This topic explains the prerequisites, the process of including and using Tally Authentication Library in the Blackberry 7 application project, and the available API/methods.
Add images in the res folder in the project.
To include Tally Authentication Library in your BlackBerry 7 application project
1. Right-click the project in which the authentication library to be used.
2. Click Build Path .
3. Select Configure Build Path .
4. Select Libraries tab.
5. Click Add external JARs .
6. Go to the folder where the Tally Authentication Library is located, select the .jar file, then click Open .
7. Select Order and Export tab.
8. Select .jar file for the Tally Authentication Library, if not already selected, and click OK .
1. Create a Runnable object.
2. This Runnable object acts as a callback when the authentication is completed.
Runnable onScreenCloseCallback = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
String str = "Status : " + TallyLoginInterface. getStatus () +
"\nSessionID : " + TallyLoginInterface. getSessionID () +
"\nTally.NET ID:" + TallyLoginInterface. getTallyNetID () +
"\nError Code: " + TallyLoginInterface. getErrorCode () +
"\nError Desc: " + TallyLoginInterface. getErrorDescription () +
"\nLib version: " + TallyLoginInterface. getLibraryVersion ();
Status. show (str);
}
};
3. Create an object of class TallyLoginScreen. Pass the online/offline mode status, and the runnable object in the constructor.
final TallyLoginScreen loginScreen = new TallyLoginScreen(true, onScreenCloseCallback);
4. Set developer mode to true , when application is in testing phase.
TallyLoginInterface. setDeveloperMode ( true );
5. Push the login screen on the current screen. This is done on the main thread.
// run on UI thread
UiApplication. getUiApplication ().invokeLater( new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
UiApplication. getUiApplication ().pushScreen(loginScreen);
}
});
API/Methods |
Purpose |
void setOnlineMode(bool) |
To set the mode (online/offline) in which library operates. If not set, by default the library operates in offline environment. |
bool getOnlineMode() |
To get the current mode in which the library operates. |
QString getTallyNetID() |
To get the Tally.NET ID which the library has authenticated, either successfully or unsuccessfully. |
QString getSessionID() |
To get the session ID after successful authentication. If the authentication is not successful, this method returns null. |
Int getErrorCode() |
To get the error code after unsuccessful authentication. If the authentication is successful, this method returns 0. |
QString getErrorDescription() |
To get the error description corresponding to the error code after unsuccessful authentication. If the authentication is successful, this method returns null. |
QString getLibraryVersion() |
To get the current version of the library. |
int getStatus() |
To get the status of authentication done by the library. 0– Failure 1– Success |
void setDeveloperMode(bool) |
To set the developer mode for the library. In developer mode, the library points to the test server. |
bool isDeveloperMode() |
To check whether the library is currently working in developer mode or not. |
