Hi Guys,

I working on my first widget using Eclipse. It's really not a complicated widget. What I want to do is when the widget loads to open the default BB browser and load a weblink immediately. Once the browser loads the widget should die.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.

1) The Web Development forum is a better place to post:

2) Here is your code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var args = new blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments('http://www.yoursite.com');
blackberry.invoke.invoke(blackberry.invoke.APP_BROWSER, args);
blackberry.app.exit();
</script>

Dear Jerome,

I have tried your solution but on my BOLD 9700 the result is that the browser remain in background, if I remove

the blackberry.app.exit(); line the browser remains visibile but on back the screen of my widget appear.

How can I launch the browser and die my widget while leaving the browser in foreground?

May I register the callback for the onForeground event after invoking the browser in order to close the widget as soon as it comes back visible?

Thank You

I am a little confused by this requirement, so to clarify.

All you want is to have an icon on the Blackberry.  When the icon is pressed, a Web page is loaded in the standard Browser, then your application dies?

If that is correct, then you can write a very small java application, in it you will just start the Browser using this KB article.

Take you application to the background

<application>.(requestBackground();

Then start a Thread, that stalls for 5 seconds, and then issues a System.exit().

Job done I think.

Try this

BrowserFieldConfig myBrowserFieldConfig = new BrowserFieldConfig();
myBrowserFieldConfig.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE, BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER);
BrowserField browserField = new BrowserField(myBrowserFieldConfig);
browserField.requestContent("your URL");
