Hi,

When I try to launch the email application to compose new EMAIL, it launches the  messae application to compose new SMS.

This is what I am doing:

    Invoke.invokeApplication( Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(MessageArguments.ARG_NEW ) );

Is there anything wrong with the call above?

PS:

I am unable to access the blackberry  knowledge center.

the call looks correct.

Here is a good document about it:

What OS version are you using? 

This one works for me(OS 4.5):

   Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES,
                        new MessageArguments(MessageArguments.ARG_NEW,
                        "", "subject", "message body"));

Thanks for the response.

I tried the call with 4 arguments. But it also creates the same screen("Compose SMS").

I am doing this on JDE 4.3.

According to the javadocs this should even work in JDE 4.2.

Could this be a setup issue?

I think this is a know issue of 4.3 and below. I read this somewhere but i can't find it. I'll try to look for it.

Thanks for the response John. Is that an issue with just the emulator or even its like this on the device?

[johnbibs]

i think it's an issue of both the simulator and the device.

I have seen applications running on 4.2 which launch an email  message compose window, with files optionally attached etc. How do they achieve this functionality?

[martijnbrinkers]

You can create a message with attachments and open the message application with the new message.

Message message = new Message();

message.setSubject("some subject");

// add body, attachments etc.

MessageArguments messageArguments = new MessageArguments(message);

Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, messageArguments);

Thanks a lot for the response Martin.

This does not work on JDE 4.3.
