Requirement: when the user presses enter on e.g. bbApp001://screen1?param1=1234567890?param2=12345678

where bbApp001 is one of the apps in the device; screen1 is one of the screens that is created in the app; and param1 is the first param that is sent along with the link and same with the param 2.

In a BBM message or in the email the corresponding application will be invoked with that as context.

  1. how to detect custom urls(bbApp001://screen1) of a third party application from an email or bbm link in blackberry
  2. if above can be done then how to send content with links to email and bbm so that when a user click the corresponding app is launched
    Note: for the first - I have tried to launch from another application using ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().launch("bbApp001?screen1&param1") but my requirement is to trigger/invoke the app once the user click on email or bbm message.

  • My fault it's not CHAPI API. Take a look on these two links: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Custom-Protocol-Handler/td-p/335240, http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/348583/800332/800505/800608/How_to_-_Leverage_pattern_matching_in_BlackBerry_smartphone_applications_to_provide_an_integrated_user_experience.html?nodeid=1234285&vernum=0 – Eugen Martynov Dec 18 '12 at 08:41
