A look at my download reports

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I released my first BB10 app back on Oct. 28th (trying to get a free Red Z10) and then I did an update on Dec. 04. When you do a basic report in the BlackBerry Vendor World, you see something like this. Which doesn’t tell you much, except for that a bunch of people updated the app when I released the new version. To get more detailed information, you do scheduled report (which is a misleading title).  A scheduled report is an CSV output of the application, date downloaded, batch file downloaded, application version, device model, device OS, country, carrier Continue reading A look at my download reports→

My first BlackBerry 10 app

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I just updated my first BlackBerry 10 application; Meetup for BlackBerry 10. I was attempting to get the app released by a deadline in order to win a free Z10 in Red.  The offer was to be one of the first 500 developers to build an app and then get it certified as Built for BlackBerry in a certain time frame.   Well, I didn’t get it submitted in time, because there is a big delay between getting your app submitted and getting it reviewed; then apparently there is a delay for getting Built for BlackBerry certified.  Because I rushed Continue reading My first BlackBerry 10 app→

Checking for a COLUMN before ALTER TABLE

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

SQLite is one of the many ways to store data on BB10. I find it is easier for me to use sql calls to get the information I want then doing the old BB OS way of using Vectors.  Also, instead of using DataModels to populate a form in BB10, I am calling from the database and then creating a instance of the item to fill in, once I have retrieved the data (I’ll write up another post about that).  The issue with SQLite is that it is “Lite”, which means not all functionality is available in order to reduce Continue reading Checking for a COLUMN before ALTER TABLE→

OAuth2 with WebView and C++ call

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I have been struggling with figuring out OAuth connection for an application I am trying to create for BB10.  There are examples for WebWorks and Native in the GitHub repositories, but they weren’t very straight forward.  And there were hints and posts that it could be done in a more simple method using WebView.  After looking at a bunch of different code, I finally figured it out and not it seems easy.  The key was to use the WebView for the initial call for OAuth to get a code to send for the final Access authentication and then use C++ Continue reading OAuth2 with WebView and C++ call→

Continuos Vibrate and Music Alert until Confirmation : update

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I had recently thought I solved my issue with creating a continuous vibrate and music alert for the BlackBerry application that I created for work. Unfortunately, when I put the fix on to the phone, the volume level of the music was very low, even though I had the volume set to 100%. So, it was back to the drawing board to try and figure out how to get this working. The main issue was determining if the music had finished and then starting it again until the user pressed a key. After messing around with NotificationsEngineListener, Event and the Continue reading Continuos Vibrate and Music Alert until Confirmation : update→

BB10 AIR Getting Started Completely

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I have been meaning to get started on some BlackBerry 10 development, so I loaded the SDK for AIR and Flash Builder 4.6. With Flash Builder 4.6, you are supposedly able to create an iOS, Android or BlackBerry (tablet and BB10) application all at the same time. However, when you build for the least common denominator, you lose functionality for a specific platform. Because of this (and that I really don’t need to develop for iOS or Android at the moment) I started an application only for the BlackBerry. While attempting to install VMWare for the virtual machine that allows Continue reading BB10 AIR Getting Started Completely→
