Events (event.h)

Functions and structures for BlackBerry Platform Services (BPS) events.

BPS events are generic structures that encapsulate various types of data. The event structure and event delivery mechanism provide a way for the system to communicate with the application in an asynchronous manner.

The purpose of having a common event type across multiple services is to facilitate the uniform handling of heterogenous input to your application.

This file defines a generic event type, bps_event_t, that can be used by a BlackBerry Platform Service to communicate with an application. An application may also use bps_event_t events for its own purposes.

See bps.h for information on how to retrieve events.

Since:: BlackBerry 10.0.0
