Question

Hi I wanna add a SplashScreen to my Blackberry Application, i modified the code from here and modified it to this :

package main;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;

import java.util.*;

public class SplashScreen extends MainScreen {
    private UiApplication application;
    private Timer timer = new Timer();
    private static final Bitmap _bitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("SPlachS.png");
    public SplashScreen(UiApplication ui) {
        super(Field.USE_ALL_HEIGHT | Field.FIELD_LEFT);
        this.application = ui;
        this.add(new BitmapField(_bitmap));
        SplashScreenListener listener = new SplashScreenListener(this);
        this.addKeyListener(listener);
        timer.schedule(new CountDown(), 5000);
        application.pushScreen(this);
    }
    public void dismiss() {
        timer.cancel();
        application.popScreen(this);
        application.pushScreen(new MyScreen());
    }
.....

I just modified the constructor and that’s all (i also tried the code from here) but I’m always having an Uncaught Runtime Exception

For splash screen simply use this in your constructor..

Thread th = new Thread() 
        {
            public void run() 
            {
                try 
                { 
                    Thread.sleep(2000); 
                } catch (Exception ex) 
                { 
                }
                UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater ( new Runnable() 
                    { 
                        public void run () 
                        {
                            UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(newScreen);
                            close();
                        }
                    }
                );
            }
        };
        th.start();

add everything to the screen before this thread.. I tried thid. hope it will work for u..
