                                    int offTime,
                                    int brightness)

public static void setState(int type,
                            int state)
Sets the specified LED state. Trackball LED can only be set if supported by device. Use LED.isSupported(int) to determine if trackball LED can be set.

Parameters:
type - One of the LED_TYPE_ defines.
state - One of LED.STATE_ON, LED.STATE_OFF, LED.STATE_BLINKING, LED.STATE_AUDIO_SYNC.

setColorPattern

public static void setColorPattern(int[] pattern,
                                   boolean repeat)
Configures the status LED to light using the pattern provided.

This method is only supported if the LED is capable of displaying multiple colors.

The LED pattern is an int array consisting of color/duration/transition tuples. The color is the RGB color (in the form 0x00RRGGBB), the duration is the duration in milliseconds for this color, and the transition is the time to transistion to the next color in milliseconds. So, a pattern to make the LED blink red would look like this: int[] pattern = { 0x007f0000, 150, 50, 0x00000000, 5850, 50 };

The pattern duration and transition times are interpreted as DWORD values, which are unsigned, so any negative values for these setttings are interpreted as positve values.

Parameters:
pattern - The LED pattern.
repeat - If true, the pattern is repeated continuously. The pattern can be stopped by calling setState( STATE_OFF ).
Throws:
NullPointerException - If the pattern is null.
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.0.0

setColorPattern

public static void setColorPattern(int type,
                                   int[] pattern,
                                   boolean repeat)
Configures the specified LED to light using the pattern provided.

This method is only supported if the LED is capable of displaying multiple colors.

The LED pattern is an int array consisting of color/duration/transition tuples. The color is the RGB color (in the form 0x00RRGGBB), the duration is the duration in milliseconds for this color, and the transition is the time to transistion to the next color in milliseconds. So, a pattern to make the LED blink red would look like this: int[] pattern = { 0x007f0000, 150, 50, 0x00000000, 5850, 50 };

Parameters:
type - One of the LED_TYPE_ defines.
pattern - The LED pattern.
repeat - If true, the pattern is repeated continuously. The pattern can be stopped by calling setState( STATE_OFF ).

The pattern duration and transition times are interpreted as DWORD values, which are unsigned, so any negative values for these setttings are interpreted as positve values.

Throws:
NullPointerException - If the pattern is null.
IllegalArgumentException - If the pattern is an invalid pattern.
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.0
