hello,

i have developed a j2me application, and i'm trying to execute it in a BlackBerry pearl 8100. The application run ok in the blackberry but i have calls to Midlet.platformRequest(url) in the code and don't run in the blackberry. This calls are made from an Thread. Doing probes i see that if i call platformRequest directly the call runs ok, but if i do the call from an thread not. Because is this? is possible call platformRequest from an thread? i need do this.

Thanks.

hi,

I do have the same problem:

A platformRequest works fine from the canvas.keypressed, but does not work from a thread.


I'm interested in all informations/suggestion relative to this problem.

thanks,

Loda


Extra Tech info:

"RuntimeException: pushModalScreen called by a non-event thread" thrown from the thread.

solution as explained here (getEventLock, invokeLater):
BlackBerry - BlackBerry | Wireless Handheld Devices, Software & Services from Research In Motion (RIM)
did not work

I found a "solution"...

1. in the thread,
- I push in a "queue" (in fact a var) the parameter of the request.
- I call a repaint of the active canvas

2. in the paint of each canvas, I pop the request

3. I process the request with

public void DoPlatformRequest(String rqt){

final String r = rqt; // for.run() methode

UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
platformRequest(r);
//We assume that BB Device don't need to close the Midlet in order to process a phone call / web browser.
} catch (Exception ex) {
TraceEx("DoPlatformRequest (" + r + ") fail. ",ex);
}}
});

}


its looks like having net.rim.device.api.system.Application.isEventDispa tchThread()==true is not enough to call the platform request.


I hope this helps.

Hi,

I just found this same problem when testing a midlet on a 8310. I moved my platformRequest call to a new thread hoping that it might solve a problem with the confirmation alerts on a SonyEricsson. LOL But this move made things brake on the blackberry. When I call platformRequest the device will pop up an alert asking the user if they wants to allow this (calling a phone number in my case) and this makes the underlying libs throw this exception.

This however is a bug in the blackberry MIDP implementation as the MIDP spec allows calling platform request from any thread, and as a matter of fact it allows UI operations outside of the event thread. The blackberry MIDP implementation should take care of all this.
