Can someone please tell me options for following methods in JDE 4.0 as these are introduced in 4.2?

HomeScreen.updateIcon(bitMap);
NotificationsManager.hideSource(long);

Please help
Thank you

This should be in the developer forum.

You will have to use a JDE greater than 4.2 to use features introduce in 4.2.

sorry for posting at wrong place. can you tell me how to move this thread?

Thing is I want to make my build compatible with devices having 4.0 is there any work around for these APIs in 4.0?

Thanks

Specifically, HomeScreen was included in 4.1, so you are out of luck on 4.0 devices. hideSource was in 4.2 so that would also be a no.

Sometimes, one is able to write code that implements the same function as something provided in a later API, but when it comes to manipulating the state of RIM applications this is rarely the case.

Ohhhh... that means I will have to do without these features on my 4.0 build. Thank you very much for response.

Yup, much as I said in my first response.
