[Playbook Simulator] Event onclick doesn´t work :( (apiDemo.zip example).

Cesar_Vanatur · ‎02-17-2010

Hello everyone.

I downloaded the webwork example "apiDemo.zip". I compiled and deployed correctly, but when I execute the webwork doesn´t work.

The webwork is very simple, it only have one button and when the button is pressed it shows and alert message.

Someone have the some problem ? How to fix it ?

Thanks, kind regards.

Can you provide the URL for the apiDemo.zip file you downloaded?

Also, are you running the PlayBook Simulator on a Mac or a PC?

Hello Tim.

I downloaded "apiDemo.zip" from:

1º. Log in http://webcast.streamlogics.com/audience/index.asp?eventid=49950807

2º. Acces to the second webbinar.

(http://webcast.streamlogics.com/audience/auditorium/index.asp)

3º. The url of the examples on the second webbinar is:

http://webcast.streamlogics.com.edgesuite.net/audience/auditorium/resource_redirect.asp?eventid=1483...

Then, you can download: WebCast2_samples.zip

Inside this file, you can see the folder called "webWorksAPI" and inside the "apiDemo.zip" file.

I am running the simulator on a Mac. The sketchPad example works perfect.

"apiDemo" is very simple, this is the code:

<html>
<head>
	<title>WebWorks API</title>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		function showAbout() 
		{
		   var sAbout = "This is a BlackBerry WebWorks application!\n\n";
		   sAbout += blackberry.app.name + " “;
		   sAbout += blackberry.app.version + "\n";
		   sAbout += "By: " + blackberry.app.author + "\n";
		   sAbout += "(c): " + blackberry.app.copyright + "\n";
		   alert(sAbout);
		}
	</script>
</head>
<body>
		<button onclick="showAbout()">About this application</button>
</body>
</html>

The button doesn´t work.

What´s the problem ?

Thanks, kind regards.

I don´t know how, but now the code works correctly.

(Maybe a javascript error).

Thanks.

i'm unable to get any of my onclick calls to work. do you know what changed? i even tried to use the apiDemo example, and i didn't get an alert. i'm on windows7. my code works when i run it in chrome, including the onclick functions. it just seems the functionality doesn't work for the simulator. any ideas? thanks!

I am having this problem as well. :'(

Did you put <feature id="blackberry.app" version="1.0.0"/> into your config.xml?

shanerooni · ‎03-01-2011

***update: that did the trick! thanks!***

i was wondering why when compiling my app there was a warning that <feature> was missing... i'll have to try it out when i get home this evening. thanks!!!

AHA! Turns out the onclick was working, my code to set the text of a span doesn't work on the playbook. No idea why. but my onclick was able to trigger an alert to display.

Edit: this wasn't my problem either. jQuery 1.5.1 doesn't work on playbook simulator. Grabbed jQuery 1.5 and it works fine. That was 2 days wasted...
