Chapter 9: Deploying Applications to BlackBerry Devices

Using drill-down applications on the BlackBerry device

This section describes how to use drill-down applications (also known as server-side, click-across applications) on a BlackBerry device.

Using drill-down applications on BlackBerry

In Mobile Web Studio, select Applications from the Build menu in the left pane, select Approved under Application Manager, and select an existing application to make available on the BlackBerry device. This example uses the SSCA Master application created in “Multipage mobile application tutorial”.
In Mobile Web Studio, set the SSCA Master application to be “Mobile offline” as described in “Setting up applications for the BlackBerry device”.
On the BlackBerry device, sync the application as described in “Retrieving applications on the BlackBerry device”.
Select a record, and select “Click Thru” on the trackwheel menu. (If an application does not show the Click Thru menu option, it was not created as a server-side click-across application).

The list view displays the first available link on the application. A bread crumb trail displays at the top of the grid.

You can also perform a “Click Thru” from the detail view of a grid row. This displays as an underline text.
