Update a Home screen icon
The ribbon API provides more control and flexibility over the application icons that display on the Home screen of the BlackBerry® device.
Use the ribbon API to perform the following actions:
- Update the icon to provide feedback to the user regarding the state of the application. For example, you could change the icon when new data is available.
- Create a rollover icon that displays when the application icon has the focus on the Home Screen. A rollover icon enables your application to mimic BlackBerry application icons that change when the application icon is in focus.
