Java Development

Hi all,

I would like to know if the net_rim_bb_jaddownloadapp would allows third-party apps to invoke it to open JAD files. And if yes, does anybody know what argument value does it need, e.g. JAD file path?

Just a little background, I'm implementing this offline app update feature where I look for my app's JAD file on memory card (e.g. file:///SDCard/app/myapp.jad  ).

I initially used Browser by obtaining a default browser session and passing the JAD file path. It worked before, and is still working on some devices, although lately some of the devices started encountering this error: "907 Invalid COD A network error occurred".

So while I'm still looking for the solution on the Browser implementation, I starting looking for other options as well and found out that opening the JAD file from the file manager uses net_rim_bb_jaddownloadapp module. I'm now wondering if third-party apps can use this like the file manager.

Thanks!

That module is not designed to be used by third party developers, and I have no idea if it would work. I expect not.

What you can use is the CodeModuleManager class. It's not going to just install a jad file for you, but you can use to install and update apps.

The Browser Method should work.  I suspect the issue is most likely to do with the construction of the jad, and in this case, the use of sibling cods.  Some lelvels of Browser will cope, some will not.  So check your jad.
