Integrating with BlackBerry applications
Invoke BlackBerry applications
You can create BlackBerry® Java® Applications that invoke BlackBerry device applications such as the email,
calendar, phone, maps, browser, and camera applications to perform an action or display information. When the
third-party BlackBerry Java Application invokes the BlackBerry device application, the third-party BlackBerry Java
Application can make the BlackBerry device application perform an action or display information.
See the API Reference for more information about using the net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.Invoke class to
invoke BlackBerry device applications..
