Java Development

Hi everybody,

I would like to thank everyone for all their help over the months helping me get my BB apps up and approved by the App World.

However, some of them are getting reviews that they are crashing, giving java.lang.NullPointerException errors and fatal exception errors.

I can't figure out why. Some reviews say the apps are great, some reviews say it won't even run. Is this kind of flakiness normal? Are there any major things I should look into to fix these issues?

Another thing, most of the bad reviews appear to be coming from Storm users. Should I build, compile an alternate build for touch devices versus

You'll need to get the stack trace fronm the device event log and figure out where the NPE is coming from.

No, this kind of flakiness is not normal, unless you develop/test for one device and expect it to work on 10 different models on 20 different carriers, with 30 different OS levels

I suggest that yes, make a "touch" build. Compatibility mode is not very friendly.

I have a touch build for the Storm device and another build common for other devices. It works :-)
