How to invoke applications on BlackBerry

Question

I'm new on this world of BlackBerry and the thing is that i have a byte array of certain file that can be anything (picture, pdf, txt ...) and need to be shown. How can i execute applications related with the specific extention? In other words how can i invoke an application and give it the byte array to be displayed as the original file? I also have the extention or file type. I have tried to open the file using browsers but it always return timeout and that's not the idea. Here is something like my question but it has not a final response. I'm developing for BlackBerry Curve.

I have never used it, but I think the appropriate API for this is the Content Handler API, most commonly referred to as CHAPI I think. Look for documentation of javax.microedition.content. Here is a link that will take you to the ContentHandler class.

I suggest that you look for the chapidemo sample for more information. It should have come with your tooling, if not, here it is on github: chapidemo sample.
