Display Simple Web Page In My Application Using Blackberry BrowserField
- by ankit
Hello All,
What I am trying to do is display a simple web page in my application (no javascript,cookies or any scripting and not trying to detect any events such as mouse click etc.).
I am using the code below and right now all I get is empty screen .. I know that the application is accessing the internet (the data transfer arrow flashes in the top right corner) but not sure why its not rendering.
The code I am using is :
HttpConnectionFactory factory = new HttpConnectionFactory("www.google.ca",HttpConnectionFactory.TRANSPORT_WIFI | HttpConnectionFactory.TRANSPORT_WAP2 | HttpConnectionFactory.TRANSPORT_DIRECT_TCP);
while(true)
{
try
{
HttpConnection connection = factory.getNextConnection();
try
{
BrowserContent bc = RenderingSession.getNewInstance().getBrowserContent(connection,null,0);
Field f = bc.getDisplayableContent();
add(f);
}
catch(RenderingException e)
{
//Log the error or store it for displaying to
//the end user if no transports succeed
System.out.println("error with rendering page");
}
}
catch(NoMoreTransportsException e)
{
//There are no more transports to attempt
//Dialog.alert( "Unable to perform request" ); //Note you should never
//attempt network activity on the event thread
System.out.println("no more transport");
break;
}
}
Some points to note:
Im using the http-connection-factory class from www.versatilemonkey.com only becuase they have impelemented the abstract httpConnection class. If someone can also point me on how to implement my own that would be great.
I am using '0' for the flags for getBrowserContent function. I looked through the rimn documentation and could not find an explanation for them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ankit
