Unusable on Blackberry Curve 8330 #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install the JAD on a Blackberry Curve 8330
2. The application runs and displays the Profiles (Accounts) screen.
3. No button does anything.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected that pressing the menu button would let me choose an action.
Instead it displays "menu" and "preferences" at the bottom of the screen,
but there is no way to trigger them, since Blackberry does not use soft keys.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.3.2 on Blackberry Curve 8330 running v4.5.0.131 (Platform 3.4.0.25)

Please provide any additional information below.

seems to indicate that if you create Command objects they will get added to
the menu.

It appears you can download Blackberry simulators at

Basically blackberry devices don't have the same softkeys (OK/CANCEL buttons) as
other phones. One solution I can recommend is to map the left softkey to the Q 
(most
QWERTY bb's) or QW (QWERTY bb pearl models) buttons, and the right softkey to 
the P
and OP buttons, or let the user choose custom keys to substitute those softkeys 
like
lampiro does (http://code.google.com/p/lampiro/)

Verified the same problem on BB Bold 9000 - I have a new test device! :-)

I will attempt to solve this, but have to sync my Eclipse up to the latest 
repository version first.
