Does anyone have a clue as to why this returns a null descriptor in BlackBerry OS 7? It works fine in 5.0 and 6.0, but refuses to work with https urls. Regular http works ok, but for some reason this fails. I tried other similar http/https counter parts and they all have the same results. I’m using the 9930 7.0 simulator. I have no more hair to pull out.
ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
ConnectionDescriptor descriptor = factory.getConnection("https://www.google.com");
I’ve been working on this for a million years, and the moment I cave and make a question, I figured it out. It appears the default settings on the 7.0 Simulator need to be changed. This is what I did:
Manage Connections ->
Under “Options and Status”… Wi-Fi Network ->
Select “Default WLAN Network”
It was peculiar because I was able to browse the net with the built in browser and the default settings. I didn’t suspect anything was out of wack. Sigh.
