Getting 1.1.0 to Work with BlackBerry OS6 Non-touch Devices

[soros]

Hi,

When you use a trackball / trackpad in BlackBerry OS6 Non-touch devices, a JavaScript 'onclick' Event is not firing (onmouseover is OK).

Originally, I thought it is an OS6 issue but after I contacted RIM we found out that's not the case.

Thanks to Stan B. who came up with a workaround that involves changing the Sencha Touch source code.

The three changes that need to be made in sencha-touch-debug.js:

Line 4763:
Touch: ('ontouchstart' in window) && (!Ext.is.Desktop && !Ext.is.Blackberry),

Line 13964:
if (!Ext.desktop && !Ext.Blackberry) {...}

Line 18217:
if (Ext.is.Desktop || Ext.is.Blackberry) {...}

In my company we have a few hundreds of BlackBerry users and probably 50% of them have OS6 non-touch devices. It would be great if the next release could add support to BlackBerry OS6 Non-touch devices.

Thanks

1.1.0 was the release that started Blackberry 6 support. Right now, the Torch is the only one I believe. Remember, it is Sencha Touch

Very nice, thanks for the info.

Though it runs really slow. I think its why Sencha hasnt included support for these devices.

No, Bold 9780 have OS6 too. And it isn't touch phone.

Thanks for the fix! Much welcomed as even touch BBs have trackpad.
