Official Methods

You may use these documented methods in any application.

  • open
    Open a file or URL, letting the OS pick the appropriate application or viewer.
  • launch
    Explicitly launch the desired application, optionally passing in parameters.

Alternatively, you may wish to use a Cross-App Launch, useful for actions such as taking a picture.

Undocumented Methods

These methods are (probably) only available to applications in the com.palm domain. Thus they are forbidden for applications in the official catalog.
