sending message to blackberry messenger contact

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.

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.

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.
