hi,
i tried to create a simple thread which updates every 5 seconds the status auf the batterie.
now I have this little piece of code:

TimerTask worker = new TimerTask();
        worker.run();
/*
...
*/
final class TimerTask extends Thread  {
       LabelField label1 = new LabelField("Batteriestand: wird ermittelt...");
       public TimerTask()
        {      
        }
        public void run() {
            add(label1);
            int temp = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
            String a;
            a = "" + temp;
            this.label1.setText("Batteriestand: "+a);
            while(true) {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
                     int temp2 = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
                     String b;
                     b = "" + temp2;
                     System.out.println("Batteriestand: "+b);
                     this.label1.setText("Batteriestand: "+b);
                } catch( InterruptedException e ) {
                    System.out.println(e.toString());
                    System.err.println(e.toString());
                }
             }
        }
    }

i know it isn't the perfect code, but i'm still a beginner ;)
when I try this little "program" on the simulator it works fine, but when I try this one on my BlackBerry I get an error-message by the debugger:

Uncaught exception thrown - Cannot determine object class. Missing debug information.

when I comment the line this.label1.setText("Batteriestand: "+b); then the debugger does not throw out an error.

so how can I update the LabelField Text without an exception error?

You don't post exception itself, but it looks like you try to modify UI not in UI-event thread. Wrap your code in anonymous Runnable class and use Application.invokeLater() or Application.invokeAndWait() methods:

_application.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
    public void run()
    {
        label1.setText("Batteriestand: "+a);
    }
});

hi,
thanks for the reply. The BB doesn't show an Exception, i can read it just in the Debugger ( Uncaught exception thrown - Cannot determine object class. Missing debug information.)

ok now i have a new problem:
where do i have to put the invokeLater? and what should i use instead of _application?

final class TimerTask extends Thread  {
       LabelField label1 = new LabelField("Batteriestand: wird ermittelt...");
       public TimerTask()
        {
        
        }
        public void setText(String text) {
                      LabelField label1 = this.label1;
                      label1.setText(text);
                    }
        public void run() {
            add(label1);
            int temp = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
            String a;
            a = "" + temp;
            this.label1.setText("Batteriestand: "+a);
            while(true) {
                try {
                    sleep(5000);
                     
                } catch( InterruptedException e ) {
                invokeLater(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                label1.setText("Batteriestand: "+System.currentTimeMillis());
                }
                });
                    System.out.println(e.toString());
                    System.err.println(e.toString());
                }
                System.out.println(DeviceInfo.getDeviceName()+" Meldet sich:");
                
                int temp2 = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
                String b;
                b = "Batteriestand ("+System.currentTimeMillis()+"): "+temp2;
                System.out.println(b);
              // just refresh the LabelField on the BB 7230, because there it works ;)
                // aktualisierung nur bei BB 7230 !!
                String model;
                model = DeviceInfo.getDeviceName();
                if (model.equalsIgnoreCase("7230")){
                    System.out.println("Aktualisiere Ausgabe... ("+DeviceInfo.getDeviceName()+")");
                    setText(b);
                    setText2(txt);
                    this.label3.setText(dater);
                }
             }
            
        }
    }
