My BBMID for my DevAlpha is CMY2 and the PIN is 29D9370E.
This is an AIR Native Extension (ANE) to allow BlackBerry 10 AIR apps access to the BBM Social Platform (BBMSP). This repository contains all of the needed files including a pre-built copy of the ANE, and the source (if you want to adjust or tinker with it). There are three applications included in the bundle. There is a c/c++ library that contains the native code (bbmsp-ane), the corresponding AIR library (BBM-ane), and a test application to show how the features work (BBM_ANE_Test). Only the two library files are needed to gain access to the BBMSP; just import them into your workspace and add the references to your project(s). To simplify things, each file in the AIR library is matched to a file of the same name in the c/c++ library with corresponding matching functions.
- Registering with the BBMSP
- Sending download invites for your application
- Updating user profile (picture, status, status message)
- Updating user profile box
- Sending messages - Messages can be sent in two ways:
- You can open a chat with a contact if you know the contacts PIN by using the (BBMAne).bbmInvoke.startChat(pin) function. If the pin is not a contact or left blank then the invite screen is displayed. (Currently not useable as the function to lookup contacts is not complete. Also this can only be used to start a chart with users who also have your app installed.)
- You can share a message and choose the contact using the contact picker by using the (BBMAne).bbmInvoke.sendMessage(message) function.
- Sending images
- User contacts (in progress)
Each time you start your application you need to register with your uuid. The ANE checks this value and uses it to start the other needed threads. Once you register, the user profile and profile box items are automatically loaded if your application has access to those features. When loading images, the ANE loads an original sized copy of the image as well as a smaller copy which is used for profile/profile box images. The profile and profile box image functions have the word profile in them. Because of the way the listeners are dispatched from the ANE, each one of the custom listeners recieves each event. So if you change the code or add your own custom listener, keep this in mind. Also with the way the callbacks are used, each listener gets a copy of each registered event; so you will need to track which image id is returned so that you know which image to update, if you are displaying more than one image at a time (ie. in the sample app when the profile card is displayed, both the main view and the profile card receive notice that the image was loaded. So if you only want to update the profile card, you will need to track the image id that is returned after you load the image so that you only update the profile card when you recieve notice that that id was retrieved).
The status button has no purpose as the view was changed to update automatically. You will need to click the register button first before doing anything else. Once you have registered, you can click any of the buttons in any order. When viewing the profile, if you make any changes to the text or status, it will prompt you to accept the changes and WILL ACTUALLY CHANGE your BBM profile. When adding a profile box item, move the slider under the icon to use and add the text (and cookie if desired) and select ok. Note that you are not prompted to accept changes to the profile box.
