With every bit of
technology going mobile, it’s no news that your handheld devices
are now being enriched with apps that can support them. You will see
that developers are striving hard to develop applications that run on
every platform and OS.
Blackberry, the business
phone platform, had once been “the phone” that marked the elite.
With time, this platform shared its success with the likes of iOS and
Android. While developers are pretty comfortable creating apps and
developing them for iOS and Android, you would find there being
limitations in the number of gaming and other apps in Blackberry.
Well, there is reason to
that! Blackberry is an out and out business phone and has been
serving the purpose of keeping businesses connected since time and
age.

Blackberry
Development Environment
Let’s take you through
how typical Blackberry Application Development scenarios look like.
Blackberry apps are generally programmed using Java with debuggers
integrated in IDE. Eclipse is the IDE used in Blackberry and you
would find that developers are supported with Emulator in this
environment. The RIM application programming interface within
Blackberry does not allow any sort of third party interface. The best
part with Blackberry is that the developer tool cost for it is nil.
BlackBerry Coding
Approaches
When developing
applications using the Blackberry platforms a few things should be
taken care of to minimize any sort of code variations
- You should always select alternate string properties
- Try using multiple methods and make sure you use separate compilers while checking
- The library support is great in Blackberry, use it to increase functionality and to try out the various different implementations
- A preprocessor would help you target new API
A Blackberry patent app
cannot be used across platforms because of the patent associate diwth
the app.
