Java Development

[colubris]

Hello,

  I am preparing for the development of my first application for 
BB. This application needs to have network access as well as 
access to the embedded GPS perfectly without any notification to the 
user, or eventually only one notification during install time. Is it 
something possible to achieve in BB ? Could you please point to some documentation about it ?

Other requirements that I would like to check first if they are possible to achieve in BB:

1. This application needs to be run in background.

2. The application needs to be started during phone start (so working as a service).

3. It must be possible to receive and read SMS (perfectly using dedicated port number, not using standard Inbox).

 Are all of these requirements possible to achieve on BB ? Could you please point to some documentation (or keywords) ?

Thank you and best regards, 
  Marcin
