I am trying to port over my Playbook application which is coded in html webworks, the problem is that there seems to be a limitation for the BB10 that wasn't present on the Playbook.
The following line of code works on my Playbook App, but it does not work in my BB10 App.
db = openDatabase("databasetest", '1.0', 'Test', 30 * 1024 * 1024);
(That should translate to about 30MB of storage)
My app works okay with the above line of code on the Playbook (though I have heard that some users experienced problems with a white screen). On the otherhand, on my BB10 Dev Alpha, when I try to test it, it gives me a white screen and it doesn't seem like the application is loaded since I can't get the web inspector to show up.
If I reduce it to 5MB
db = openDatabase("databasetest", '1.0', 'Test', 5 * 1024 * 1024);
The application starts fine, but I then need to store data into the database, which doesn't work, presumable because it runs out of space. The following bit of code is run
db.transaction(function(tx){
var branch = null;
var i =0;
for(i=0;(i<branchOffices.length);i++){
branch = branchOffices[i];
tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO branches (column1,column2) VALUES (?, ?)', [ branch.column1, branch.column2 ] );
}
}); but nothing gets stored.
If I reduce the loop to stop at 1/10th of the data, which is ~3MB, it works fine.
Which shows that it will only allow up to a certain limit (which I presume to be ~5MB)
How do I get around this limit?
This is so frustrating!
I thought porting from the Playbook was supposed to be easy!
