Blackberry Pearl Dev Journal: Making Progress

It’s a while since I’ve done Java programming, but I’m slowly getting up to speed for programming on my Blackberry Pearl.

  • Have gotten my signed+registered keys to sign my code (the signature files were originally placed in the wrong folder by the application)
  • Can successfully request files over HTTP
  • Discovering that the Blackberry API docs often have completely non-working code samples
  • Can open the SDCard filesystem and write files/folders
  • Got the JDE to finally rebuild w/o having to restart the simulator
  • Have loaded an app OTA
  • Discovered that the camera MMAPI interface doesn’t exist… but there’s a workaround that’d probably work OK for what I need
