2.3 beta 1 - getBackgroundColor

in the beta getBackgroundColor always returns a black background, even though in the simulator setting the background is set to be white...

function onUpdate(dc) {

        width = dc.getWidth();

        height = dc.getHeight();



        // clear screen

        backgroundColor = getBackgroundColor();

        System.println(backgroundColor);

        dc.setColor(backgroundColor, Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);

        dc.fillRectangle (0, 0, width, height);

...

prints 0 in 2.3 beta1
prints the expected 16777215 in 2.2.5

Hey,

I'm having trouble reproducing this. Could you take a look at the sticky at the top of the Bug Forum and see if that can help you fill out some of the missing info for me?

Thanks,

sure.

o A Descriptive Title (i.e. “Simulator Freezes Launching App in Eclipse”)
getBackgroundColor returns always as black even though the simulator setting is white

o The Environment:
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607 (build 14393.1066)
Eclipse version: Eclipse Neon.3 (4.6.3)
SDK: 2.3 beta 1

o Any applicable additional information
In the simulator using Data Fields -> Background Color -> White / Black has no effect. (background always black)

o A code sample that can reproduce the issue (in email only if preferred)

Can't paste the code here in a code block due to the access denied bug in this forum, so I've attached it as a zip

bug still present in 2.3.1

Hey,

I can confirm that this is still happening, but only in the sim and only on complex data fields. I've created a new ticket to try and get it prioritized.

Thanks,

I see the same thing using 2.3.1.

This was fixed in the 2.3.2 SDK release. :)
