First, and I know it is a fine point but programming is all about fine points, you don’t synchronize on Classes, you sychronize on Objects (which are instances of Classes).

On Blackberry you can use standard Java sychronization techniques, synchronized methods:

public synchronized void mySynchronizedMethod() {
   // synchronized code
}

and synchronized blocks:

public void myMethod() {
   //code
   syncrhonized(someObject) {
      // synchronized code
   }
   // code
}

You can also use a specific object to synchronize with the event thread and have your code run on the event thread which allows serialized access to the UI:

public void myMethod() {
   //code
   syncrhonized(UiApplication.getEventLock()) {
      // synchronized code
   }
   // code
}
