yes, im aware of this. It was commin out in the previous build also. No idea why the blackberry is throwing that exception and the internet hasn't much details on it.

Great app Damo cheers, any chance of a link to the php code so we can up it to our own server and try out that new enter url feature.

Ah ok. Didnt realise you came across it already. As you said, Google throws up lots of incidents but no real solutions

yes i'll post it later today, as im new to php, im not sure what php environment you'll need to run the script, I know your php setup will need to allow remote urls to be read, some setup's have this disabled due to remote file include abuse.

h57xiucj2z946q

new jar up if anyone wants to try the "check ffor update" feature..

you'll need to have 0.21 installed first before you do this.. if you dont, then don't bother you can load the jar manually. 0.22 is latest now.

whisht, I have been in discussions with BlackBerry developers, look here: http://www.blackberry.com/developers/forum/thread.jsp?forum=1&thread=13272&start=0&msRange=15
the problem might be resolved soon.

no problem, it was my friend who has the other BlackBerry, I dont have one, which makes testing more difficult.

good to hear,

yeah installing midlets on S60v3 seems to be little dodgy, I do get the same on my N73 sometimes when installing midlets. Doesn't happen with SIS/SISX apps tho.

If anyone hosts the parser on their server, can they share the url here please?)

If you get- Error: HTTP Response: 404, (means my free hosting has temporarly gone down) you can use an alternative parser at http://www.mamak.eu/irlcg/irlcg.php
Enter this in Settings in the application under Parser/Other thx to mart_max

Having done some testing with Damo2k, this is now working fine on my Blackberry, so if anybody else was having issues, try the latest version which is 0.25beta

http://www.hostj2me.com/downloads/1062/5429/IRLCinemaGuide.jar
http://www.hostj2me.com/downloads/1062/5429/IRLCinemaGuide.jad

There is a 2nd new parser url also if the default one times out

Thanks for this damo2k

Works on Blackberry now.

Blackberry Developer support say:

"Resolution:
There was an issue in earlier versions of device software where invoking ChoiceGroup.append() after ChoiceGroup.deleteAll() on a ChoiceGroup that is on a Screen throws IllegalStateException. This issue was resolved in 4.3.0."

I have coded a workaround so people with OS below 4.3.0 (eg 4.2.2.146) should no longer have problems.

Hi Damo,

We have received a request from Entertainment.ie to remove IRL Cinema Guide. Entertainment.ie alleges that the application accesses and displays copyrighted information from their site without proper authorization.



If you believe that this allegation is in error, please let us know and provide us with any explanatory information within 72hrs that will help us resolve this issue. Although we truly appreciate you as HostJ2ME member and admire the development talent that you showcase, for liability reasons, we may be forced to remove the Cinema Guide application.

Thanks,

thats a pity, was a real useful app when it lasted.

h57xiucj2z946q

complaints can be sent to info@entertainment.ie

Sam Vimes

you could get the info from here instead:

http://m.rte.ie/entertainment/cinema/index.html

entertainment.ie can't complain about that can they?

h57xiucj2z946q

thats a god idea, it'll just involve changing the parser a bit.

Very sour of them to complain in my opinion. The about box in my tool clearly stated where it gets the info from.

Wonder to they mind that people using Internet Explorer or Firefox are accessing their copyrighted info

ah but those people have to look at the ads on their site. i can see why they would want it blocked but i wouldn't do it if i was them. someone using your program when out and about would probably go to entertainment.ie when at a computer, simply because they saw the site on your program

personally, i didn't even know entertainment.ie did cinema listings until your program came out. i just always went to the cinema's own site. your program was free advertising for them

h57xiucj2z946q

I thought that too, I have emailed entertainment.ie about it as they havent contacted me directly. They contacted HostJ2me about it.

let them know that the information can be got from any number of sources so the program will go on with or without the free ad for their site in it. they should be paying you tbh

they know his website's ip and they'd be able to see all the requests coming from it so he can't pretend he's not doing it unfortunately
