BlackBerry - Exception when sending SMS - networking

The code below should send a text message to a mobile number. It currently fails to work properly.
When the program attempts a message, the following error is reported:
Blocking operation not permitted on event dispatch thread
I created a separate thread to execute the SMS code, but I am still observing the same exception.
What am I doing wrong?

Dec 14, 2009 Stella answered their own question:
I resolved this issue by creating a separate thread and then not using Port etc.
Here it is:
SMSThread smsthread = new SMSThread("Some message",mobNumber);
smsthread.start();
class SMSThread extends Thread {
Thread myThread;
MessageConnection msgConn;
String message;
String mobilenumber;
public SMSThread( String textMsg, String mobileNumber ) {
message = textMsg;
mobilenumber = mobileNumber;
}
public void run() {
try {
msgConn = (MessageConnection) Connector.open("sms://+"+ mobilenumber);
TextMessage text = (TextMessage) msgConn.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
text.setPayloadText(message);
msgConn.send(text);
msgConn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}
}
}

How to save current location?

I have a question. I am working on mobile app where my user can store experience from trip by loggin current location.
I am connected to SQLite fo now and I am just exploring the Geolocator nuget from James Monemagno. SO far I can get the pin on map with current location, but I am unsure how to store the location in databse. I guess it wont be"position" and it must be Latitude and Longitude but then how will i get again the picture with the pin displayed under my post? Do you guys have some experience?

you can programmatically add a Pin to a Map
Pin pin = new Pin
{
Label = "Santa Cruz",
Address = "The city with a boardwalk",
Type = PinType.Place,
Position = new Position(36.9628066, -122.0194722)
};
map.Pins.Add(pin);

Long tap and drop pin in xamarin forms maps

I used Xamarin.Forms.Maps nuget package and displayed map on the device. I am able to show the pin on external button tap with the help of following code, but unable to achieve same on map tap to drop a pin on a specific location.
public void addPin(double latitude, double longitude, string labelName)
{
Position position = new Position(latitude, longitude);
_assignedPin = new Pin
{
Type = PinType.Place,
Position = position,
Label = labelName,
Address = "custom detail info"
};
map.Pins.Add(_assignedPin);
}
I followed this blog to get lat long on map, but map does not display the pin on the map.
We need to add the code in renderer itself to drop pin using xamarin.forms.maps
In Android: Renderer class:
private void googleMap_MapClick(object sender, GoogleMap.MapClickEventArgs e)
{
Map.Pins.Add(new Pin
{
Label = "Pin from tap",
Position = new Position(e.Point.Latitude, e.Point.Longitude))
}
}
And in iOS Renderer class:
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(ExtMap), typeof(ExtMapRenderer))]
namespace Xamarin.iOS.CustomRenderers
{
/// <summary>
/// Renderer for the xamarin ios map control
/// </summary>
public class ExtMapRenderer : MapRenderer

How do you print TextArea to a USB Thermal Printer 58mm?(JAVAFX)

So I'm trying to make a billing system in which I want to print a receipt.I was able to do it with some code that I found online,but the font size is too big to print in the 58mm wide paper.I'm not able to adjust the font size.Any kind of help with this issue will be highly appreciated.Thank You.

Irrespective of the reason, not obtaining Camera handle is a case that needs to be handled with proper error handling. In the current case in your Pause handler, is the Camera instance being released ? Check for proper usage at http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/pausing.html

Huge amount of packet drops and latency faced in netty

I am using netty 3.5.11 with Jdk 1.7 on Ubuntu to receive a large amount of updates of stocks rates at a very high frequency. The message format being sent is JSON. The data is subscribed from topic on a redis server. There is a Subscriber for each symbol. The channel object is passed to multiple Subscribers and on receiving the data it is written to the client.
Now the amount of data received is around 25,000 records in 2 minutes. Each record size is on an average around 500 bytes long.
During test runs around 7500/8000 records were dropped because the channel was not writable.
How do i avoid this. ?
I also noticed that the latency increases systematically leading to updates being received after a long period. This happened when i I used Bufferedwritehandler to avoid packet drops.
Here are the options that i set on bootstrap.
executionHandler = new ExecutionHandler(
new OrderedMemoryAwareThreadPoolExecutor(Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() * 2, 1000000, 10000000, 100,

The BufferedWriterHandler
public class MyBufferedWriteHandler extends BufferedWriteHandler
{
private final AtomicLong bufferSize = new AtomicLong();
final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());
public MyBufferedWriteHandler() {
// Enable consolidation by default.
super(true);
}
#Override
public void writeRequested(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, MessageEvent e) throws Exception
{
ChannelBuffer data = (ChannelBuffer) e.getMessage();
if (e.getChannel().isWritable())
{
long newBufferSize = bufferSize.get();
// Flush the queue if it gets larger than 8KiB.
if (newBufferSize > 0)
{
flush();
bufferSize.set(0);
}
ctx.sendDownstream(e);
}
else
{
logger.warn( "Buffering data for : " + e.getChannel().getRemoteAddress() );
super.writeRequested(ctx, e);
bufferSize.addAndGet(data.readableBytes());
}
}
#Override
public void channelInterestChanged(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent e) throws Exception
{
if (e.getChannel().isWritable())
{
flush();
}
}
The function used in the Subscriber class to write data
public void writeToClient(Channel pClientChannel, String pMessage) throws IOException
{
String lMessage = pMessage;
if (pClientChannel.isWritable())
{
lMessage += Constants.RESPONSE_DELIMITER;
pClientChannel.write(lMessage);
}
else
{
logger.warn(DroppedCounter++ + " droppped : " + pMessage);
}
}
I have implemented some of the suggestions that i read on stackoverflow and other sites. But i have not been successfull in resolving this issue.
Kindly suggest or advice as to what am i missing ?
Thanks
