Setting up applications for the BlackBerry device

This describes how to set up applications to be accessible on the BlackBerry device, in offline mode and online mode.

Setting up applications for BlackBerry (offline mode)

1. In Mobile Web Studio, select Applications from the Build menu in the left pane, select Approved under Application Manager, and select the CurrencyTable application you created in “Creating a basic application”.

2. Click Edit.

3. In the Application Builder, select Properties. The Properties Editor displays.

4. In Properties Editor, click the Mobile tab, and select “Offline BlackBerry,” which makes this application viewable on a BlackBerry device during synchronization.

   Select “Offline BlackBerry” only for the master application, not its linked applications.

5. Click OK and save the application.

6. In the Application Builder, click Preview. The CurrencyTable application displays in the Preview panel.

7. Click Close to exit Application Builder.

8. On the Mobile Web Studio window, there is now a check mark for the application in the Offline column. This column shows whether an application has been activated for BlackBerry offline.

   To try out the application on your BlackBerry device or simulator, see “Retrieving applications on the BlackBerry device”.
