Hi,

i'm playing around with the BB JDE 5.0.0 API and i'm trying to create an app that reacts when a BBM message is received.
I have looked at the example (TicTacToe) app which should explain this, but this app actually connects with another user first to initiate the interaction.
I just want to react on an incoming BBM message without knowing who sent it.
The API-docs do not make it very clear to me so i hope there's someone out here that can.
Here's a sample of my code which doesn't work:

// intentionally omitted imports to shorten post

public class BBMReact extends UiApplication
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
{
  // don't know if this is necessary, except when using a screen
  BBMReact bbmReact = new BBMReact();
  bbmReact.enterEventDispatcher();

  ApplicationDescriptor adBBMReact = ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor();
  BlackBerryMessenger bbm = BlackBerryMessenger.getInstance();
  if (bbm != null)
  {
    bbm.addSessionRequestListener(new BBMReactRequestListener(), adBBMReact);
  }

  public BBMReact ()
  {
    // some constructor code (maybe a pushscreen or something)
  }
}

private class BBMReactRequestListener implements SessionRequestListener 
{
    
  public void sessionRequestAccepted( Session session ) 
  {
    session.addListener(new BBMReactSessionListener(), ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor());
  }
}

private class BBMReactSessionListener implements SessionListener
{
  public BBMReactSessionListener()
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
  }

  public void messageDelivered(Session session, Message message)
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  }

  public void messageQueuedForSend(Session session, Message message)
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  }

  public void messageReceived(Session session, Message message)
  {
    // This is where the reaction should take place
    Dialog.alert("You've got a BBM message!");
  }

  public void messageSent(Session session, Message message)
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  }

  public void sessionClosed(Session session)
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  }
}

Where or what am i doing wrong? Plz, help me understand the BBM API

Just off hand I would expect that what you are trying to do is not supported by the API. If it is, it would allow any BBM connected application to spy on other application traffic. Not normally the way RIM does things.

Then how can one make an app that changes the LED color for different types of incoming messages like, for instance, Ponas LED (there are more).

I think the only way to establish such is when you register with the messaging apps (services) to "catch" an incoming message.

I want to learn how to do exactly that.
