Working with multimedia in a BlackBerry

Application

BlackBerry Applications and multimedia

You can create a BlackBerry® Application that plays media in the BlackBerry® Browser, or plays media in the

media application on the BlackBerry smartphone. You can also create a BlackBerry Application that is a media

application. You can create a BlackBerry Application that is a media application and plays binary SVG content. You

can create an application that records audio or sends audio to a Bluetooth® enabled headset.

For more information about media types that the BlackBerry smartphone supports, visit www.blackberry.com/

btsc/support to read knowledge base article KB05482.

BlackBerry Applications and multimedia

BlackBerry Java Development Environment Multimedia Development Guide

Using audio and video in a BlackBerry

Application

Accessing stored media

You can create a BlackBerry® Application that uses the Connector class and FileConnection interface to access

media stored on the BlackBerry smartphone or a microSD card.

Access media on a BlackBerry smartphone

>InvokeConnector.open(). Pass the following parameters: the file protocol and the location of the media file

on the BlackBerry® smartphone.

FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///store/home/user/audio/

newfile.mp3");

Access media on a microSD card

>InvokeConnector.open(). Pass the following parameters: the file protocol and the location of the media file

on the microSD card.

FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///SDCard/music/newfile.mp3");

Playing media in the BlackBerry Browser

A BlackBerry® Application can use the methods of the Browser class and BrowserSession class to play media in

the BlackBerry® Browser.

soundclip.displayPage("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/music/yourFile.mp3");

Play a video in the BlackBerry Browser

1. Invoke Browser.getDefaultSession().

BrowserSession soundclip = Browser.getDefaultSession();

2. Invoke BrowserSession.displaypage().

soundclip.displayPage("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/Video/soccergame.avi");

Playing media in the media application

On the BlackBerry® smartphones that include the media application, a BlackBerry Application can use the

javax.microedition.content and net.rim.device.api.content packages to start the media application

with or without content.

Start the media application with or without content

1. Import the javax.microedition.content package into your application code.

Import javax.microedition.content;

2. Invoke Registry.getRegistry(). Pass the following parameter: the classname parameter which is the

name of the class in the application that extends javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet,

net.rim.device.api.system.Application, or net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication. Store a

reference to the returned object in a Registry object.

Registry reg = Registry.getRegistry(String classname);

3. Perform one of the following tasks:

4. To start the media application, invoke Registry.invoke(Invocation invocation). Pass the following

parameter: an Invocation object.

reg.invoke(invocation)

Task Steps

Start the media application

with no content.

> Create a new instance of an Invocation object. Store a reference to the object in an Invocation

object.

Invocation invocation = new Invocation(null, null,

BlackBerryContentHandler.ID_MEDIA_CONTENT_HANDLER);

Start the media application

with content.

> Create a new instance of an Invocation object. Use a media type supported by the media

application as a parameter, and store a reference to the object in an Invocation object.

Invocation invocation = new Invocation(file://...);
