I want to publish a trial version of my app on BB world. The trial version has a button, which links to the complete version of the app on BB world, so the consumers can buy it there. I use this call

 platformRequest("https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/21100");

but that does not work. I assume this is because I use the URL to the web version of BB world. Which URL should I use so the app can access the complete version on BB world? The web URL to this app is

https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/21100

I know it has something to do with the SKU of the app. I can't find the proper link format but I did find this: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Programatically-invoking-App-World-client/m-...

I see, but wouldn't it be better to just connect to the URL of the app on the appworld?

I assume that not everyone has the App World client installed?

Yea it would be better, I just can't find the link again.

Here is a more detailed version of the previously specified code:

Does anyone know how to just connect to the URL of the app on the appworld?

I don't think that I can use the code that you supplied for starting the BB client, because my app is a midlet and not a UIApplication.

I tried the code that suggested on

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-App-World-Development/Interface-with-the-BlackBerr...

It seems like it can't be used it in a midlet application, because the import

import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;

gives me the error message

 "reference to Graphics is ambiguous, both class net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics in net.rim.device.api.ui and class javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics in javax.microedition.lcdui match"

The other imports give me similar error messages. I assume that the code that you suggested is for UIApplications and that it can't be used in a midlet app?

I don't believe it wouldn't work in a Midlet. The first link I posted doesn't seem to have anything that wouldn't work in a Midlet, but I haven't tried.
