    <p>I am kinda new to BlackBerry OS development, my code is trying to get name of the city while using <code>LocationProvider</code> after passing <code>Criteria</code> parameter. i was following according to this <a href="http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Location-APIs-Start-to-finish/ta-p/571949" rel="nofollow">link</a> from RIM itself i tried "JSR-179" and "JSR-179 Extension" My code is as follows:</p> <p>"with JSR 179"</p> <pre><code>public String CurrentLocation() { try { //LBS(Location Based Service) JSR-179 Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); criteria.isAddressInfoRequired(); criteria.setCostAllowed(false); criteria.setAddressInfoRequired(true); criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(200); criteria.setVerticalAccuracy(200); locationProvider = LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria); location = locationProvider.getLocation(10); cityName = location.getAddressInfo().getField(AddressInfo.CITY); } catch (LocationException le) { new Tracer("CurrentLocation() caught LocationException : " + le.getMessage()); le.printStackTrace(); } catch (InterruptedException ire) { new Tracer("CurrentLocation() caught InterruptedException: " + ire.getMessage()); ire.printStackTrace(); } return cityName; } </code></pre> <p>with JSR-179 Extension</p> <pre><code>public String CurrentLocaiton(){ try { BlackBerryCriteria BBCriteria = new BlackBerryCriteria(); BBCriteria.setAddressInfoRequired(ProvideAddressInfoTExt); BBCriteria.setAltitudeRequired(true); BBCriteria.setSatelliteInfoRequired(true, true); BBCriteria.setCostAllowed(true); BBCriteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption(BlackBerryCriteria.POWER_USAGE_HIGH); //testing for high power BlackBerryLocationProvider bbLocationProvider = (BlackBerryLocationProvider) BlackBerryLocationProvider.getInstance(BBCriteria); location = bbLocationProvider.getLocation(9000); QualifiedCoordinates qualCoor = location.getQualifiedCoordinates(); cityName = location.getAddressInfo().getField(AddressInfo.CITY); } catch(LocationException le) { le.printStackTrace(); System.out.println(le.getMessage()); } catch(InterruptedException ie) { ie.printStackTrace(); System.out.println(ie.getMessage()); } catch(NullPointerException npe) { npe.printStackTrace(); cityName = "Caught Null Pointer"; Dialog.alert(npe.getMessage()); } return cityName; } </code></pre> <p>Am I missing something there or is there something wrong I have been scratching on this issue for hours now. I tried to catch <code>Null Pointer Exception</code> from this code snippet as well and if catching from "static void main" then <code>Uncaught Exception: pushModalScreen called by a non-event thread</code></p> <pre><code> .... try{ String location = cellLocation.CurrentLocation(); LabelField towerlocationText = new LabelField(towerString + location, LabelField.FOCUSABLE|LabelField.DEFAULT_POSITION); add(towerlocationText); } catch(NullPointerException npe) { npe.printStackTrace(); System.out.println(npe.getMessage()); Dialog.alert(npe.getMessage() + "" + "AddresInfo/LocationProvider/Locaiton gave null pointer exception" ); } ... </code></pre> <p><em>tried on BB-9700 BB-9790 Devices</em> as well on <em>Simulator BB-9900</em></p> <p>Thanks,</p>

    2. CO`Dialog.alert()` is not a good way to log exceptions. For your case it throws "pushModalScreen called by a non-event thread". Use `Logger` class or a text file on the device memory/sd card to log information you want. Regarding your code, seems that cellLocation.CurrentLocation() returns null value. And it is the reason of NPE in your case. Make sure you have GPS sattelites available when running this code on actual device and use Logger class to log every `suspicious` steps you need to make. To view log on a device with keyboard, hit CTRL, keep it pressed and hit `LGLG` on the keyboard.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
