Java Development

Hi Friends,

To wipe/erase personal data we have the following option on BlackBerry Phone (Model: 9930)
Options -> Security  -> Security Wipe

I want to provide the same option in my BlackBerry App (e.g. A button labelled "Erase Personal Data")
How can I simulate the same functionality through java code

Can anyone please provide some help or provide reference to any API

Thank you,

Welcome to the forums.

Can you clarify what this app would erase.  Is it just your apps data?

[mkrayapudi]

Peter, Thank you for the response,

It should remove all the personal data

The same functionality of the command (Options -> Security  -> Security Wipe)

but through my App.

there is no API for that, it is not possible.
you can do it using a BES though.

Simon, thank you for the response.

My requirement is similar to WIPE option in the BuddyGaurd  App

or

similar to the following java code in BlackBerry

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad.exe");

instead of "notepad.exe" I want to execute Options -> Security  -> Security Wipe from BlackBerry App

i don't think this software does a security wipe, i guess it "just" deletes all the things it mentions using the APIs that are existing.

thank you,

not only Security Wipe, is it possible to simulate any command through code like we do in Java (e.g. Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad.exe");    )

no.
you can do input simulation (clicks, key presses), and you can launch native applications if you know their module name, but both approaches have their limits.

see http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.1.0api/net/rim/device/api/system/ApplicationManager.html... or http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.1.0api/net/rim/device/api/system/ApplicationManager.html... to see how to run an application.
