Hi Everyone,

I get the message that I'm trying to access a secure API when using this import: net.rim.device.api.system.Bitmap.

Question: why? Why do I need to sign my code just to display a bitmap downloaded from a URL? It's the same if I use net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage.

I'm just looking for a reason why I need to pay $100.00 to display a bitmap, or a work-around.

Ha ha Simon. I've been a developer for almost 15 years, new to Blackberry but not to Java. I'm a .NET developer foremost, but do like the fact that Java, and related open source tools are free.

It's no wonder there are a handfull of Blackberry apps. It's not that the Blackberry isn't popular. It's the lack of developer support, which leads me to my next question, but in a different topic because it's not related.
