BlackBerry - How to show the system status bar on top of the application screen


My question is rather simple, but I couldn't find an answer, could be because I'm using the wrong terms, but let me try: is there a way for a BlackBerry application (extending the regular Screen component) to keep the status bar visible (by status bar, to clarify, I mean the area where you see the battery strength, network name, signal strength, etc.)?

thank you


Solution

  • There is as yet (in my experience up to OS version 4.6) no API exposed to do this, strange as that is. You may of course program your own status bar, as many applications do, if you feel it necessary. But you have to gather the information and display the status information with logic coded into your own program.
