VX7000, VX8000, Emluator?

[GLDChad]

Hello all,
I'm having some issues getting an application running correctly on the 211 emulator. It seems to work fine on the handset itself, but the emulator pukes it out before it even gets going. Basically it boots up, displays the first image (our logo), which is garbled, black and green, then crashes.

Do I need to apply some specific patches to BREW in order to build for the 7000? Any specific configurations I have to go through? Has anyone else experienced problems with the VX7000 emulator?

GLDChad - This question belongs in a new thread, as it really doesn't apply to the original topic of this thread.

There should be nothing special about the vx7000 emulator skin. All it does is specify the screen dimensions, key mappings, and heap size. Do you not see these problems with any other skin?

What happens when you step through your code? Where does the crash occur?

After correcting the usual emulator skin bugs that Qualcomm hands down to us lowly developers with every new emulator skin, the vx7000 skin works without problems. In the case of this skin you will want to fix the display resolution ratio as it is incorrect, scaling your output image, thus introducing artifacts.

That however, has nothing to do with the problem you're experiencing. The problem you are describing lies in your application.

When I ran my application, I am seeing unwanted user interface artifacts on the LG 7000 emulator. Can you please tell me how I can get rid of those unwanted artifacts? I am a newbie to this.

You may have outdated versions of the emu skins for handsets. Try downloading the latest ones. If the problem persists, use the Device Configurator to set up the display dimensions properly. What you're seeing is aliasing distortion because the emulator scales the output window.

Thanks Dragon for the super fast assistance.

All artifacts are now gone after I changed the fields "Coordiates (Windows Pixels)" in the Device Configurator to Width=176 and Height=203. It seems the downloaded version of the emu skin has an incorrect Width and Height. I wonder why that is.

I've fixed the VX7000 skin.
