Development Task Flow

Describes the overall development task flow, and provides information and procedures for setting up the development environment, and developing device applications.

This diagram illustrates how you can develop a device application directly from mobile business objects (MBOs), using the Object API and custom device application coding. This is how you create device applications with sophisticated UI interaction, validation, business logic, and performance.

• Task Flow for BlackBerry JDE Development
  This describes a typical task flow for creating a device application using the BlackBerry JDE or the BlackBerry Java plug-in for Eclipse (eJDE).
• Configuring Your BlackBerry Development Environment
  This section describes how to set up your BlackBerry development environment, and provides the location of required JAR files and client object APIs.
• Using Object API to Develop a Device Application
  Generate object API code on which to build your application.
• Creating Projects and Importing Files into the BlackBerry Development Environment
  Set up the BlackBerry project, add required libraries, and import mobile business object (MBO) generated files. Use these procedures if you are developing a device application using the BlackBerry JDE or the BlackBerry Java plug-in for Eclipse.
• Developing, Debugging, and Customizing BlackBerry Applications
  Use the BlackBerry Client Object API, as well as native Research in Motion (RIM) APIs to create or customize your device applications.
