Meeting Ball In depth issue analysis
Introduction • Issues surrounding Palm client • David Hall
Palm Client • OBEX • Metrowerks IDE • Palm Platform
OBEX • Connectionless file sharing via IrDA • Main use is OBEX “Get” or “Put” • Our needs: • Get directory/file list • Get desired file • Problem? No “Get” on Palm! • But: “Put” implemented nicely
Solution • Series of OBEX file “Puts” • Files contain “commands” File specifying directory contents or file to get Palm “Put” Palm Meeting Ball MB “Put” File specifying contents of new directory
Metrowerks IDE • IDE messes up • Constructor? • Mis-implemented API’s? • Example: • Add a Field, set visible attrib • Call FldSetTextPtr/FldDrawField • Result: nothing!
Palm Platform • Event based if (! SysHandleEvent()) if (! MenuHandleEvent(&event)) if (! AppHandleEvent(&event) FrmDispatchEvent(&event); • Example: Wasn’t exiting loop, hosed two palms!
Summary of Issues • OBEX • Metrowerks IDE • Palm Platform Development
