Launch the video recorder from BlackBerry app

Are there any APIs to launch the video recording app? I want to invoke the video recorder 开发者_Go百科through my app, record a video, then save that video to the server.

ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().launch("net_rim_bb_videorecorder");

This will help you open the application. If you want to start recording, you may need to simulate a key input.

btw: CameraArguments(ARG_VIDEO_RECORDER) is introduced since jde4.7, so it's not compatible with the previous OS's. So the previous method is better.

Finally find the solution from BB docs .
