Java Development

[pedro93]

Hi everyone.

I will admit, I am a total noob to Blackberrys and Java.

I am  a full time website developer. I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.

My brother asked me if I could write him a Blackberry App for his company.

I am using a HTML website which the App will load on request.

Everything is okay apart from one thing. When I simulate the App the webpage doesn't load. I get a warning in eclipse saying:
Warning!: method 'mypackage.MyApp.main(String[])' not invoked.

This is the functions the error refers to:

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently
        // running thread the application's event dispatch thread.
        MyApp theApp = new MyApp();
        theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
    }

and finally when I load the app it only loads this function:

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently
        // running thread the application's event dispatch thread.
        MyApp theApp = new MyApp();
        theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
    }

Help will be great

Thanks guys!

Definitly, have a look at webworks on developer.blackberry.com, no need of java for you

Hi thanks for the reply

Firstly WebWorks requires ripple, and ripple won't work on my 64 bit PC? I have installed it but nothing appears in my installed programs.

Secondly, I releaized that the method I was using above isn't quite right, so I am using the broswer field method. I am just getting the following errors in the BlackBerry SDK 9930 simulator:

Local connection timeout after 120000 on simulator

Error displaying content: Error message java.lang.RuntimeException: ApplicationRegistry.waitFor(0xd0fe7d73384d7f0d)

and I can't figure out how to change the MDS-CS version?

If you have a BlackBerry device, it's even better than Ripple.

Your requirement are completly in the scope of Webworks instead of Java

Hi there. As I said I am a total noob to blackberrys as I don't actually own one. My brother uses a blackberry curve. Ripple won't install on my PC, how would I develop a HTML app and test it on a device or simulator then?
