Blackberry Development – Lessons Learned Part 1

Apr 5

Posted by fmapap in Blackberry | No Comments

As I prepped the release of our 2007 edition of MLBTracker, I found out that the software wasn’t working correctly on newer blackberries (the 8100 and 8800 use the 4.2 OS).  Unfortunately debugging the application wasn’t easy at all.  What I ended up needing to do was install the 4.2 JDE.  So I had the 4.1 and 4.2 JDE both installed on my machine.  I use Eclipse as my IDE, I left the JRE for my project pointing to the 4.1 JDE, but that added new ANT tasks that would deploy the application to the 8100/8800 simulator.  This allowed me to get the Eclipse debugger working with the application, from there it only took a few minutes to find that the 4.2 JDE must be more strict when dealing with items in a ListField element (there was a bug that the 4.1 JDE just handled, but on 4.2 it crashed the application).

 Stay tuned for the official release announcement for MLB Tracker, you can download it now and help us with our testing!

Hi,

This is our first blog.  Basically we decided that since we get so much good information about technology and web development from other blogs out there we would write our own.  For the most part we are going to chronicle the development of our first website My Friend Suggests, both from the technical aspect and the fun trying to promote a new site. We also will discuss our experiences with regular application development and even development of software for the blackberry and cellphones.  We’ll probably also have some general commentary with regards to technology and other random things along the way. Check back often!
