I want to know what API can check if "BlackBerry maps" is installed on a device.
I have a BlackBerry application, and I want to call "BlackBerry maps" from this application, or throw an error if "BlackBerry maps" hasn't been installed yet.
Above OS 6.0 you need to check for another code module
int mh1 = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("net_rim_bb_lbs"); // OS 4.5 - 5.0
int mh2 = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("net_rim_bb_maps"); // OS 6.0
if (mh1 == 0 && mh2 == 0) {
Dialog.alert("BlackBerry Maps not installed");
}
You can use this
m_bbHandle = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("net_rim_bb_lbs");
if m_bbHandle > 0 then the module is installed.
net_rim_bb_lbs is BlackBerry Maps.
Here is the link to the doc

After 2 days I'm driving myself nuts because I can't resolve this. My issue is as follows:
1.) I am trying to use javascript target an iOS device (regardless of browser being Chrome on apple, Safari, Firefox on apple etc...) to show a different DOM element verses non iOS browsers.
2. ) My iOS detection code is as follows, which I've seen in several other threads: // Detects if device is on iOS
const isIos = () => {
const userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
return /iphone|ipad|ipod/.test( userAgent );
}
3.) After running this check I am attempting the following in both Safari and Chrome on iOS "my way which I'm assuming is incorrect because it's not working lol!" :
if(!isIos()) {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('showing non iOS banner prompt after delay');
}, 10000);
} else if (isIos()) {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('showing iOS banner prompt after delay');
}, 10000);
}
4.) The proper log is shown through chrome dev tools on my windows laptop when selecting an iOS device (which I know is not an actual iOS enviroment), but no matter what i do, once loaded to the live site it ALWAYS shows the non Ios log on my iPad.
SOLVED (for iPAD)
After finding this post enter link description here i changed my detection method. I was testing on an iPAD (as this is the only Apple product i own because I'm not a fan) and after this correction my current issue was resolved. I hope this works on other devices as well but won't know until I borrow a freind's. Hope someone else finds this helpful.

I'm getting this error when I press a button in a flash/air app that used to work in the AIR 3.2 SDK - now upgraded to the AIR 3.5 SDK. Any help much appreciated.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at seed_template_fla::MainTimeline/frame7()[seed_template_fla.MainTimeline::frame7:31]

I'm creating an app for iPhone using Flash CS6 on Mac and exporting using the Air 3.5 SDK. I also have the AIR 3.5 runtime installed.
The app is very simple at the moment. It basically moves from frame to frame when you press a button using the gotoAndPlay(frameNr) function. There are some hexes on the frames that update an array of numbers when clicked. They are also toggled visible/not visible.
This used to work perfectly using the AIR 3.2 SDK, but I recently downloaded the AIR 3.5 SDK from adobe and added it through flash (Help>Manage Air SDK) and set it as the build target in File>Publish Settings>Target.
When I switch back to AIR 3.2 SDK, the app works perfectly again.
Also, when I upload the app to my iPhone 4S running IOS 5.1 using AIR 3.5 SDK, I just see a black screen with 5 loading dots flashing. This also works fine with AIR 3.2 SDK.
This is the code for frame 7
The last line is line 31.
stop();
techtitle.text = "Select Trait";
techdesc.text = "Spend points to change core stats and other special abilities";
points.visible = false;
techpoints.visible=false;
pointsbalance.text = myPoints.toString();
btn_tech.visible = false;
curTechSelected = null;
trace("set hexes invisible");
for (var j:int = 0; j <= 67; j++) {
if (hexStatusb[j] == 1) {
this["btn_hex_"+j+"b"].visible = false;
}
}
function onBtnHex37bClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
techtitle.text = "tech1";
techdesc.text = "tech1 description"
techpoints.text = "-2";
points.visible = true;
techpoints.visible=true;
btn_tech.visible = true;
curTechSelected = btn_hex_37b;
curTechSelectedNr = 37;
curTechPoints = 2;
}
trace(this["btn_hex_37b"]);
btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);
OK - so, after trying out lots of things, I figured out why this is happening.
Solution: get rid of all TFL text objects when running AIR 3.5 SDK
It seems that the TFL Text library wasn't being loaded properly at runtime. Something crucial that I neglected to mention was that I was getting this warning message (similar here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/825637)
Content will not stream... The runtime shared libraries being preloaded are textLayout_1.0.0.05... TFLText
and this warning message in the output
Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml. The 'secure' attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files.
Simply removing all TFLText objects and changing them to classic text makes the app work fine again.
#csomakk Great news. I have found the answer. You can publish in 3.5 and 3.6 and have your TLF Text too. I posted a write-up on my blog that shows exactly how to do it.
To get started: the error message states that something is null.. it means, that the program doesn't know, where to look for it. It can happen, when you didn't create the object (btn_hex_37b = new MovieClip()); or you haven't even created a variable for it.
on the given line (btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);) only btn_hex_37b can be null, because onBtnHex37bClick exists, and if it wouldn't, the program wouldn't compile.
The reason it came up when switching to AIR 3.5 is probably that it calls some creation functions in different order. Go to the line where you define the btn_hex_37b variable. Search for that functions calling.. Make sure, that btn_hex_37b is created before going to frame7.
Also, if its not a vital, to have onBtn_hex_37bClick, you can do the following:
if(btn_hex_37b){
btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);
}
the if will check if btn_hex_37b is not null.
On the else method, you can give a timeouted method(but that is ugly), or give the eventlistener right after the creation of the object.
Hope this helped.
For Flash CS6, copy this swc:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS6/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/libs/flash.swc
Into my Flash Builder project using these steps:

I have installed mango SDK in my machine and I want to create an application which runs on both Windows Phone OS 7.0 and Windows Phone OS 7.5 devices. Also I need to implement many of the mango features in the same application. Is it possible ? if yes please tell me how to do the version checking, because based on the version we need to implement the mango features.
You'll have to maintain two different versions. You can't compile one XAP that supports both versions at the same time.
The Mango APIs are only available when compiling with the 7.1 SDK. And as such, you can't do in-line checking in the code.
But it's rather pointless, as there's almost no users left that haven't upgraded to Mango, and all new phones ship with Mango.
Now days all the Windows phone are shipping with the Wp7.5 mango version also Older devices are getting mango updates, so it looks pointless in targeting only few WP7.0 running phones.
But if you dont need to anything SDK related api access then you can do this bifurcation.
However You can find the solution to the finding the OS version is in [my answer of same kind of question here.]1
You can do this using the Type class and reflection, although the process will not be easy. Create a Windows Phone 7.0 application, and then create a MangoExtensions class which implements the mango specific features:
http://www.sharpgis.net/post/2011/08/21/Windows-Phone-Adding-Mango-features-to-a-70-WinPhone-App.aspx
bool IsMangoDevice = (Environment.OSVersion.Version >= new Version(7, 1));
if (IsMangoDevice)
{
Type t = Type.GetType("Microsoft.Phone.Shell.StandardTileData, Microsoft.Phone");
//get the constructor for the StandardTileData and create a new instance of it
var newTileData = t.GetConstructor(new Type[] { }).Invoke(null);
//Get the setter method for the title property
var setMethod = newTileData.GetType().GetProperty("Title").GetSetMethod();
//Set the tile title
setMethod.Invoke(newTileData, new object[] { "This is my new tile" });
//Get the create method for the shell tiles
Type shellTileType = Type.GetType("Microsoft.Phone.Shell.ShellTile, Microsoft.Phone");
var createMethod = shellTileType.GetMethod("Create");
//Create the tile, with the uri and tile data
Uri uri = new new Uri("/MainPage.xaml?Test=This_Came_From_A_Secondary_Tile", UriKind.Relative)
createMethod.Invoke(null, new object[] { uri, newTileData});
}
I'm working on a BlackBerry application that uses a MapView.
At the moment, I'm only showing the MapView, nothing more.
This is a snippet from the code I use for it:
public class MapScreen extends MainScreen {
private MapField map;
public MapScreen() {
super(MainScreen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);
map = new MapField();
map.moveTo(new Coordinates(50.847573,4.713135, 0));
add(map);
//...
}
//...
}
I'm using net.rim.device.api.lbs.MapField because I have to be compatible with OS 5.0
On the simulator, everything's fine and it's working.
But the moment I deploy it on the device, I see a white screen...
The device has an internet connection, but only over Wi-Fi. First I was thinking that that was the problem, but according to "Blackberry services that are available over Wi-Fi connections", it shouldn't be a problem.
So, does anybody know why it's not working on the device, and how I can solve this?
Thanks
You say "the device has an internet connection, but only over Wi-Fi" which makes me beleive you don't have the real device provisioned with a BlackBerry data plan. You need that plan in order to access any BlackBerry services, even over Wi-Fi.
To check for an appropriate connection you can use:
if (CoverageInfo.isCoverageSufficient(CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_BIS_B) {
// Connection will support BlackBerry services
} else if (CoverageInfo.isCoverageSufficient(CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) {
// Connection will support BlackBerry services if BES allows the connection to BIS servers.
}
A better way of checking for this is to check the ServiceBook entries for LBSConfig or variants thereof.
That allows devices that are no longer on a plan, but were once configured by one with LBS, to function properly.
private static final boolean have_lbs() {
ServiceBook sb = ServiceBook.getSB();
ServiceRecord[] records = sb.getRecords();
int count = records.length;
for (int ii = 0; ii < count; ++ii) {
if (records[ii].getCid().toUpperCase().startsWith("LBS"))
return true;
}
return false;
}
I am trying to build a payment appication on BlackBerry jde version 5.0.0.14. When I debug the code, PaymentEngine object is always null. Why does this happen? Is there any fault in my code?
private PaymentEngine engine = PaymentEngine.getInstance();
public PurchaseDemoScreen()
{
setTitle("Payment Service SDK Demo");
if (engine != null)
{
engine.setConnectionMode(PaymentEngine.CONNECTION_MODE_LOCAL);
//do shopping
}
else
{
//in-app purchase unavilable
}
}
What version of the BlackBerry App World do you have installed?
PaymentEngine.getInstance()
does return null if the BlackBerry device does not have BlackBerry App World 2.1 or higher installed.
