Native Development

Hi,

I am new to Native SDK development for Tablet OS, I am working on a application which have some UI part, need to handle HTTP connections and also need to run in background.

I have tried but failed to download libcurl library for handle the HTTP connections. Can anyone give me the link to download the library file for QNX momentics IDE, and a example source code of using this library for handling HTTP requests, JSON parsing ?

Also I need to find a way to run my application in background. So I am looking for a solution to do so.

Thanks in advance  .

I am pretty sure I saw libcurl port to PB at github in blackberry opensource projects. What happened to it? Where did it go to?

libcurl is built into the NDK. Just import headers from the "curl" folder such as <curl/curl.h>. Make sure to reference the library (curl) in your project.

Thanks rcmaniac25, for your help. Yes this is worked and now I can handle my HTTP requests. For other new developers I simply just describe the process to add curl library in NDK.

1. Right click on your project and go to Configure>Add Library.

2. Click Next and then select the first option(Standard Blackberry platform library).

3. Click Next and write "curl" in the filter box.

4. Finally select the curl Network>Curl option.
