Cascades Development

I tried to implement the use of a ContactPostalAddressBuilder and mapview to show the location of a certain address on a map in Blackberry Cascades Beta 3 SDK, but then the compiler says that there is no such class as AttributeSubKind (which is referred to in ContactPostalAddressBuilder.hpp). I tried to do the following things to solve the problem: 1) I looked up that class online to see the include path - which is and I added an #include statement for that in ContactPostalAddressBuilder.hpp (#include inside of my copy of the <bbndk3\target_10_0_9_386\qnx6\usr\include\bb\pim\contacts\ContactPostalAddressBuilder.hpp file, but it still didn't help. 2) I checked that same contacts folder, and found no such class exists. I then searched for that file in the entire bb directory. 3) I also searched for any file contents containing "class AttributeSubKind" in that entire root directory (the bb directory) - using Notepad++'s Find in File search. But I could not find it anywhere. 4) I tried to search for a download of that class's source code on the internet, but couldn't find it. Does anyone known where I can find the AttributeSubKind class for Blackberry Cascades? 5) I even did a search for that file (AttributeSubKind) in my entire C drive, and I did not find it.

Have you looked at the sample code in Git Hub, specifically: https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Samples/tree/master/PimAddressBook which use the PIM related APIs?

I have now checked the addressbook project.  This file should be in the SDK itself - not in any of these projects - it's certainly not in the addressbook project or in the mapview project.  But these files do not have this problem, because they do not use bb:: pim::contacts::ContactPostalAddressBuilder..  It's when I attempt to use that class, that I get this problem, because the ContactPostalAddressBuilder class uses the AttributeSubKind.

I hadn't implied that the class AttributeSubKind was to be found in this example. it's actually in the NDK in  ContactConsts.hpp. I had meant to suggest looking at that example for help using PIM.

Use of PIM also requires libbbpim.so to be linked against using 

LIBS += -lbbpim

in the .pro file.

I've reproduced the error myself even with libbbpim.so linked and raised this internally as MKS 6448728.

The issue was a missing #include of  ContactConsts.hpp from ContactPostalAddressBuilder.hpp. A fix has been produced and will appear in an IDE refresh.

As a workaroud you can include  ContactConsts.hpp yourself with something like:

....

#include <bb/pim/contacts/ContactConsts>
#include <bb/pim/contacts/ContactPostalAddressBuilder>
#include <bb/pim/contacts/ContactPostalAddress>

...
