hmm, I have never even looked at it. Didn't think anyone actually still used a BB :)

Curt might be able to do something using the Android app and https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/

I'll take a look at that and see what all is involved. We "might" be able to get a BB app for use as well.

I'm not against Blackberry or anything. I actually like the keyboard. I can never get used to typing on the touch screen. That's why my Android has a slide out keyboard :)
But I always wondered which enterprise services that would make such difference...
I do have push mails on an exchange server. Most of the time I get email notifications on my phone prior to getting any on my desktop.

I just tested things out on the Playbook simulator and it's not working well at all. When the app started up, it changed the screen orientation and I could hardly use it. Once I configured the app settings, when I start up the app, it flashes the screen a lot and hides the display. I had to force it into landscape orientation for it to actually somewhat work. I was able to query my controller but it was "painful" to watch. After I queried it, the refresh button and status bar decided to hide and then flash. I'm not sure what all is going on with it truthfully. I may play around with it later and test other apps out, but I cannot promise anything.

Screen orientation is normal with playbook it tend to migrate from vertical to horizontal orientation depending upon the type of application. Many applications of Ipad are successfully working on my playbook may be I-phone & tablet are 2 different things.Try it on latest OS 2.0 version. Right now i am also accessing this site thru my playbook only.

Honestly I have not had a chance to look into it lately. I haven't been in front of my computer much in the last week. It is on my TODO list, but finding the time lately for all my projects and working 50+ hours a week as a doctor kinda limits my time.

The source for the Android app is available on your github correct? So theoretically anyone should be able download it and load it into the Blackberry SDK and work on it from there?


Any volunteers?

Just for an info. A newest version of Blackberry Os has been launched by Rim For playbook which enables many applications of android to be used on it.

Time to dust off this thread. :) Well, RIM is no longer around but BlackBerry is here to stay. For anyone with or migrating to a BB10 device I will be writing a native Cascades application shortly. I cannot commit to a date but I have run BlackBerry exclusively for the over a decade now, switching to BB10 before most, and I promise I will bring this app to BlackBerry World!

That's great!

Feel free to use my Android App as a guideline for communicating with the controller and portal. :)

Thanks Curt. Are you open source (not terribly familiar with your app or android)? I can digest code about an order of magnitude faster than documentation ;)

yep, certainly am. the android app is written in Java. the source is available in my github account.
