Testing and Deployment

I am having a problem - maybe with the simulator for 9800.  The following code works fine on 9700 simulator, but only works on 9800 simulator when I turn on the option, Run Configuration >  Simulator > Debugging > "Do not stop execution when an exception is caught by catch(Throwable)" is turned on.  I am getting the "JVM Error 104 Uncaught: NullPointerException" message and halt. If I check the box above or use the 9700 simulator I have not problems and the app works as expected.  Please help!

I am simply trying to have the phone dial a number on a context menu.

import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.Invoke;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.PhoneArguments;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.menuitem.ApplicationMenuItem;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.menuitem.ApplicationMenuItemRepository;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.Dialog;

public class CallHelpDesk {

	public CallHelpDesk() {
		;
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		CallHelpDeskItem callHelpDeskItem = new CallHelpDeskItem(0);
		ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_CALENDAR_EVENT, callHelpDeskItem);
	}

}

class CallHelpDeskItem extends ApplicationMenuItem {	
	
	CallHelpDeskItem(int order) {
		super(order);
	}
	
	public Object run(Object context) {
		PhoneArguments makeCall = new PhoneArguments(PhoneArguments.ARG_CALL, "800-123-4567");
		try {
			Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_PHONE, makeCall);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			Dialog.alert(e.toString());
		}

		Dialog.alert("Success");
		return context;
	}	
	
	public String toString() {
		return "Call Helpdesk";
	}	
}

Just replying to myself here. . . .I did find that I can continue AND the next time I click I do not get the error - only the first time.  Not sure how to troubleshoot further.

This is an issue with the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator, not with your application.  You shouldn't see this on a real BlackBerry Smartphone either.
