Hi All,

           Is it possible to open an app from the device through browser. If it possible how  we can implemented in blckberry.

Thanks in Advance

We can open from the browser field. From the native browser I think no.

http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.1.0api/net/rim/device/api/io/http/HttpFilterRegistry.htm... can be used to launch applications via URL.
check the httpfilterdemo

I believe there are two ways that you can do this but have never attempted this myself:

a) Using the HTTPFilter

basically this matches an application to the domain of the URL request and can start that application

b) Using the Content Handler API - this will then process the URL

If you search the forum you will find out more about both of these.

There is potentially a third option that I have used, that is the PatternRepository.  But this API is only available when the text is being displayed using an Active EditField, so it will work in an ordinary email, but not in the Browser or an html email. 

Edit:  Opps I see SImon was faster on the keyboard....
