User profile box

The UserProfile class contains an enumerated set of UserProfileBoxItem objects. Each UserProfileBoxItem has an ID (a primary key), an icon, and some text. A UserProfileBoxItem can represent anything from a display picture and character name within your game, to a badge signifying an accomplishment.

A user profile box is a list of items that are associated with the user and your application that the user can share with their BlackBerry Messenger contacts.

You can use the UserProfileBox class to add, remove, update, or retrieve the UserProfileBox object's associated UserProfileBoxItems.

Display the contents of the user's profile box

Before you begin: Make sure that you have completed the task, Register your application with the BlackBerry Messenger platform, and that the class that displays the MyUserProfileScreen screen passes in a reference to the BBMPlatformContext object associated with the application.
  1. Import the required classes and interfaces. 
    import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.*;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.profile.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import net.rim.device.api.util.*;
import java.util.*;
  2. Create a class that extends MainScreen. In the constructor for this screen class, pass in the application's associated BBMPlatformContext object. 
    public class MyUserProfileScreen extends MainScreen
{
    public MyUserProfileScreen(BBMPlatformContext platformContext) 
    {

    }
}
  3. Invoke BBMPlatformContext.getUserProfile() to retrieve a reference to the UserProfile object that is associated with this BBMPlatformContext. This instance is the current user's profile. 
    UserProfile userProfile = platformContext.getUserProfile();
UserProfileBox userProfileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
  4. Invoke userProfileBox.isAccessible() in an if statement to make sure that the profile box is accessible. 
    if (userProfileBox.isAccessible())
{
}
  5. Invoke UserProfileBox.getItems() to retrieve all of the items in the profile box. 
    if (userProfileBox.isAccessible())
{

    UserProfileBoxItem[] items = userProfileBox.getItems();
}
  6. Iterate through the UserProfileBoxItem[]. For each UserProfileBoxItem, invoke Screen.add() to display a BitmapField and a LabelField containing the UserProfileItem object's icon and text. 
    if (userProfileBox.isAccessible())
{
    UserProfileBoxItem[] items = userProfileBox.getItems();

    for(int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
        UserProfileBoxItem profileItem = items[i]
        
        Bitmap icon = userProfileBox.getIcon(profileItem.getIconId());
        myScreen.add(new BitmapField(icon));
        myScreen.add(new LabelField(profileItem.getText()));
    }
}

Code sample: Displaying the contents of a user's profile box

The following code sample assumes that the class that displayed the MyUserProfileBoxScreen has passed a reference to the application's associated BBMPlatformContext object into the MyUserProfileBoxScreen constructor. 

import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.*;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.profile.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import net.rim.device.api.util.*;
import java.util.*;

public class MyUserProfileBoxScreen extends MainScreen 
{    
    public MyUserProfileBoxScreen(BBMPlatformContext platformContext) 
    {
        UserProfile userProfile = platformContext.getUserProfile();
        UserProfileBox userProfileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
        
        if (userProfileBox.isAccessible())
        {
            UserProfileBoxItem[] items = userProfileBox.getItems();

            for(int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                UserProfileBoxItem profileItem = items[i]
        
                Bitmap icon = userProfileBox.getIcon(profileItem.getIconId());
                myScreen.add(new BitmapField(icon));
                myScreen.add(new LabelField(profileItem.getText()));
            }
        }
    }
}

Add an item to the user's profile box

Before you begin: Make sure that you have completed the task, Register your application with the BlackBerry Messenger platform, and that the class that displays the MyUserProfileBoxScreen screen passes in a reference to the BBMPlatformContext object that is associated with the application.
  1. Import the required classes and interfaces. 
    import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.*;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.profile.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import java.util.*;
  2. Create a class that extends MainScreen. In the constructor for this screen class, pass in the application's associated BBMPlatformContext object. 
    public class MyUserProfileBoxScreen extends MainScreen
{
    public MyUserProfileBoxScreen(BBMPlatformContext platformContext) 
    {

    }
}
  3. In the contructor, invoke BBMPlatformContext.getUserProfile() to retrieve a reference to the UserProfile object that is associated with this BBMPlatformContext. The returned instance is the current user's profile. 
    UserProfile userProfile = platformContext.getUserProfile();
  4. Invoke UserProfile.getProfileBox() to retrieve a reference to the UserProfileBox object that is associated with this UserProfile. 
    UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
if (profileBox.isAccessible())
{

}
  5. Register icons to be used in the profile box by invoking profileBox.registerIcon() for each icon. Invoke EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource() to create an image object to use as the icon. 
    if (profileBox.isAccessible())
{
    UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
    int iconId = 1;
    EncodedImage icon = EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource("myImg.jpg");
    profileBox.registerIcon(iconId, icon);
}
  6. Invoke UserProfileBox.addItem() passing in the icon ID that you just registered and a String to add an item to the profile box. 
    if (profileBox.isAccessible())
{
    UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
    int iconId = 1;
    EncodedImage icon = EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource("myImg.jpg");
    profileBox.registerIcon(iconId, icon);

    profileBox.addItem(iconId, "My message.");
}

    {
        UserProfile userProfile = platformContext.getUserProfile();
        UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();

        if (profileBox.isAccessible())
        {
            UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
            int iconId = 1;
            EncodedImage icon = EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource("myImg.jpg");
            profileBox.registerIcon(iconId, icon);

            profileBox.addItem(iconId, "My message.");

Remove an item from the user's profile box

Before you begin: Make sure that you have completed the task, Register your application with the BlackBerry Messenger platform, and that the class that displays the MyUserProfileBoxScreen screen passes in a reference to the BBMPlatformContext object that is associated with the application.
  1. Import the required classes and interfaces.

import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.profile.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import java.util.*;
  2. Create a class that extends MainScreen. In the constructor for this screen class, pass in the application's associated BBMPlatformContext object. 
    public class MyUserProfileBoxScreen extends MainScreen
{
    public MyUserProfileBoxScreen(BBMPlatformContext platformContext) 
    {

    }
}
  3. In the constructor, invoke BBMPlatformContext.getUserProfile() to retrieve a reference to the UserProfile object associated with this BBMPlatformContext. This instance is the current user's profile. 
    UserProfile userProfile = platformContext.getUserProfile();
  4. Invoke UserProfile.getProfileBox() to retrieve a reference to the UserProfileBox object that is asssociated with this UserProfile. 
    UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
if (profileBox.isAccessible())
{

}
  5. Invoke UserProfileBox.removeItem() passing in the ID of the item to remove from the profile box. This example removes the first item contained in the UserProfileBoxItem[] returned by UserProfileBox.getItems(). 
    UserProfileBox profileBox = userProfile.getProfileBox();
if (profileBox.isAccessible())
{
    int[] itemIds = profileBox.getItemIds();
    if(itemIds.length >= 1) {
        profileBox.removeItem(itemIds[0]);
    }
}
