Overview 1

The BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment is a Java® development environment for creating applications for

BlackBerry® devices. You can use MIDP APIs, CLDC APIs to build a Java® Platform Micro Edition application or use the BlackBerry

APIs to create a custom application that uses the features a BlackBerry device. These features include GPS and location-based

services, multimedia, calendar and email access, a customizable UI, and interaction with a trackwheel or touch screen. You can

also create an application that interacts with the components of the BlackBerry solution including the BlackBerry® Enterprise

Server, push email, BlackBerry® Device Software applications, and server-side resources.

The BlackBerry JDE includes a suite of tools for creating, testing, packaging, and distributing applications. These tools include a

BlackBerry® Smartphone Simulator, a code signing tool for using protected APIs, support for communication protocols, and

Screen and UI

Enhancements to the BlackBerry® Screen and UI APIs let you create a BlackBerry device application that works with the new UI

features of the BlackBerry® Storm smartphone. These features include a clickable touch screen, a touch screen keyboard, an

accelerometer for sensing the orientation and acceleration of the BlackBerry device, and the ability to allow or prevent the

BlackBerry device from changing the display direction of the screen.

Touch screen user input

The BlackBerry® UI APIs now let a BlackBerry device application receive events when a BlackBerry device user touches the screen

of the BlackBerry® Storm smartphone.

A BlackBerry device application can use the net.rim.device.api.ui.TouchEvent class and the

net.rim.device.api.ui.TouchGesture class to receive and respond when a BlackBerry device user performs an

action, like a tap, click, or swipe, on the device screen.

AtoucheventcorrespondstoanactionaBlackBerryuserperformsonthetouchscreensuchasaclick.Atouchgesturecorresponds

to a combination of touch events that a BlackBerry user generates when they touch the touch screen such as a slide across the

screen.

A MIDlet can extend the net.rim.device.api.lcdui.BlackBerryCanvas class, the

net.rim.device.api.lcdui.game.BlackBerryGameCanvas class, the

net.rim.device.api.lcdui.BlackBerryCustomItem class, or the pointer methods in the

javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas classtoreceiveandrespondwhenaBlackBerrydeviceuser performs an action

on the device screen.

Touch screen keyboard

The BlackBerry® UI APIs now let a BlackBerry device application interact with the touch screen keyboard.

A BlackBerry device application can use the net.rim.device.api.ui.Screen. getVirtualKeyboard()

method to access the touch screen keyboard for the current application screen.

A BlackBerry device application can use the setVisibility(int) method of the

net.rim.device.api.ui .VirtualKeyboard class to display or hide the touch screen keyboard.

Feature and Technical Overview New in this release

Accelerometer

The BlackBerry® Storm device includes an acclerometer that senses the orientation and acceleration of the device. When a

BlackBerry device user moves the device, the accelerometer senses the movement in 3-D space along the x, y, and z axis. A

BlackBerrydeviceuser can change theorientationof the device whichcanchange the display directionofa screen for aBlackBerry

device application between portrait and landscape.

The Accelerometer APIs in the net.rim.device.api.system package let a BlackBerry device application respond to

the orientation and acceleration of a BlackBerry device. For example, you can manipulate a game application to change the

direction and speed of a moving object on the screen as a BlackBerry device user moves and rotates the BlackBerry device at

different speeds.

Screen display direction

When the orientation of the BlackBerry® Storm device changes, the display direction of the screen of a BlackBerry device

application can also change. The display direction refers to the top of the drawing area of the screen relative to the location of

the BlackBerry logo on the BlackBerry device. The display direction of an application screen can be north, south, east, west,

landscape, or portrait.

The BlackBerry® UI APIs now let a BlackBerry device application retrieve the display direction of the screen and prevent a

BlackBerry device from changing the display direction of the screen.

A BlackBerry device application can use the net.rim.device.api.system.Display.getOrientation()

method to retrieve the display direction of the screen. A BlackBerry device application can use

the net.rim.device.api.ui.UiEngineInstance .setAcceptableDirections(int) method to

set the screen to only display in certain directions when a BlackBerry device user changes the orientation of the BlackBerry Storm

device. For example, an application that displays a document could set the screen to always display in landscape mode.

Home screen background image

The BlackBerry® UI APIs now let a BlackBerry device application set the image that appears as the background of the Home

screen on a BlackBerry device.

A BlackBerry device application can use net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.

setBackgroundImage(String uri) with an image file that resides in flash memory or a microSD Card to set the

background image. A typical format for the URI is "file:///store/home/user/pictures/file.jpg." Invoking

net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen. setBackgroundImage(String uri) will

override images that other applications have set.

Feature and Technical Overview Screen and UI

Multimedia

Enhancements to the BlackBerry® APIs let you create a BlackBerry device application that can receive image files and video files

from the camera application, video recorder application, and the file explorer. You can also create a BlackBerry device application

that can launch the video recorder application and record video.

Image and video handling

The BlackBerry® APIs now add menu items to the camera application and video recorder that let a BlackBerry device user send

media files to a BlackBerry device application.

A BlackBerry device application uses the javax.microedition.content.ContentHandler API to register as

a content handler. After registration, when a BlackBerry device user takes a picture or records a video, menu items appear in the

camera application, the video recorder, and the file explorer. A BlackBerry device user can use the menu items to send an image

file or video file to the BlackBerry device application.

Video recorder integration

The BlackBerry® APIs now let a BlackBerry device application start the video recorder application.

A BlackBerry device application can use the net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.Invoke.APP_

TYPE_CAMERA field and the net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke. CameraArguments.

ARG_VIDEO_RECORDER field as arguments to the net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.

Invoke.invokeApplication method to invoke the video recorder in the camera application and record video.

Digital rights management

The BlackBerry® APIs now let a BlackBerry device application install and use digital rights management licenses for media on a

BlackBerry device.

ABlackBerry device application can usethe net.rim.device.api.drm.DRMManager class tolet a BlackBerrydevice

user play media protected by digital rights management technology on a BlackBerry device.

Each BlackBerry device has one net.rim.device.api.drm.DRMManager and applies the least restrictive license

to media.
