I am trying to open an existing message from my application so that the native email client can display the content of said message, but I cannot find any way to do that. I have found a way to open a newly created message with
Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGE,
new MessageArguments (MessageArguments.ARG_NEW, "to", "subject", "body"));
But trying to open an existing message triggers an ObjectGroupReadOnlyException.
So, how can I do this? Any suggestions?
In Blackberry SDK samples you can find a demo app using which you can understand how to read your inbox using your own application
The name of the demo is BlackberryMailDemo
I was trying to display a message (using the native email app) from a different app. Basically: provide a different inbox view, but when the user selects an email, send him to the native email app with the email opened.
In any case, it is not possible.

I am using twilio to send SMS messages to phone numbers. What I am having problems with is making sure that once a user gets the message the preview of what is at a certain link actually loads in the message the user sees on the phone.
What is the proper way to send a link that automatically shows the preview?
EDIT:
I tried the open graph api. Apple does have a tech note on that. But, then, why does this link provided a proper preview in messages when I send this link to another phone? It works, and it does not use open graph.

a couple of things you can try
have the link at start of the message or end of the message
the link should be properly formatted with either http:// or https://
iOS uses The Open Graph protocol to support what image to show in the link . http://ogp.me/
I am developing an iOS app targeting iOS 9 and above using Swift 3 and xCode 8.
I have a "Contact ViewController" which contains multiple forms where user enters its data to submit. Collected data also contains users' e-mail address. I am validating all the information that entered by the user correctly.
So, what I would like to do is my "send" button to send the user's all data to an e-mail address.
Is this possible without using Mail App or its interface? Do I need additional framework for such functionality?
I appreciate your time and sharing your thoughts.
This is not possible secretly. You can't send an email from the users device via the Apple Mail app because the system will not allow that. You can prepare an email with all the data that opens and let the user send it to you by tapping "Send" in the NavigationBar. So yes, you would need another framework to do that.
But I would not use emails to do that. Just use a server you send the data to or a service like Firebase.
If you really have to send E-mails, and just pushing the data to a backend API is not enough:
This is not possible using built-in functionality, but you could leverage an external mail delivery service like Mailgun to send your mails. (From a security standpoint, this should be handled by a server and not by the app itself however.)
I have an app that presents a MFMessageComposeViewController for sending a text message for a predefined number. The current user already has an SMS history with this number, so already existing SMS with this number show up in the composer. Some of this SMSs have links inside.
Problem is:
When I click on the link from my app message composer the link does nothing.
BUT when I open the SMS app, select the contact and click the links in old messages it opens in Safari.
Question is: is there any way I can handle the tap on the links inside an MFMessageComposeViewController?
From what I can tell this is not currently possible.
And you are also not aloud subclass. Since there are no other public messaging Apis you are out of luck on this one. - at least on this version of ios 7.
All I am developing an iPhone application in which I have to send mail to recipient without showing email id and the MFMailComposer UI view (i.e without user interaction and also user cant know who is the recipient). Can please tell me how to achieve this?
You cannot send Email without user acceptance. But there are a lot of web-services in internet which can send Email. I guess some app uses those services or uses own.

You can create a PHP webpage which uses the mail function, just a couple of lines of code.
Then just call the url to that php webpage from your app!
Let me explain:
There are some apps (like the Facebook app) that send emails to the BB device, but when I open the said email, it opens directly in my facebook app. How is that possible? Is there an API or something I need to know about to be able to program that on my own app?
On another topic, could I do the same thing, but simply force the email to open a certain url in the BB browser?
Hope I explained myself.
Cheers!
Short answer, yes.
Take a look at the Message List Demo Sample application and the net.rim.blackberry.api.messagelist.* apis. That will handle the "injecting my own stuff into the message list" component of what Facebook does.
Secondly as for "grabbing incoming emails and doing things with them" you need to use FolderListener from net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.* APIs
