Hi, i have a question, can i a widget put in a autorun mode? cu UserNeo

[tneil]

Not yet... but it is something that is on the roadmap.  I'm sure the follow up question is "when"

I don't quite have the answer for that as we are still working through the scheduling for some of this new added functionality.

[UserNeo]

Thanks for the information. Can I see the roadmap somewhere? Then I see something through to the final still to come .

[tneil]

Well I don't have a full road map that I can share with timing as these things are quite fluid.  But just know that the end goal is that you can build the exact same applications as you can in Java (probably minus Open GL ES)

We are striving to have on-par functionality between both the Web and Java platform.

Hi Mr Miamon,

I have tried it since i knew about it,

but sadly for me, along i tried it, it doesn't work..

both in simulator or even in real device

or does anybody have any idea about the simple blackberry widget application just to simple test to make sure that the "runonstartup" element is really working???

Simple test is the following:

- Load your application onto the simulator

- In the onload of your background page do a setTimeout to call a function in X seconds

- In your timeout function change the homescreen icon or homescreen text

- Or write a file to the SD card, or do an AJAX call to your web server
