BlackBerry® World™ Development

[awjenning]

Hello I am about to submit an application that will have a trial version and a full version. They will be seperate applications (unique skus).  I want to provide a way for the user to install the full application from the trail application. At this point I don't need anything fancy. Pehaps the trial can just provide a link to the full application in App World. 

I know I have seen this discussed on here but I cannot find the information. Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. I found the information I need:

http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/<your-appid-here>

When I make a link, I get an error, "http://appworld.blackberry.com........ is not allowed"

Do I have to allow some stuff in the config.xml?

When I try to put a link in my app to App World, I get the following error message when trying to open the link from inside the app:

The browser could not handle the webpage.

I know the link is fine, because I entered the link address into the browser and it worked. Do I have a permissions problem?

I put the tag <access uri="*"/> in my config.xml file.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Yes, add this to your config.xml and I got it to work for me

<access uri="http://appworld.blackberry.com" subdomains="true" />

This code works - It is documented somewhere, but sorry can't find it again - took a fair bit of finding originally!



var url = "http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/" + appId;
       

 var args = new blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments(url);
 blackberry.invoke.invoke(blackberry.invoke.APP_BROWSER, args);


 you need these extra lines in config.xls as well as the access statement.

<feature id="blackberry.identity" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>
<feature id="blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>
<feature id="blackberry.invoke" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>

Hope this helps.

Hi fgoyti:

Would you mind sharing your config.xml that you got to work? I tried inserting that line, but am still getting the error message.
