Changing Icon on Push Event

[dennis_boerger]

How can I change an application icon (on the desktop) when a push event happens? Is there any function to do that?

Thanks in advance
Dennis

You can set the icon with the ApplicationManager, and you can add a listener for push events

where can I find the application manager?

Any Code samples? ... I am new to BB programming.

The class ApplicationManager. Take a look at blackberry.com/developer - they have loads of good documents and samples.

I checked the ApplicationManager class but I could not find any method to set an Icon!?

You can get ApplicationDescriptor using methods in ApplicationManager.
Then you can create new ApplicationDescriptor using one of existing descriptors and define new icon for this new descriptor.

See BlackBerry_Application_Developer_Guide_Volume_2, chapter "Managing applications"

[dennis_boerger]

don't I have two application icons then? Or will the new descriptor override the old application?

[bdowling]

Have a look at the document :)

You can get the application descriptor for the current application (your one - the one that is running) and set the icon.

BlackBerry.com has an article on listening for pushed data here: BlackBerry (http://www.blackberry.com/developers/developerlabs/listeningfordata.shtml)

I used the applicationmanager. They probelm is when you use the ApplicationManager, that a code signing by RIM is requiered!!

if you're going to develop seriously for bb then you're going to have to register for codesigning.
