OpenBaseMovil 3.0 RC3 Released
We have released another version of the library, the RC3.
It fixes a bug in the new table creation methods and one in the build system.
We’ve also made some improvements and moved some classes from the util library to the core and bluetooth libraries.
We have done this release so fast because the bug resolved in the Table class is important enough, though it could be easily “workarounded” we felt that it should be fixed at once. It was only one missing line of code!
We are working with the application template and the demo application. They are going to bring some minor changes to the database engine. We will release them (the template and the sample) soon, along with the final version 3.0.

First let me say that your work is very much appreciated. Still, I currently have a problem. I tried to use your db package, but there is a problem creating a row. I followed your documentation as much as I could, but I can’t get this particular piece of code to run. Is there any place I could submit my code? The app itself is fine, packed and installed on a mobile phone

Hi elisoj,
Thanks, it’s great that you’ve been able to create an application even without the template!
We’re trying to finish the sample application and template, along with a quick-start guide. We’ll probably publish it today or maybe tomorrow. And it will be released with the final version of the libraries.
Since the commercial version of the libraries used the sync engine to create and populate the database structure, the methods added to the engine to do that manually might still contain bugs.
We expect to fix any pending bug while creating the sample application.
Please, use the Support option in the Tracker menu in the project’s page at Source Forge, fill your request with your code under the development category and openbasemovil-db group.
We will review it and answer you as soon as possible.

Hi Narciso,
this is no sophisticated application, I just wanted to test the database, this is why I needed no template. I have submitted the code as you supposed (I forgot to set the correct group, sorry), I hope this will help you guys (or help me if you can point out that I am simply too stupid to do things right)

Hi elisoj,
Thanks for your information. It seems to me like a bug in the table creation process.
I expect to confirm and fix it during today or maybe tomorrow, while we test everything thoroughly with the sample application.
Don’t worry about the group, I will move the support request to a bug when confirmed.

Hi elisoj,
I have closed the support request, take a look at it.
The problem was really that you were creating a string column with no length (and we were allowing you to do so).
We’ve introduced some checks for that.
In the following hours we will release the 3.0 final version, with a quick start guide, an application template that allows you to create a skeleton of a typical application, a sample application built with it, and some fixes and minor additions.
We will also put the sample application available for download to a cellular phone so you can try it.
It’s a demo but usable/useful application: a password vault, like KeePass or similar applications.
Thanks again for your input.

Hi again,
I’ve posted a comment for the support request, as the problem still seems to exist. I am looking forward to the final release. Keep up the good work and thanks for your explanations.

Hi again elisoj,
It should run on most models that support the jar size (250Kb).
Thanks for your feedback.
The final version is already available for download from the download page in the site and from the project page at sourceforge.
I’m just now writing a new entry about the final release.
Please, download the source code for the application template, the sample application and the Quick Start guide along with the framework itself.
Everything should be resolved, as the sample application (which you can download also to your cellular phone from the download page) is working fine.
I’ve done a quick test with my E70 and it works like a charm
