BOLD 9700 Simulator

Developing a Blackberry Widget and trying to create database, cannot find appdata/rim/gears folder on the BOLD 9700 simulator.  If i simulate on Storm the appdata/rim/gears folder is available and it lists the database.  Can anyone suggest what might be wrong??

Please use plain text.

Re: BOLD 9700 Simulator

The Storm device has a built in eMMC card that will allow Gears databases to be stored on it.  A Bold 9700 does not have this card.  You must have an SD Card inserted into a Bold 9700 for Gears databases to work.

 

This an be emulated using the simulator's menu:

 

Simulate -> Change SD Card..

 

You can create a directory on your machine that will act as the SD card for the device

Thanks for your quick response.

 

When i insert SD Card it is not creating the folder system/appdata/rim/gears/

 

The blackberry folder is created.

Re: BOLD 9700 Simulator

When you run your widget with the Gears database does the database now get created?
