Question

This might be a easy question but i couldn’t find solution. I want to open AppWorld by clicking a button in my BB application. For example when user clicks this button Appworld will show “Facebook Application” page. Can i do this?

In Android platform this line launches GooglePlay for Facebook App. Does BlackBerry supports this kind of method?

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.facebook.katana")));

Here is a simple way to do this:

Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage("http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/2360/?lang=en");

Above code will invoke the browser in the application and open the BlackBerry App World, I tested it in device and it’s perfectly working. For now I put a Whats App messenger link, but you can customize the link according to your requirement.
