Install a test app on BlackBerry

How do I install a test app developed using Eclipse on a BlackBerry?

Solution

  • If you using Eclipse for BB development, you must use Plugin for Eclipse and BB simulator. In this way you just build your application and run/debug it from IDE. IDE automatically run simulator and deploy your cod to simulator.

    In other cases, there are 3 ways to run your *.cod application on BB device:

    1. Using javaloader
    2. Using DesktopManager
    3. Directly from simulator (only for simulator!). File\Load Java Application\Choose your cod, and your application appears in Downloads directory.
    4. Using OTA (Over-The-Air) installation(for web-installation).

    Note, that if you use for, example, Crypto API or Persistent storage API, before install your application on real device, you must sign it with SignatureTool.
