I have developed an incoming email message alert application and I have also set it as "Auto-run on startup" in the Application tab in the BlackBerry JDE.

I have installed it into BB device using BlackBerry Desktop Software's Application Loader and restarted the BB device. But, still its not listening for the incoming messages. Does I need to change any properties in the actual BB device to start this application?

Is your application RIM signed?

Thanks!

remove the autostart as long as you test your application, you can see errors without restarting your device.

Yes, I have signed my application and one other application (Custom SMS) which has GUI is working properly. But, I can't check this listener application, because its not have any screen associated with it. Its just a background application. Whenever an email message arrives, then only it will popup an alert message.

Ok, I will uncheck the auto-restart option. But, don't get any error while rebooting though!

Start the application manually and check if it detects the incoming messages..

Thanks!

And just to answer the original question, no there is nothing you need to do on the BlackBerry device itself to autostart the application.

I take it suto-start is working in the Simulator?  What JDE and Device levels are involved here?

I have manually started the application. I have given a popup window as "Application started" initially using the following code:

UiEngine ui = Ui.getUiEngine();Screen screen = new Dialog(Dialog.D_OK, data, Dialog.OK,            Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap(Bitmap.EXCLAMATION),            Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL);ui.queueStatus(screen, 1, true);

But, its showing an empty white screen and disappearing after some time.

Is there anything with the way of showing popup message?

Is there any alternate way to do this?

Thanks

Set alternate entry point to ur application.. It seems it is the option for that application to show popup to the foreground!

Thanks..
