Why doesn't my Blackberry app update when I change the code?

Question

I'm having trouble getting my application to change once it's on the blackberry simulator. I run my program once, it works fine, then I change a few lines of code, rerun the app and nothing has changed.

It seems like once the app gets installed on the simulator that I can't change it. I'm using Eclipse to develop my app. I'm just clicking debug to run my app.

So why isn't my application changing on the simulator? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

You can reset the state of the simulator using the clean.bat script that is included in the simulator directory. For example:

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0\simulator\clean.bat

Answer 2

You can also edit the .bat file that runs the simulator, adding the /clear-flash tag will ensure that each time it loads the flash memory will be cleared.
