That depends.  Look for the documentation for that application and this method for more.

i am putting my descriptor, but it is giving an error. What am i supposed to put in the descriptor

[aliajones]

package mypackage;

import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;
import net.rim.device.api.system.ApplicationDescriptor;
import net.rim.device.api.system.ApplicationManager;
import net.rim.device.api.system.ApplicationManagerException;
/**
 * This class extends the UiApplication class, providing a
 * graphical user interface.
 */
public class MyApp extends UiApplication
{
    /**
     * Entry point for application
     * @param args Command line arguments (not used)
     * @param newDescriptor 
     */ 
    public static void main(String[] args, ApplicationDescriptor newDescriptor)
    { 
    	
	   try 
        {  ApplicationManager appmanager = ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager();
		    appmanager.lockSystem(false);
            appmanager.scheduleApplication(newdescriptor, 1728000, false);
        } 
        catch(ApplicationManagerException e) 
        {
            //handle situation when application cannot run
        }
        MyApp theApp = new MyApp();       
        theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
    }
    

    /**
     * Creates a new MyApp object
     */
    public MyApp()
    {        
        // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering.
        pushScreen(new MyScreen());
    }    
}
The error  is in the highlighted text. I have no clue what to put in the descriptor.I tried puting the name of my xml,but nothing seems to work
I hope i m clear and not disturbing the flow of threads.
Hope i am answered now :-)

What are you trying to achieve?

[aliajones]

i am trying to make an application which launches itself after a certain allotted time

[peter_strange]

How is this app going to be started the first time?  auto-start, or will the user start it?

Have you looked at this method?

ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor()

I have included this method that u told i want my app to launch lets say after 45seconds after i have clicked on it..I dont want the user to be involved at any level.Could u help ...my code is just an error-free snippet but is not doing anything.

public class MyApp extends UiApplication
{
    /**
     * Entry point for application
     * @param args Command line arguments (not used)
     * @param newDescriptor 
     */ 
    public static void main(String[] args)
    { ApplicationDescriptor template = ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor();
      String[] args1 = { "admin","secure" };
      ApplicationDescriptor newdescriptor = new ApplicationDescriptor(template, args1);
      ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor();
      ApplicationManager appmanager = ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager();
	  appmanager.lockSystem(false);
      appmanager.scheduleApplication(newdescriptor, 3728000, false);
      MyApp theApp = new MyApp();       
      theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
    }
    

    /**
     * Creates a new MyApp object
     */
    public MyApp()
    {        
        // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering.
        pushScreen(new MyScreen());
    }    
}
