Getting Started…

1. Request a set of BlackBerry 10 signature keys from https://www.BlackBerry.com/SignedKeys

• Two *.CSJ file attachments will be emailed within 30 minutes, which are to be added into the IDE in step 3 below

2. If necessary, download device simulators from https://developer.blackberry.com/android/tools/

3. Install the BlackBerry plug-in for ADT within your IDE (i.e., ADT plug-in for eclipse), by selecting Help → Add New Software → Add and provide the URL http://developer.blackberry.com/android/downloads/eclipseplugin/

4. Set up your environment by selecting Window → Preferences → BlackBerry → Expand BlackBerry Tools SDK → Bar Signer → BlackBerry Deployment Setup Wizard

Dalvik VM

developer.blackberry.com/android

Getting Started…

After setting up the environment, use of the plug-in is very straightforward as it uses all of the standard operations within eclipse that Android developers would use such as adb, ddms, jdwp, logcat, etc. The following steps will allow you to check your app for compatibility, repackage, and sign your application:

1. Add the BlackBerry perspective to your Android project • Right-click on the project and select BlackBerry Tools → Add BlackBerry Nature to Project

2. Verify the compatibility of your app • Right-click on the project and select BlackBerry Tools → Verify APK • Within the <project>/bin project folder, open the <project>.WRN file and view the results

Level 1 and 2 errors are usually negligible, but these features should be tested Level 3 errors require supported workarounds for Google Maps, Push and IAP Level 4 and 5 errors are fatal and will cause the app to crash

3. If necessary, make the required code changes while running/debugging the application 1. Right-click on the project and select Run As → BlackBerry Android Launch 2. Right-click on the project and select Debug As → BlackBerry Android Launch

4. Package the application into the BAR file format and sign the app 1. Right-click on the project and select BlackBerry Tools → Sign for BlackBerry World 2. The signed BAR file will be located in the <project>/dist/Android 2.3.3 project folder
