BlackBerry devices and applications are selling by the millions. As
a BlackBerry developer, you need an advanced skill set to
successfully exploit the most compelling features of the platform.
This book will help you develop that skill set and teach you how to
create the most sophisticated BlackBerry programs possible. With
Advanced BlackBerry 6 Development, you ll get a comprehensive look
at the new features included with SDK 6, including the new web and
widgets SDK, the new web browser, and more. You ll also learn how
to take advantage of new BlackBerry media capabilities such as the
camera and video playback. The book also shows you how to send and
receive text and multimedia messages, use powerful cryptography
libraries, and connect with the user s personal and business
contacts and calendar. Not only will you be learning how to use
these APIs, but you ll also be building a program that takes full
advantage of them: a wireless media-sharing app. Each chapter s
lessons will be applied by enhancing the app from a prototype to a
fully polished program.Along the way, you'll learn how to
differentiate your product from other downloads by fully
integrating with the new BlackBerry 6 operating system. Your app
will run in the browser and within device menus, just like software
that comes with the phone. You will even learn BlackBerry's new Web
browser features, Web standards-based App SDK, and more. Once you
are comfortable with writing apps, this book will show you how to
take them to the next level. You ll learn how to move from running
on one phone to running on all phones, and from one country to all
countries. You ll additionally learn how to support your users with
updates. No other resource compares for mastering the techniques
needed for expert development on this mobile platform.What you ll
learn * How to write sophisticated BlackBerry applications * All

native app * When to leverage advanced JSRs for cryptography, media
