Please tell me if you have do this before, I will very appreciate if anyone can give a sample code about this. Thanks before...

Hi,
running apps on iOS/Android is performed by executing an application specific URL. This varies a lot between platforms/apps so you need to be more specific about what you are trying to do.

Thanks for reply Shai,

I write this code on my app:

Display.getInstance().execute("com.adobe.reader");

I'm trying to launch adobe reader with that code, but nothing happen. Can you tell me the right way to do this?

On which platform?
If this is on android read about intents on Android.
If on iOS you should read about application launch URL's.

on Android, can you give a little example about execute intent with Display.getInstance().execute(); ?

Hi,

The url should start with "intent:#Intent;action=..."
