Using the BlackBerry Storm in DeviceAnywhere

The BlackBerry Storm has a unique user interface (a touch screen that also requires a press to select the item). Correspondingly, the BlackBerry Storm in DeviceAnywhere Studio does not operated in the same manner as other touch screen devices.

Use these guidelines when operating the BlackBerry Storm in DeviceAnywhere Studio:

1. To highlight an item on the device screen, left-click on the item (corresponds to a light touch on the physical device).

2. To scroll on the device (e.g. scroll down the main menu) left-click, hold, and drag in the direction you would like to scroll.

3. To select an item on the device screen, right-click on the item (corresponds to a touch and press on the physical device).

4. To bring up the DeviceAnywhere Studio device menu, right click in the workspace, outside of the device screen area (right-clicking inside the device screen area selects the item on the screen, as described in #3 above).

What are the plans for supporting Android devices ?

Hi Tushar,

DeviceAnywhere currently supports Android devices, for instance the HTC G1 on the T-Mobile network. You can operate the touch screen on these devices simply by clicking on the screen with your mouse; they work similar to other touch screen devices in our device bank. We'll continue to add Android devices as they are launched into the market.
