I was using the following code to launch BBM programmatically:

try {
ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().launchApplication("net_rim_bb_qm_peer");
} catch (ApplicationManagerException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

 its working with the simulator but its not working with my device. Can anyone point me where I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry need to start simple here:

What OS's are involved on Simulator and device.?

What level of BBM is on Simulator?

Does this throw an exception on the device?

What level of BBM is on device?

[nikita18]

My simuator has 7.1 OS and device has 5.0 OS. Its not throwing exception on simulator. I don't know about the device.

Can you answer my other questions too?

This might help for the problem on device:

Also have you read the information under this Heading:

Installing additional BlackBerry SDK versions

on this page:

CAn you please tell how I can get the level of BBM? 

[peter_strange]

Options-->Device-->Application Management

BBM will be included in the list.

Slightly different for OS 5.0 and earlier, but you should be able to figure it out. 

[nikita18]

My BBM version in device is 6.2.0.44. I'm not able to find BBM version in the simulator because its showing only "Personalisation and Privacy for search" in the options -> third party applications. 

[peter_strange]

For OS 5.0 and earlier to find Applications, you use:

Options-->Advanced-->Applications.

I am pretty confident you have a version mismatch.  Not sure if it is BBM or OS. 

And can you confirm that you have you read the information under this Heading:

Installing additional BlackBerry SDK versions

on this page:

https://developer.blackberry.com/java/download/eclipse/

The information there is also true for BBM Versions. 

[nikita18]

Sorry for replying late Peter. Yes I have read the information you are taking about. But I'm never able to install addtional SDK versions because I everytime get link failures on those sites. 

So what do you think I should do now? 

[peter_strange]

The first issue to resolve is to get you developing using JRE 5.0 for your 5.0 device. 

The instructions for updating this to give Eclipse another environment are found on this page:

https://developer.blackberry.com/java/download/#eclipse

Look for the heading:

How to install additional BlackBerry SDK versions

and click on it. 

If that does not help, then look at the heading:

Use Eclipse to install the BlackBerry Java Plug-in.

and click on it.
