Code : Allow an application to restart itself

A Java application for a BlackBerry device is able to shut down and restart itself. Prior to exiting, the application should stop all threads and free up resources. The following code shows a simple application that will continuously exit and restart itself.

public final class RestartSample extends Application { public static void main(String[] args) { RestartSample theApp = new RestartSample(); theApp.enterEventDispatcher(); } public RestartSample() { System.out.println(“Application Started…”); //Get the current application descriptor. ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor(); System.out.println(“Scheduling the restart in 1 minute…”); /* Schedules are rounded to the nearest minute so ensure the application is scheduled for at least 1 minute in the future.*/ ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager ().scheduleApplication(current, System.currentTimeMillis() + 60001, true); System.out.println(“Application is exiting…”); System.exit(0); } }
