Hi All,

Plz have a look on my code. This code ias being used for adding menuitem in Blackberry 5.0

try {
    blackberry.system.event.onHardwareKey(blackberry.system.event.KEY_BACK, handleBack);
    function handleBack() {
        alert("handle back button");
        }
    if (blackberry.ui.menu.getMenuItems().length > 0) {
          blackberry.ui.menu.clearMenuItems();
     }
        var item = new blackberry.ui.menu.MenuItem(false, 1, "Exit", OnClickExitButton);
        blackberry.ui.menu.addMenuItem(item);     
} catch (e) {
    alert('exception (addMenus): ' + e.name + '; ' + e.toString());
}

I am compiling my code in WW SDK 2.3 . while running application in BB 5.0 it gives "refrence error: handleBack is not defined,."

Even feature is added in config file:

  <feature id="blackberry.system" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>
  <feature id="blackberry.system.event" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>
  <feature id="blackberry.ui.dialog" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>

Please let me know the solution. I am stuck here, not able to add menuitem in my application.

Define function handleBack() outside of your try block, and outside of whatever function the try block is in.
