Question
Need to access a third party android app from Pega 7
We need to access a third party android app (This opens the camera to do some stuff) from Pega 7 mobile platform. It can be triggered by the event "On Click" of a button. I need a proper documentation on the steps I need to perform to integrate my already built Pega Mobile App with the already built android app. Please let me know if I can use any OOTB approach or javascript to open the third party application on click and return back to the section when the app is closed.

Hi Sumit,
We cannot advise on a third-party application without knowing which third-party application and what kind of public API it might have. You will need to contact the vendor.
The Pega Mobile Client's public API (which includes camera and other media) and how to use it from JavaScript can be found in the following PDN articles:
