Hello,

I'm playing around with the BlackBerry widget, creating a text link to an external site but I keep getting the same error:

Could not select proper Transport Descriptor for: http://yahoo.com.

The url is listed in the widget permissions.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I am running Eclipse 3.4.1 and Blackberry Widget SDK beta 2.0  on Windows xp

Thanks

Hi mbugeja,

I have a few questions for you to see if we can help you out.

- Can you list the full domains that you have added to the permissions of your widget?

- For your domain have you also listed that you want to allow sub-domains?

- Does the url you are trying to access do any kind of re-directs?

Also note that http://yahoo.com is a different domain than http://www.yahoo.com

Hi Tim,

This is what I have in my config.xml. Its actually olg.ca that I am trying to access.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets" version="1.0.0.0">
  <name>test1</name>
  <access subdomains="true" uri="http://www.olg.ca"/>
  <content src="index.html"/>
</widget>

This domian is not using a re-direct.

Thanks

try this:

<access subdomains="false" uri="*"/>

or

<access subdomains="true" uri="*"/>

Thanks for your suggestion, but this did not work.

I receive the following errors: JVM Error 104 uncaught: Exception

And then a window opens up with Could not select proper Transport Descriptor

Could it be an issue with connection settings? I am using 9500 simulator.

Can you post the version of the OS of the 9500 simulator you are using?

Im not sure if this is what you mean but its running on windows xp and this is what is on the About screen:

BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator 2.13.0.56

Hi mbugeja,

Can you also list the version of the BlackBerry OS that is running in that simulator?

Thanks,

[mbugeja]

I'm sorry where can I find that information?

I know the web plugin is 2.0.0 and the widget SDK is 1.0.0

Thanks

When you run the BlackBerry simulator, you can navigate to the options area of the BlackBerry OS. Then select the "About" section of the options.  It should tell you the OS version number.
