Solution

  • The problem has to do with rendering issue in simulator. I've been through this when developing a map based app. Map would not render and would show green field.

    This is the official response I got from RIM when contacted with the issue:

    Simulator - Blackberry Maps Green Background Issue

    Resolution: Advised customer that BlackBerry Maps functionality has been inconsistent on device simulators. The best method of conducting this testing would be to test on a physical device.

    After trying all possible solutions, I gave up. Note that the issue doesn't occur on all systems. If you have access to any other system, try on it. May be you get lucky.
