Design units and asset selectors make it easier to create adaptable UIs. A design unit is a unit of length that scales assets for different device specifications. You can use asset selection based on screen layout or based on screen density to minimize your code.
To learn more, see Design units and Asset selection based on layout.

Future 10.3 devices have a new touch-sensitive area in addition to the standard touch screen. You can monitor events on the touch-sensitive area using the screen API, or the TouchKeyboardEvent and TouchKeyboardHandler classes.

Cascades UI framework

---

Action bar

The new action bar is more compact and available in a light and dark theme. The action bar offers a text label solution that works on all devices. When the virtual keyboard is invoked, the action bar follows the keyboard to remain visible.

Any image can now be colorized. If you want to override how the framework colorizes an action item image, you can specify a type of normal in the image's .amd file and the framework will use the default image. For more information, see Action item images.

Brand colors and visual styles

You can now change the primary color of your app from blue to a color that more closely matches your brand. This change affects the default visuals for many core controls.

You can specify the visual style of your app (bright, dark, or default) by using the Theme drop-down list on the Application tab of your bar-descriptor.xml file. If you are using API level 10.3 or later, you can also specify customized colors for your theme. To learn more, see Application tab.

Expandable view

An ExpandableView is a control that's used to display a portion of its contents in a fixed height, and the control can be expanded to display its full contents.

Grid layout

A grid layout is a new layout type that allows you to create complex layouts using less code. It uses cells to arrange components and a columncount property to specify columns in the layout.

Interactive list header

An interactive list header lets you create a Header control with a clickable button and subtitle. The button functions much like a standard Button control and can be used to invoke cards or can be connected to other objects using signals and slots. For more information, check out the Header API reference.

List rearrange

Lists now support rearrange mode, which allows users to rearrange items in a list by dragging items from one place to another. For more information, see Rearranging lists.

Signature action items

Signature action items allow you to draw attention to an especially important action and make it stand out more. The signature action item remains visible when the action bar scrolls away. You can apply a background color to a signature action item. For more information, see Signature action items.

Title bar

We’ve added a new TitleBar type called TextField that allows you to add a text field and action buttons to a TitleBar. This addition allows your users to enter text into the text field and use the title bar buttons to perform an action (for example, a search). For more information, see TitleBarKind.

Text input for an action item

We’ve added the ability to input text in an action item on an action bar. Users can enter text in a text field in an action item and submit their entry. For more information, see TextInputActionItem.

Web

The WebView class now provides all of the functionality you need to implement tabbed browsing. There is a new contextual action item for opening a link in a new tab. This new functionality allows the WebView to support pop-up WebView objects that communicate with the original WebView. The newViewRequested() and closeRequested() signals and the WebNewViewRequest class allow you to fine-tune the behavior of pop-ups or implement a tabbed browsing experience. The openLinkInNewTabAction property can be used to disable the "Open in new tab" contextual action item or change its icon or text to suit your implementation.

In some cases, you may want to prevent WebView from showing the virtual keyboard. Similar to TextInputProperties, you can use the new WebInputProperties class to specify the VirtualKeyboardOff flag from the TextInputFlag class.

When encountering an untrusted HTTPS/SSL connection, WebView used to cancel all loading immedately without providing any feedback. To improve the user experience, WebView now shows a warning and allows the user to inspect the certificates used. If the certificate error is minor, the user is allowed the option to add an SSL site exception for this particular site (that is, trust the connection anyway and proceed with loading the web content).

WebView now remembers which sites the user has granted permission to use location services and which sites the user has granted SSL site exceptions. The WebStorage class has been updated to include two new functions:

• The clearGeolocationPermissions() function clears all permissions granted by the user to web sites that use location services.
• The clearSslSiteExceptions() function clears all SSL site exceptions added by the user.

File system info

You can use the physicalCapacity() function to find the maximum capacity of the main storage on the device in bytes. This value can be displayed to the user as the storage capacity of the device (for example, 4, 8, or 16 GB of storage).

Maps

New features have been added to the Maps APIs:

• MapView: You can use the animateToLocation() function to fly or scroll to a location instead of jumping to the location on a map.
• GeoDeviceLocation: You can use the isValid() function and the validChanged() signal to determine the validity of a device’s location. The device has a valid location when it has received a location update from a location source.
• MapCoverageChecker: You can use the MapCoverageChecker class to determine if map coverage is available in MapView.
• RouteMapInvoker: You can specify hands-free navigation using the RouteMapInvoker class and the HandsFreeNavigation enum, which represents the list of possible hands-free navigation modes.

Multimedia

We’ve added closed captioning functionality to the MediaPlayer class and both embedded and external streams are now supported. In the NowPlayingConnection class, the preemptable functions are deprecated. You can use the PriorityLevel enumeration instead. NowPlayingController and NowPlayingConnection support the passing of ShuffleMode and RepeatMode through the now playing service.

Phone

We've updated the Phone class so that you can interact with calls in progress including holding a call, resuming a call, merging two calls into a conference call, and splitting a call from a conference call. Using the Call class, you can get the phone number of a call in progress if you have the read_phonecall_details permission.

Personal information management (PIM)

New features have been added to the PIM APIs:

• Account: You can retrieve all accounts on a device, including any accounts that might be disabled. You can set up an external account and specify the services that the account provider supports, and you can set owner information for the account.
• Calendar: For calendar events and BBM conferences, you can set online conference information, including the moderator code. You can now reply to a single occurrence of a recurring event, reply to an event invitation and propose a new time, and search for prefixes only in the subject, location, or attendee fields. You can retrieve an iCalendar attachment by providing a message ID, and there are new categories for calendar events.
• Contacts: Groups are now available, which let you organize contacts into logical groupings. You can retrieve the display name of a contact, as well as the photo hash that's associated with a contact photo.
• Message: Update filters have been added, which let you specify options and parameters for bulk message updates, such as mark read, delete, or hide. You can set messages as hidden, and you can apply various permissions to messages. For conversations, you can retrieve the reply state and timestamp, and you can specify whether a conversation is hidden. Support for very large attachments has also been added.
• Notebook: A filter has been added that you can use to search for and count notebook entries.
• Phone: You can gather information about previous incoming or outgoing calls on the device, and you can access the history of past calls (also called the call log).

API reference versions

---

Each programming element in the API reference now includes a "Since" section that indicates the earliest API level in which the element was available. For example, the uds_register_client() function (which is part of the Unified Data Source Library) states "Since: BlackBerry 10.2.0", which indicates that this function is available in API level 10.2 and later.

JI: 627923

While you were developing your app, when you set Application::setAutoExit(false) and then closed the app, your app may have appeared to be frozen but it was waiting for debugging to start.

JI: 609843

In some cases, the memoryUsedByCurrentProcess() function may not have returned the correct value for the amount of memory that was being used.

JI: 490079

The Weather app terminated unexpectedly when you tried to add a city while the screen reader was turned on.

JI: 485377

No matter what orientation the device was in, no orientationChanged() signal was emitted when the orientation of the device was changed.

JI: 478389

When you were using a MapView, no useful information was displayed in a location caption dialog box for the radius of a Geolocation, GeoDeviceLocation, GeoPolygon, or GeoPolyline on that MapView. Subsequently, you could not interact with a polygon, line, or radius circle.

JI: 466800

The networkOwnerIpAddress() and networkOwnerHardwareAddress() functions of WiFiDirect returned empty strings.

JI: 455682

Cascades maintains the visible and opacity properties of an ActivityIndicator. An ActivityIndicator became visible (opacity == 1) when it was running, and it was not visible (opacity == 0) when it stopped. As a result, you could not read or set the visible and opacity properties of an ActivityIndicator. If you read or set the visible or opacity properties, it caused unexpected results in your app.

JI: 441438

Generating static image maps with MapImageGenerator took longer than intended.

JI: 436711

In the ValueA11ySpecialization class, the maxValueText, minValueText, and valueText properties were not NULL by default as documented. Instead, these variables all contained empty strings by default.

JI: 377486

An InvokeTargetFilter allowed you to set the MIME type as '*' and register the filter, even if the filter was restricted.

JI: 377476

If you called the InvokeUpdateTargetFiltersRequest::updateTargetFilters() function, a finished() signal was not emitted.

JI: 377331

If you did not have a device password set and you locked your device and then swiped down from the top to put the device in bedside mode, when you tried to wake up the device by swiping up, the password dialog box was not presented or the UI did not respond to the swipe up.

JI: 150791

In a ListView, calling itemRemoved() and itemAdded() with the same index path caused the app to become unresponsive.

JI: 150165

When you used a validator in a password TextField and the validation failed, the errorMessage icon and text were not displayed.

JI: 134626

Progress toasts sometimes timed out incorrectly when show() or exec() was called repeatedly.

Camera

---

JI: 513997

The acl_to_text() and acl_from_text() functions weren't safe to use in multithreaded apps.

Documentation

---

JI: 617429

In the Security Builder Crypto Library documentation, the functions described for huecpvs.h and huecspeke.h were not available.

Headless apps

---

JI: 461658

The category type for headless apps was incorrectly returned as "service".

Installation

---

JI: 402296

When installing the Native SDK on Windows XP, you had to specify a different installation location, instead of using the default location. The folder name could not contain spaces.

JI: 402236

After uninstalling the Native SDK, you might have received a warning that some directories couldn't be removed.

OpenAL

---

JI: 403231

You could not create two contexts with different attributes by calling alcCreateContext(). Errors were produced after attempting to create the second context, you could no longer call alcOpenDevice(), and sound was no longer playable in other OpenAL apps.

Scoreloop SDK

---

JI: -

On occasion, when you were running the Setup Wizard for the first time either directly from the Games app or using a third-party game, when you clicked the Let’s Play button on the last page of the wizard, the Games app might have closed unexpectedly.

JI: 469817

You couldn't set a profile picture on the edit profile page of the Games app.

BBM Social Platform

---

Apps installed in the work space cannot access the BBM Social Platform. To connect to BBM, your app must be installed in the personal space.

When you retrieve the version number of the BBM Social Platform library that is running on a contact's device, the value returned might be unreliable if the device is running BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2 or later.

QRC-based resources

---

If you are using QRC to improve performance in your apps, the new asset selection tool may affect your apps. If asset selection is used, an index file is generated automatically. However, this index file does not include contents that are only included in the QRC binary file. Instead, it lists only the files that reside in the assets directory in your project.

Workaround: Place a copy of QRC-compiled assets in your assets directory. The tool will then include these assets in the index file. When the device loads the app, the appropriate files in the binary are still used and the app continues to benefit from the performance gain of QRC.

Viewers in the invocation framework

---

Using the invocation framework, viewer-related classes (for example, InvokeViewerMessage and InvokeViewerRequest) and functions have been deprecated. The viewer-related classes and functions have been replaced by Card classes and functions. For more information on the Cards API, see Cards.

BlackBerry ID and Signing Authority linking

---

If you do not register your signing key and your BlackBerry PlayBook debug token with the same client ID, an error will be thrown when you try to link your BlackBerry ID account with a Signing Authority account. A fix will be available in a subsequent release.

FreeType

---

Applications using FreeType must add the following include path: $QNX_TARGET/usr/include/freetype2

Multimedia

---

If an app plays a media stream that's encrypted, the app won't allow video playback if an HDMI display is connected, due to security restrictions. This limitation will be resolved in a subsequent release.

There is a slight delay between tracks played as part of a playlist (approximately 0.5 seconds), even when the playlist includes only one track that is repeating.

OpenAL

---

• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states that the function alcCloseDevice() will fail if the device's contexts and buffers have not been destroyed. alcCloseDevice() actually destroys any contexts and buffers still associated with the device.
• The function alcGetIntegerv() does not throw an error when retrieving ALC_MAJOR_VERSION and passing an invalid device pointer.
• The function alcGetString(device, ALC_CAPTURE_DEFAULT_DEVICE_SPECIFIER) throws an error when invoked after the device has been closed. It should return the default device and ignore the device parameter.
• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states in the description of the function alcGetString(), "Specifying NULL for deviceHandle when asking for ALC_EXTENSIONS will generate an ALC_INVALID_DEVICE error." In fact, no error is generated.
• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states in the description of the function alBufferData() that, "An invalid size will result in an AL_INVALID_VALUE error." In fact, calling alBufferData() with an invalid size does not cause the INVALID_VALUE error.
• When the function alcMakeContextCurrent() is called with an uninitialized ALCcontext pointer, it correctly returns ALC_FALSE, but does not generate an ALC_INVALID_CONTEXT error.
• The OpenAL Programmer's Guide - OpenAL Versions 1.0 and 1.1 incorrectly lists AL_INVALID_VALUE as a possible error returned by the functions alGenBuffers() and alGenSources() when the array is not large enough to hold the number of items requested. In fact, no error is generated.
• The function alSource3f() does not throw an AL_INVALID_VALUE error when invalid numbers are passed as parameters. Apps should perform their own validity checking.
• The function alSourcef() throws an AL_INVALID_VALUE error for valid values when using AL_CONE_INNER_ANGLE and AL_CONE_OUTER_ANGLE.
• No error is thrown when the function alutLoadWAVFile() is called without a current context.
• The function alutGetError() does not return ALUT_ERROR_ALC_ERROR_ON_ENTRY when there was already an ALC error on entry to alutLoadMemoryFromFileImage().
• In the OpenAL Programmers Guide, AL_DATA is incorrectly documented as a valid buffer property. An attempt to retrieve this property through alGetBufferi() and alGetBufferiv() will result in an AL_INVALID_ENUM error.
• The deprecated function alutLoadWAVMemory() does not return the expected values.
• The function alGetListenerfv() does not generate an error when called with an invalid value. Apps should perform their own validity checking.
• The following attributes are set by the device and cannot be altered using the attribute list of the function alcCreateContext(): ALC_FREQUENCY, ALC_REFRESH, ALC_SYNC, ALC_MONO_SOURCES, ALC_STEREO_SOURCES, and ALC_MAX_AUXILIARY_SEN.
• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states that the function alGetEnumValue() sets the error code AL_INVALID_VALUE if the specified enumeration cannot be found. In fact, this error is not set when an invalid enumeration value is specified.
• The OpenAL Programmer's Guide - OpenAL Versions 1.0 and 1.1 incorrectly states that the functions alcSuspendContext() and alcProcessContext() produce the error ALC_INVALID_CONTEXT when called with a null or destroyed context. However, no error is generated.
• The function alListener3f() does not generate an error when called with a NULL value for the AL_VELOCITY attribute. Apps should perform their own validity checking.
• The function ALCGetProcAddress() does not return addresses for the specified context extension functions, even for valid functions. It always returns NULL.
• The function alSourceQueueBuffers() queues invalid buffers. If you pass a NULL buffer to this function, it will queue the buffer and not raise an error, even though the buffer is not valid.

OpenSSL

---

BlackBerry 10 uses OpenSSL 1.0.1, with the following deviations from the standard implementation:

• TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 support is disabled by default.
• The heartbeat TLS extension has been disabled. This extension is described by RFC 6520, which is located at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6520.txt.
• The list of default SSL/TLS/DTLS ciphersuites has been altered.
• Applications using SSL/TLS/DTLS connections get a default set of ciphersuites unless they explicitly specify which ciphersuites they want to support using SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list() or SSL_set_cipher_list().
• The default set of ciphersuites has been changed to "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SRP:!SSLv2" which eliminates the SRP ciphersuites from the standard default set of ciphersuites provided by OpenSSL 1.0.1.
• SSL_CTX_new(), which is used to create a new SSL_CTX object for TLS/SSL/DTLS negotiations, has been altered to disable TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 support by automatically setting the option SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 and SSL_OP_NO_TSLv1.2.
• TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 will be disabled by default when using SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_server_method(), or SSLv23_client_method(). Applications that need TLSv1.1 support can clear the SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 option by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1) or can use one of the following TLSv1.1-only methods: TLSv1_1_method(), TLSv1_1_server_method(), or TLSv1_1_client_method(). Applications that need TLSv1.2 support can clear the SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2 option by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2) or can use one of the following TLSv1.2-only methods: TLSv1_2_method(), TLSv1_2_server_method(), or TLSv1_2_client_method().

Payment Service

---

When you use the BlackBerry 10 Device Simulator to test your apps, your apps cannot communicate with the BlackBerry World servers to test certain Payment Service features. To test Payment Service features on the simulator, you should use Local Mode testing.

If you need to test your apps by interacting with the BlackBerry World servers, you need to run the app on a physical device and use a BlackBerry ID in sandbox mode. For more information about testing apps that use the Payment Service, see Testing in-app purchases.

Scoreloop SDK

---

Social networks are not supported in this Scoreloop release. APIs related to the following classes are unsupported:

• SC_Message (Partial)

JI: 150357

The ArrayDataModel::move() function does not work as expected.

JI: 149929

When you set a URL property for a QML object, file paths are case-sensitive when they should be case-insensitive. For example, “FILE:app/native/assets/contacts.json” and “file:app/native/assets/contacts.json” should be treated the same, but are not. Also, a URL that’s defined in QML may result in a URL that has part of the path duplicated.

JI: 146568

In QML, the connect keyword cannot be used to connect the touch() signal of a Control to a function.

JI: 144760

The ArrayDataModel::indexOf() function sometimes returns 3 in cases where it should return -1.

• camera_video_vf_modes_t

Documentation

---

JI: -

The documentation that is embedded in the library header files for the following APIs may not be the most recent:

• Bluetooth Library
• Camera Library
• Near Field Communication Library

For the most up-to-date documentation, refer to the online documentation for each library.

JI: -

The SCREEN_PROPERTY_GESTURE_RECOGNITION property is included in the documentation but is not available for use.

JI: -

We are hard at work creating an awesome UI experience for you! While we are doing this, some references to the BlackBerry 10 UI, including screenshots, may not reflect what you see in the current software.

JI: -

In previous releases, the most recent version of the BlackBerry Platform Services library (libbps) was bundled with the Native SDK. This version was newer than the version on the target OS. To ensure the correct BPS library version was used by applications at run-time, projects in the Native SDK 1.0 would:

• Use BPS headers from the $QNX_TARGET/../target-override location for compilation,
• Link the libbps.so from the $QNX_TARGET/../target-override location to generate the application executable, and
• Package the libbps.so from the $QNX_TARGET/../target-override location in the BAR.

JI: -

As of the Native SDK 2.0.0 release, BPS no longer resides in the target-override location. The BlackBerry 10 OS and BlackBerry 10 Native SDK versions of this library are in sync. If you have applications targeting BlackBerry 10 that you no longer want to support on PlayBook 1.0.x, you should remove the libbps.so.1 asset from bar-descriptor.xml and target the BlackBerry 10 version of the Native SDK. To verify, select the QNX page in the project properties dialog box. Otherwise, packaging of the BAR file will fail because it will not be able to find the libbps.so file to include in the BAR.

JI: 393737

The BlackBerry 10 Native SDK documentation may not appear in Dynamic Help in the Momentics IDE. To access help topics from Dynamic Help, right-click a topic and click Open in Help Contents. Alternatively, you can always access the documentation by clicking Help > Help Contents in the IDE or by visiting the Documentation website.

Headless apps

---

JI: 709026

If you are using the headless app template, the headless app can't be started in Run-Release mode because this mode requires a signed .bar file with the _sys_headless_nostop permission. However, you can still test a headless app in Device-Debug mode and apply for signing keys with that special permission and get your app signed once you're at the publishing stage.

JI: 708357

When debugging a headless app, use the personal workspace to deploy it. If you need to debug the headless service portion of the app in the work space, in the Momentics IDE, perform the following steps:

1. In the Project Explorer view, select your headless service.
2. In the Launch configuration drop-down list, select Create New Launch Configuration.
3. Click Debug.
4. Click Next.
5. Click C/C++ QNX QConn(IP).
6. Click Next and then Finish.
7. In the Launch mode drop-down list, select Attach.
8. Click the Launch button. The Debug perspective appears with the list of processes that can be attached to.
9. Select the headless service process. The debugger stops at a default breakpoint of the service.
10. Continue debugging.

Installation

Permissions

---

JI: -

In the IDE help, the correct Record Phone permission is read_phonecall_details and not read_phone_call_details.

Scoreloop SDK

---

JI: 667474

The "score formatter" parser expects the mode and level definitions in numerical order. You can modify the score formatter file that you downloaded from Scoreloop and then add it to the app as a resource. However, if the order is not maintained and Scoreloop APIs that rely on score formatter parsing are used, the app will terminate unexpectedly.
