Hi,

I have an application that works correctly with API 5.0, but does not start if I compile and run it with API 7.0. If I try to click on the application icon I can read in the console of Eclipse this message:

Foreground app MY_APP_PACKAGE ignoring touchsc[0.0] reen touch/click because it has no target screen.

Can you tell me the meaning of this message? I think this is the problem... This is the main of the app (I've an alternate entry point with application argument "init", home screen position "0", auto-run on startup checked and startup tier "7").

public class MyApp extends UiApplication {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		if (args != null && args.length > 0 && "init".equals((String) args[0])) {
			Timer timer = new Timer();
			timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(), Constants.TimerThread.DELAY_START, Constants.TimerThread.INTERVAL);

		} else {
			MyApp theApp = new MyApp (false);
			theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
		}
		if (ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().inStartup()) {
			MyApp theApp = new MyApp (true);
			theApp.addFileSystemListener(new MyAppFileSystemListener(theApp));
			theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
		}
	}

	
	public MyApp (boolean startup) {
		if (ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().inStartup()) {
			
			registerListener();

			PersistentObject persistentObject = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(Constants.Persistent.VENDITORE_ID);
			persistentObject.setContents((Venditore) null);
			persistentObject.commit();
			
			PersistentObject persistentLog = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(Constants.Persistent.LOG_ID);
			persistentLog.setContents((Boolean) Boolean.TRUE);
			persistentLog.commit();
			
			PersistentObject persistentLockPim = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(Constants.Persistent.LOCK_PIM_ID);
			persistentLockPim.setContents((Boolean) Boolean.TRUE);
			persistentLockPim.commit();
			
			PersistentObject persistentShowOptions = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(Constants.Persistent.SHOW_OPTIONS_ID);
			persistentShowOptions.setContents((Boolean) Boolean.FALSE);
			persistentShowOptions.commit();
			
			PersistentObject persistentSync = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(Constants.Persistent.SYNC_ID);
			persistentSync.setContents((Boolean) Boolean.TRUE);
			persistentSync.commit();
			
			PersistentObject persistentTodo = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(Constants.Persistent.TODO_ID);
			persistentTodo.setContents((String) null);
			persistentTodo.commit();
			
			EventLogger.register(Constants.Persistent.EVENT_LOGGER_ID, Constants.Application.TITLE_APP, EventLogger.VIEWER_STRING);
		} else {
			if (!startup) {
				if (!Util.isSDCardMounted()) {
					Util.logDebug("SDCard non montata");
					pushScreen(new Dialog(Dialog.D_OK, Constants.System.NO_SDCARD_DETECTED,
							0, Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap(Bitmap.EXCLAMATION), Dialog.FIELD_HCENTER));
				} else {
					// Il push dello screen si fa solo se non siamo nella fase di startup
					pushScreen(new MyAppMainScreen());
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	
	
		
	
	public void registerListener() {
		PIM p = PIM.getInstance();
        try {
        	BlackBerryEventList eventList = (BlackBerryEventList) p.openPIMList(PIM.EVENT_LIST, PIM.READ_WRITE);
            eventList.addListener(new SFAPimListener());
        } catch (PIMException e) {
            // Can't add listener
        	Util.logError("Errore durante la registrazione del listener " +
        			"relativo alla modifica di eventi sull'agenda" +
        			"nativa del BlackBerry", e);
        }
        
        MyMenu menu = new MyMenu ();
		ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_CALENDAR, menu);
		

	}

 Thanks in advance.

there should be no difference.
the error message could mean that you did not push a screen, i would suggest to check the proceedings with the debugger.

I agree with Simons comments, my experience is that OS 5.0 apps will run in OS 7.0, and debugging should sort out where your problem. 

That said, there are cases where things that were let go in OS 5.0 were stopped in OS 6.0 and later.  In this case I suspect your start up processing falls into that category.  I would review what you have in there, and compare it with the following KB article.  I think you can re-write it to simplify it and I think it may overcome some of your start-up issues.

Thank you very much. Can you give the link to the KB? I try to search that article but I didn't find it...

Aoppss sorry, link corrected....
