Our latest app for the iPhone

 

I’d like to introduce the Pregnancy Food Guide, our latest app for the iPhone.

 

 

Know what you can eat and what you can’t when you’re expecting.

When shopping for food or eating at a restaurant, this handy and informative guide will help you make safe decisions for you and your baby.

The application features hundreds of common foods, drinks, and ingredients, along with information on whether the food is safe to consume during pregnancy, and any related benefits or dangers.

BlackBerry Error: “PushModalScreen called by a non-event thread”

You’re working with a BlackBerry application, when, all of a sudden, a dialog box pops up with the message:

“Unexpected error: java.lang.RuntimeException:PushModalScreen called by a non-event thread”.

What gives?

The error message is an indication from the system, that the app you are working with is trying to display a popup screen to show you some information, but it’s doing it in an inappropriate way. In a nutshell, this is caused by poor programming on the part of the app developers.

This isn’t something that’s “fixable” by you. There is no general setting or configuration option that you can toggle in your system that would resolve the issue. You would need to contact the makers of the app directly for support, and they would need to fix the issue in their application, and release a patch update.

When you contact the developers, they may ask you to change a configurable option or toggle a setting to resolve the issue. If this helps, it’s because the developers are probably aware of the problem, and know of a temporary workaround. Their suggestion would get you around the immediate issue, but wouldn’t resolve the underlying cause of the error. For that, there is no getting around having the developers fix the issue in their application, and release a proper patch.

 

I updated one of my BlackBerry apps, and the icon disappeared!

 

You download an update for your favorite BlackBerry app, and after the update, the icon is nowhere to be found! What now?

Well, the solution is a bit cliché, but it works – restart your device.

On some new BlackBerry devices, after downloading a new version of an app, the system pops up a dialog box telling you that a restart is required for the update to complete properly. Sometimes, this dialog box is hidden behind another application or popup, and the system never gets the restart it needs. This leads to a situation where the icon for the old version of the application is gone, and the icon for the new version of the app is not yet added.

When you restart the BlackBerry, the application icon will return. It’s always recommended to restart the device after you install an application update.

The easiest way to restart your BlackBerry? Pull the battery! Wait a few seconds and then put it back in, allowing the system and all of your application to get a fresh restart.

Antair Nightstand 1.4 Video

When we released Antair Nightstand 1.4 for the PlayBook, we included the first animated theme – Terminal.

We worked really hard on making this theme feel realistic — like a real airport or train station terminal, with numbers that flip.

But the screenshots and pictures don’t really do it justice. So we made a short video of Nightstand running on a BlackBerry PlayBook to give you a glimpse of what the themes look like in version 1.4.
