Dear Forum,

I have a problem using Invoke.invokeApplication in an application in a JDE 4.2.1 environment. My invocation aims at opening a new calendar item.

The following simple code is executed:

import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.CalendarArguments;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.Invoke;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;


public class OpenNewCalendarItem extends UiApplication {
	public static void main(String[] args)	{
		new OpenNewCalendarItem().enterEventDispatcher();
		System.exit(0);
	} 

	public OpenNewCalendarItem() {
		super();
		Invoke.invokeApplication( Invoke.APP_TYPE_CALENDAR, new CalendarArguments( CalendarArguments.ARG_NEW ));
	}
}

The new agenda item is correctly opened BUT after this opening, it is impossible for the end-user to exit the calendar application: it seems that the device (and simulator) has crashed.

Is it a defect? Is there a workaround?

Thank you again for your precious support,

Mikaël Donini.

Mikael,

You are invoking the calendar application prior to entering the event dispatcher. Try placing the invoke in your UiApplication.activate() method.

Thank you Doug for your answer!!

My issue is happening because UiApplication is being extend when no UI items are added to the application. Extending Application instead solves the problem.
