Default Open source BB development. - 12-30-2004, 06:59 PM

Is anyone interested in starting some open source blackberry development projects?

I am a budding blackberry programmer with an extensive background in C and VB. Just getting the whole Java syntax and operators worked out.

I think if we started a thread for ideas for some ideas for some practical programs, ie. nothing enterprise in size, we could really help people learn as well as get some of the software that we all want.

Let's get this party started and start building some apps to benefit the whole BB community.

As an afterthought, any BBF member with 2 posts per week on average or some other participation based criteria gets the app for free, everyone else can paypal $5 per app to and agreed upon charity or something. I know that I would be willing to pay $5 for pretty much any app that I would find useful to myself, and it might even get the site some exposure.

cd.

so what do we start with... get a list of people interested in joining a development team, get there strengths, weakness's and interests. Than try to build a list of possible apps to work on, figure out which is the best to start with and grow from there?

I don't have much experience with GUI development. I have done a little Java Swing and AWT. Haven't touched anything java since college (been a couple of years).

Isn't there a SDK. I think I read somewhere that it is not free.

RIM has what they call their JDE (Java Development Environment). It is available at no charge from :

http://www.blackberry.com/developers...ls/index.shtml

You will also need Sun's Java 2 SDK v1.4.

AR... I've made it that far, hopefully AuEng has as well... I have actually developed a few small hello world type things to play with the screen manager and menus so far... I am working on a simple mds push app right now...

Here's a quick question though can you make a bitmapfield selectable so as to use it as an icon to push another screen up when the user focus's on it and clicks the track wheel? Any example source code out there that you know of?

cd.

I checked out your link and I see under apps VNC - have you used it? I tried the VNC client from opensource but it just wouldnt work on my BB. The screen was all weird. Any info on the VNC you have before I download it and find out that it is the same one I tried previously.

It's the same and I haven't tried it yet. My workstations are behind multiple firewalls and I haven't made time to open up all of the necessary ports.
