Hi, thanks for using our library.

My best guess is that you are not compiling with touch support. Our library support Blackberry OS 4.6+, and such old versions did not support touch events (which where added in 4.7.0).

To support both flavors, our library uses conditional compilation. In particular, we use the variable TouchEnabled to include / filter touch-related code, as can be seen here. Without that definition, touch will be disabled.

You can read more about the preprocessor and how to configure such directives to include / exclude pieces of code here

Please let me know if this solves this issue, so I can close it and add proper clarifications to the README.

hi, when i double tap on the pin(blackberry 9850 touch device), then only its getting focus. after that i have to click the trackball. then it will show the details of the pin. when i click the tap on the pin, nothing is happening.

Can you please confirm you have set the TouchEnabled definition for the preprocessor?

[rincethomas33]

yes . its added.
//#ifdef TouchEnabled
import net.rim.device.api.ui.TouchEvent;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.TouchGesture;
//#endif

That's on the code, but you need to define it on the project properties:

Just as JDE_4_7_0 is defined there, you need to define TouchEnabled

[rincethomas33]

when i check the project properties, its showing like below.

there is no compile tab.

[jsotuyod]

What's on your application's descriptor?

[rincethomas33]

there are 3 tabs on my application's descriptor

[jsotuyod]

Right there on the first one. Bottom left it says "Preprocessor Directives", click on "Add...", add TouchEnabled and make sure it's checked as Active.

[rincethomas33]

ok. thanks dear friend........ its working now. Thanks a ton........

[rincethomas33]

in your post mention this too. so it will be helpful to all developers.

[jsotuyod]

Glad it worked, I'll make sure to update the docs and README with this info.

[rincethomas33]

one more doubt- if i am using non touch devices, then how user will know which one gets focus ?

[jsotuyod]

The CustomMap constructor takes a Bitmap as a parameter, which is meant to be used as a crosshair to show trackpad-based devices where they would be clicking.

In this example we are using a blue round crosshair. The crosshair is always in the middle of the map. When you move the trackpad, the map moves around. Once you place the crosshair over a marker, you can click to open it.

[rincethomas33]

map is not scrolling on non touch devices. when i scroll the trackball, its not moving.

[jsotuyod]

It won't by default, check the example I talked about before. The code to have it scroll is in there.

[rincethomas33]

i added the code of key down and repeat. still its not scrolling. i have to add anything else?. zoom in and zoom out is working(using keys "o" and "i")

[jsotuyod]

No, nothing else should be needed... make sure the MapField ha focus and it should scroll...

[rincethomas33]

its like something is holding map back :P still its not scrolling

[rincethomas33]
