BlackBerry Java Plugin for Eclipse - .net web service - blackberry

Question

I have a web service that accepts a username and password and if the login credentials are correct, it returns the user's name, status, image and last known gps coordinates.
As for now I am stuck in the "login" button where the application neither proceeds nor throws any error. Simulator produces no result and I am unable to load the app on to my handset.

In the code you posted, nothing is ever setup to respond to your login button being pressed.
First of all, let's remove this anonymous class that implements FieldChangeListener:
FieldChangeListener btnlistener = new FieldChangeListener() {
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
and make it like this:
private class LoginButtonListener implements FieldChangeListener {
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
// no change to the content of this method!
}
}
and in the constructor for LoginTestScreen, instantiate it, and hook it up to the login button:
loginBtn = new ButtonField("Login", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
loginBtn.setChangeListener(new LoginButtonListener());
it looks like you were close, in the commented out code. Just needed a little more. Try that, and report back!
Note: you could make it work with the anonymous button listener class you originally had. I just don't like the readability of anonymous classes when they get that big, especially since your btnListener member was declared in a totally different place than all your other ones. The real missing piece was the call to setChangeListener. I just wanted to differentiate what I'm recommending, from what's needed.
