Cascades bb10 how to taking screenshot with API Level 10.0 - blackberry

Is there any other way to take screenshot by code ?
I read this post How to programatically take a screenshot on BlackBerry 10 using cascades?
and i read this too https://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades/bb__system__screenshot.html
but i need to take the screenshot with minimum API level 10.0.
is there any other way to do this?
thanks

Taking screenshots is available since API level 10.2. All BlackBerry devices recently received an update to OS 10.3.1. So, there should be no problem requiring API level 10.2 in an app.

Downgrade an iPhone for testing purposes

I am wondering if it is possible to downgrade an iPhone to older versions of iOS even when the firmware is not signed by Apple.
I am a developer and I might need to install iOS6/7 on my iPhone, which currently has iOS8.
Is there a way to do that?
No, if you had an older device and saved the SHSH blobs when Apple were still signing the firmware then you would be able to.
I keep an old device for each major version of the OS from 4 upwards, and you get get them on ebay for quite cheap. iOS 6 is a very small percentage of the overall market now, so unless you are needing to support it for a specific reason it would be best to drop support.
If anyone is still interested in this in 2017, you can save your SHSH2 blobs by following this guide & then using Prometheus from Tihmstar.

Implementation of Newaer SDK

I want to know the basic implement newaer SDK (https://www.newaer.com) in my app for iOS Devices. I could not find anything useful on SO or any where else on internet regarding the Implementation of Newaer SDK. I did a lots of R&D but could not find any solution. if anyone has worked with newaer SDK earlier that would be great. Please help. I have some basic questions on this and if you know any tutorial that would be great. My questions are:-
How to find out the unique NewaerID of my device.
With the help of Newaer SDK can we find the android SDK.
There are some other questions. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Currently the SDK for iOS can not see Android devices, however, the opposite is not true. i.e. Android can see iOS devices which are broadcasting.
NewAer is currently working on a new API which will provide this feature.
The current iOS SDK does not reveal the NewaerID of a an iOS device. The next release for iOS will include api calls to retrieve this identifier.
In terms of implementation, the best guide is to look at the sample application in the SDK bundle. If you can explain your use case a little more I may be able to help you to reach it using the existing SDKs.
just drag the newaer-sdk-proximity-ios.framework to your project,and register a app and app id in https://www.newaer.com/landing

zxing barcode scanning library for blackberry

I want to implement the barcode scanner for Blackberry device higher then 5.0. As I am quite new to barcode scanning, I tried to google it and tried searching on stackoverflow. Got few samples, but quite confused.
Can anyone provide me links to get Zxing SDK for blackberry ?
The ZXing project is already built into Blackberry OS 6+. Still you may want to use a later version than the version that is included. You can of course download this from the site at http://code.google.com/p/zxing. BBOS support was discontinued in version 2.0, so you will need to use 1.7.
I think it may help you:

If you are not getting the code there then check this link:
barcode-code-scanning for 5.0 and 6.0
Note: It is better to read the conversations in the above link to understand well.

IOS sdk 4.3 and camera effects like mirror, blur, thermal... etc?

There were many voices about camera effects on IOS SDK 4.3 (as you can read here), after the final release i can't find anything about that on Apple API change log.
Was it my fault and i made inaccurate research with google and Documentation ? Anyone knows anything more about this subject ?
These effects are available via PhotoBooth on the iPad2 but not in the SDK as for as I am aware. Looking at the names PBThermalFilter for example it'd seem that may be the case.

Can Appcelerator Titanium be used to develop iPad apps?

I'm trying to find out whether Appcelerator's Titanium is good for iPad app development, or if it can even be used as such?
There seemed to be an announcement in April 2010 of a 'Titanium Tablet' package, although I can find no further mention of this. From the forums (where I've also asked this question, but have yet to receive any responses) it sounds like people are developing iPad apps, but I've yet to receive a definitive answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Toby
Yes, you can use Titanium to develop iPad apps. There are a few iPad only UI elements in the API: here
Yup, Titanium works for iPad apps. Like Dave said above, there are some (two to be exact, as of today) iPad specific API's, other than those you would just use all the other existing APIs and when you create your project in Titanium Developer, you would choose iPad as the project type.
The API documentation (linked to the iPad specific APIs but the list on the left has all available ones for Mobile Dev):
http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.iPad-module
To get an idea of what you can do, take a look at the Kitchen Sink Apps. There are two, one for the iPad, which is basic and really only shows the iPad specific API usage for the most part. The other is for the iPhone which has nearly every available API on display. They are ugly apps but they do the job of showing you what's possible and give some decent reference code. You can find the kitchen sink apps on Git hub (link below) and go here (http://developer.appcelerator.com/doc/kitchensink) to see how to run them in them the simulator (requires xCode which is free from Apple).
Also, you can find some showcased iPad apps built with titanium on the Appcelerator website (link Below), just search the page for the word iPad.
Kitchen Sink Apps : github.com/appcelerator/KitchenSink
Appcelerator Showcase : appcelerator.com/showcase/applications-showcase/
(sorry for the non linked URLs but Github will not let you post more than one link unless you have more than 10 reputation points)
Currently you can build iPod, iPad, Android. BlackBerry is also available if your a paying member.
Source is also on Github if you want to have a look first.
