Hi,

I want to create bound invoke Query using invocation framework. I want to know the Target Id for the BBM. I search in the documention of the invocation framwork but did not find target id for the BBM. 

And also in invoke query can we give multiple target id in one query?

Thanks,

Megha.

Assuming the target id is just the app's folder name, you can easily find some of those out by browsing the filesystem with Momentics, or using SSH and the command line.

I see the BBM app has the folder name sys.bbm.gYABgLOJBR2Vz7FzS.kdgJchuag on the DevAlpha with 10.0.9. Possibly all or some part of that is what you want.

Hi peter,

I tried with invokeTargetId which you suggest but that also did not work and it will not display share option.

Code:

InvokeActionItem {
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
title: "Share"
query {
mimeType: "image/jpg"
// uri: "file:///accounts/1000/shared/camera/IMG_00000044.jpg";
uri: setURIString(photoPage.imageSource)
invokeTargetId: "sys.bbm.gYABgLOJBR2Vz7FzS.kdgJchuag"
}
}

Even this folder "sys.bbm.gYABgLOJBR2Vz7FzS.kdgJchuag" works for you this case/this time, by looking at this name (like a random string) I don't think this folder name is the same for all devices and all future SDK versions.

Hi,

In this case how can i know the folder name of each and every device? To resolve this issue i tried with following code  from the bound query documentation,

InvokeManager *iManager = new InvokeManager(this);
InvokeQueryTargetsRequest iQuery;
iQuery.setAction("bb.action.SHARE");
iQuery.setMimeType("image.png");
InvokeQueryTargetsReply *iQueryReply = iManager->queryTargets(iQuery);

QObject::connect(iQueryReply, SIGNAL(finished()), this,
SLOT(myQueryReplySlot()));

In document they said that this will return you number of applcation which support png images but how can i know how many are supported.

Actually, although it looks random, it's not, and it should** remain the same in future.  As with all of our apps, which have similar ids, this string is both unique and permanent, and the design of App World and the OS relies on these things being true.  Without that, installing an update to your app would put it into a new folder, without access to the user's existing data for that app.

This is also the basis of the "bound" invocation approach, if I understood it correctly. (Not having done anything with IF yet, I may have misunderstood that point, but it doesn't change what I'm saying about the app id above.)

** I say "should" because of course I don't know that RIM will keep this particular name/id for the the BBM app once they launch, but whatever it is at launch, that's what it will stay.

Hi Peter,

I tried with the target id which you given in your previous post but it result in the following error.

Below is the code and error message i received.

Error Message: InvocationWrapper:nQueryFinished: no matching result from Menu Service for query

Query Code: 

InvokeActionItem {
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.InOverflow
title: "Share"
query {
mimeType: "image/jpg"
uri: "file:///accounts/1000/shared/camera/IMG_00000044.jpg";
//uri: setURIString(photoPage.imageSource)
// invokeActionId: "bb.action.SHARE"
invokeTargetId: "sys.bbm.gYABgLOJBR2Vz7FzS.kdgJchuag"
}
}

Our next BlackBerry Native SDK release will include a full set of documentation for all the invocation parameters for all invokable RIM applications.

Stay tuned, this is coming.
