Adding Blackberry Support

Peter Presnell  |     |  Tags:  blackberry .dominoframework  |  Comments (0)
Earlier this week I started work on my first project in which I need to specifically design a Notes application to support  Blackberry Devices.  To assist me with this I have started to extend the capabilities of the .Domino Framework.

The DominoWebSession class now has two additional properties DeviceType and DeviceModel.  DeviceType will return "Blackberry" when the document is being loaded from a Blackberry Device (Later I expect to add other PDA devices such as iPhone).  This property works by looking for the text "Blackberry" in the CGI variable HTTP_User_Agent.  The DeviceModel property will pass back the specific Blackberry model.  This property can potentially be used to identify the resolution and capabilities of the Blackberry device.
I have also added a CGI\PDA subform that adds fields for these two properties to the standard CGI variables often passed with Web pages.
I will also be adding general Blackberry specific development stuff to the knowledge base of the .Domino Framework wiki.  This includes the following table of screen resolutions (I couldn't find a resource where this is documented).

Model Name Resolution
9500 Thunder 360 x 480
9000 Bold 480 x 320
8800
320 x 240
8700
320 x 240
8300 Curve 320 x 240
8100 Pearl 240 x 260
7200
240 x 160
7100
240 x 260
