Question

I found this code, which I guess is for the java file, but does that actually display it, or how do I do the XML? And does Blackberry have a nice GUI for the BB UI yet?

import net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;

public class BrowserFieldDemo extends UiApplication
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        BrowserFieldDemo app = new BrowserFieldDemo();
        app.enterEventDispatcher();
    }

    public BrowserFieldDemo()
    {
        pushScreen(new BrowserFieldDemoScreen());
    }
}

class BrowserFieldDemoScreen extends MainScreen
{
    public BrowserFieldDemoScreen()
    {
        BrowserFieldConfig myBrowserFieldConfig = new BrowserFieldConfig();
        myBrowserFieldConfig.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE,BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER);
        BrowserField browserField = new BrowserField(myBrowserFieldConfig);

        add(browserField);
        browserField.requestContent("http://www.blackberry.com");
    }
}

I got the code from this page

My end-game is to have a web-based app using HTML5 since BB is a b*tch to program. I figure the HTML is super easy, and this way I just have to figure out how to show a webpage. Is there any reason I should not attempt this method?

Answer 1

HTML5 webapp is the best solution since not all BBs use the same code
