GettingStarted on BlackBerry 8900 OS 5.0.0.681: buttons don't do anything

  • Updated 9 years ago
Created the GettingStarted demo app via the git url. Installed the jad on a BB via ota. App runs, shows the two buttons, but neither are clickable. Then tried a debug build but the weinre thing doesn't detect the BB when running the app ("no devices").

Does the current GettingStarted not run on BB OS 5? Can I build anything to run on OS 5?

Many thanks.

Hello Kirk,

It after taking a look on some devices we currently do not support Blackberry 5 devices through Build Debug; Blackberry 6 devices on the other hand should have no problem.

Also the problem with GettingStarted is related to touch events in the project, you should however have no problem building apps through PhoneGap build, however will not be able to use the debugging option at this time.

I have the same problem using the Training App and PhoneGap Build. I can install it on the blackberry curve V5 of the OS but the buttons do nothing. I see above you say build it using the phonegap api and Blackberry SDK. Any reason that it will not build correctly using the cloud build service.

The GettingStarted app requires a blackberry with touch events and build debug requires OS 6. You should still be able to build OS 5 however will not be able to use the debug feature.
