running my application on BlackBerry, so I post the same question on BlackBerry forum, so that I can get help who had same experience?

Best Regards.

Thanks, I got that. But then I'll have to use RIM API, so it will not be cross-platform. On touching custom text field, it should produce virtual keypad which is provided by the device vendor. IE on Samsung full touch screen, it will produce Samsung's virtual keypad, and on Nokia full touch, it will produce Nokia's virtual key pad. Are you getting me? Is there nay way or setting to achieve this? Best Regards.

Thanks Carol,

I also think that the device has a bug. I tested the same code on almost 12 recent devices. Out of those, on 10 it is showing the selected command in to the list of commands on pressing the menu button. But on 8300 and I found one more... 8110, it is not showing in to the list. Both of these are quiet old devices.

8300 launched in the beginning of the 2007.
8110 launched in the beginning of the 2008.

What might be the problem? Is there any link which states that there is a bug in these two phones? So that I can show it to my senior? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards.

Thanks Carol, Exactly! You got my problem. I know I have to handle such case. But for that I want some direction. At the moment I don't even know how to start thinking on this. There may be different keypads like QWERTY or with multiple letters on a single key. How can I detect it? For QWERTY its easy, but how can I achieve for normal keypad?
Note: I am not using RIM API.

Best Regards

Thanks Carol, I am sorry, I forgot to mention that I have not used RIM API to keep my midlet cross-platform. Regards.

Hi Everyone,

Is there any way to detect programmatically the device features such as

1. whether the device is QWERTY or simple CLDC type
2. whether the device is full touch screen
3. whether the device is touch screen with QWERTY keypad

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards.

Hi, Is there any way? Please guide me. I am eagerly waiting for your kind response. Best Regards.

Thanks Carol,

Yes you are right, I am not using RIM API as I want my midlet to be cross-platform.

In my midlet I have used STANDARD TEXT FIELD which is available in the Java MIDP API. It produce the virtual keypad when I touch this standard text field which comes with the Java MIDP API.

In the same way what should I do so that it can produce the virtual keypad even on custom items also?

Best Regards

Hi Everyone,

I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.

For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:

CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
setItemCommandListener(this);

On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I traverse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesn't appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.

Please do me a favor and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.

Regards

Hi Everyone,

I have developed a midlet by using custom items at many places. At the very beginning midlet shows a login screen with USERNAME and PASSWORD which are not standard text fields. I have designed them to look like text fields using custom items.

I have managed to give the same effect as like a standard text fields when user types the characters.

On QWERTY devices, I can type anything. But on NON-QWERTY CLDC phones, I cant type what I want. I mean every key on the device have 3 letters [ and on some there are 4 letters]. When I want to type last letter on any key on keypad, I cant do that, and all the letters on that particular key are getting displayed.

I hope you understand my problem. Please let me know if need more information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What should I do so that my custom item can work for both QWERTY and NON-QWERTY devices?

Best Regards

Hi Everyone,

I have developed a midlet with some custom items. When midlet starts it shows the login screen with the custom designed USERNAME and PASSWORD fields. When user enters letters/numbers through the keypad on the device, they get displayed in the selected custom item. I have managed to give the same effect as like of actual standard TextField.

But it requires keypad on the device. It wont work on the full touch screen phones, as there is no way to enter letters/numbers on the full touch screen devices.

On full touch screen, if I touch on the standard TextField [not custom designed], application produces virtual keypad on the screen. In the same way, What should I do so that application can produce the virtual keypad when user touches the custom item?

Best Regards
