Blackberry: operating system version

[John Goche]

Hello,

Anyone know whether there is a way to programmatically access the
operating system version on a blackberry device? On the Blackberry
7290 Simulator that comes with the Research In Motion Blackberry
JDE 4.1.0 I can access this by launching the "Options" application
and then clicking on "About" where among various details I can see:

Cryptographic Kernel v3.8.3.7

Is there a way to access this string programmatically?

Thanks,

JG

Should be accessible by
System.getProperty("os.name")
System.getProperty("os.version")

Should be accessible by
System.getProperty("os.name")
System.getProperty("os.version")

Have you verified that? The MIDP environment is not the same as JavaSE.

It's been a while since I've worked with a Blackberry. Have you tried
seeing if MIDlet.getAppResource() has any special properties listed in
the Javadocs?
