Hi everyone

I know that i can send messages to a blackberry contact using the bbm 6.1 api. But if i want allow the user send message it will be possible if his contact has the app installed too.

Now my question is, is there a way for allow the app to send messages to a bbm comtact that doesn't have my app intalled????

With the BBM SDK you can send bbm messages to all the contacts, even if they don't have your app installed.

Little example*

Inside a channel you need to use MessagingService.shareContent() see the api documentation or broadcastData. It depends what kind of message you need to send. You can also start a chat with any contact. All is well explained in the bbm sdk developer guide.

I need to send a standart message to a conctac selected by user, but not start the chat

Have a look at the SDKDemo.

If your application is installed on both BB's, then this is possible, but you will have to always go through a set up process of selecting the contact each time you start the app.
