Web and WebWorks Development

Does the page work in the BB6 Browser?  Have you confirmed that the simulator has an active internet connection? I always open up the browser and go to Google.com to ensure I have an internet conection.

I think our posts are passing each other in the "Inter Webs"  

I would double check that you have an internet connection from the simulator.  Are you running both the MDS simulator and the Smartphone simulator?

The MDS Simulator provides network connectivity to the device simulator.. Complicated?? I know

Ripple will eventually take care of this for you.

Ok, were making some progress now.

Checked the browser and could NOT connect to google.

I deleted the .dmp files from the emulator directory and then

I COULD connect to the google.

I then retried the app and for about 1 second I could see a grey square (the map background) and the the emulator crashed out with the following error:

JVM Error 104 Uncaught: NullPointerException

thanks for your patience and I hope you know the answer to what I hope is a final hurdle?

[tneil]

Was it a one time crash?  Or does this continue to happen each time your run the app?  Also, what version is the OS on the simulator e.g. 6.0.0.x

Hi again,

The crash happens everytime unfortunately and the emulator is v6.0.0.227

[ChrisLad]

I have tried adding to the following argument to command line for the emulator in 9800.bat:

/ignore-error=104 /app-param=JvmNoBreakOnThrowable

This argument tells the emulator to ignore the 104 errors.

The map then becomes visible in the emulator. Hurrah!

Therefore, I signed the app and loaded onto the device.

When I opened the app on the device I get a white screen and grey square of the map background but no map!!!!! Doh!!!

The tiny arrow appears and re-appears in the top right of the screen as if it is getting data but nothing appears.

I have checked that the device (torch) can get to google.com in the browser.

Did you get Google Maps to work in webworks on the device?

Im building a Google Maps based app in webworks...

[ChrisLad]

Yes, the issue I was having was because the company web proxy was blocking the request to Google

I am having the same problem here. I am working on a jquery navigation app for playbook. It works out fine with browser on the desktop. Partial visible google map on the Ripple Emulator. And nothin on the signed App.

So weird！
