Hello Frnds,

I am writing an application to download the media contents from Internet. Once downloaded I wish to launch a third party viewer from my J2ME application. Is this possible on Nokia Phones.

To understand the situation. My application has downloaded the media and now I need to play the content for audio / video or display as Image or launch a word processor. or a game. For this I need to know the application name and startup parameters expected by that application. HOw can I find these information.

Awaiting comments
Thanks
Shailesh

From a Java (J2ME MIDlet) you can, on phones with JSR-75 support, save the contents to a file, but probably not launch any native "handlers" fotr that file type (unless you also write a C++ component that you can via socket calls from the MIDlet tell what it should be doing with the file).
