I am getting this error report on Blackberry Curve 9300 with OS 6 installed. Is it possible and if yes why and how to fix it?

Class Background is available since 4.6.

The app is compiled with jde 4.6.

Try compiling with OS6 and see if you get errors at compile time or runtime.

I compiled with jde6.0 and no errors were found. I also thought that some class/method might be deprecated but it compiles without problems.

[superdirt]

Does it run after you compile it with 6.0?

[dx22]

Yes it does...this is very strange

[superdirt]

Great! Sounds to me like it's a bug in the framework. Consider doing a separate release for os 6.

Can you give us the OS levels and Simulator/device details that apply in this case.  I am concerned that every application that uses a Background needs to be recompiled if this bug is as described.

I think there was a misunderstanding in the previous posts. I misread superdirt's previous post.

What I meant is that the app compiles with both 4.6 and 6.0 and runs on other 6.0 devices such as torch and bold 9780.

I got report that the Background class was missing on 9300 with os 6.

It is very strange error - I found somewhere on the forum that if your res folder exceeds some size limit you might end up with errors for missing classes. I tried on the 9300 simulator and it runs ok.

It would surprise me if

" Background class was missing on 9300 with os 6"

is generally true.  It might be that there is an OS level was built without it.  So can you tell us the specific OS level that you see on the 9300 device that reports this error?

Well I didn't test it myself but the info I have is that the platform version is 6.3 but i don't know whether that info is correct.
I will just build it without the usage of the Background class and try again
