Display Simple HTML in a Native Blackberry Application

Display simple HTML in a native BlackBerry application

Make sure that you launch the MDS simulator before launching the device simulator. All or most of the samples that use HTTP don't specify a transport and so will use the default MDS transport, which means if you don't have MDS simulator running then it won't be able to make an HTTP connection.

How to show html text in BlackBerry?

You can use a BrowserField to render content in your application as a Field. In order to render HTML provided as a String rather than a URL, see this answer which involves mocking an HttpConnection.

Displaying HTML content in a Field in blackberry

You can just eval the JSON response, though for better security adding JSON parsing support is fairly simple, try the json2.js library. Then just use normal JS notation to extract your HTML string and insert it into your text field.

Note that:

1. The Blackberry browser didn't support XMLHttpRequest until 4.6, for example the Curve 8310 does not support it.
2. Javascript is not enabled by default on the Blackberry browser, if you have corporate setup you can enable it through an MDS policy rule
3. If you've got the above two covered, be careful with Javascript libraries as you can easily exhaust the device memory simply interpreting them (with less than 300k of JS IMX)

Field field = browserContent.getDisplayableContent();

See:

JDE 4.0.0 API for the package

RIM app integration guide

Signed only api, as usual.

    { 
        switch(cs[i]) 
        {
        case '<': 
                if ( ! tag) 
            { 
            tag = true;
            break;
            }
        case '>': 
            if (tag) 
            {
            tag = false;
            break; 
            }
        break;
        case '&':
            if ( ! tag) 
            { 
            tag = true;
            break;
            }
        case ';': 
            if (tag) 
            {
            tag = false;
            break; 
            }
        break;
        default:
            if ( ! tag) sb.append(cs[i]); 
        }
    }
    return sb.toString(); 
}

This will surely help you
