private final static boolean DEBUG = false;
    
public final static int IMAGE_TYPE = 0;
public final static int AUDIO_TYPE = 1;
public final static int VIDEO_TYPE = 2;
    
    public final static boolean isInstalled(Context context){
         Boolean installed = false;
         try{
             PackageManager mPm = context.getPackageManager();
             PackageInfo info = mPm.getPackageInfo(WHATSSAP_APP_ID, 0);
             installed = info != null;
         }catch(Exception e){
             installed = false;
             if(DEBUG) Log.e("Exception", e.toString());

Any idea ?

The method shouldn't be static (in Activities).

 

[MarcoRome]

Ok, also if i write:

...
public boolean isInstalled(Context context){
....

i have anyway this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Method: isInstalled not matched.

maybe is wrong this code:

If FirstTime Then
NativeMe.InitializeContext
EndIf
Dim w AsBoolean
w = NativeMe.RunMethod("isInstalled", Null) ' <----- I think that i have here ERROR
Log("Whatsapp " & w)

in this case --> isInstalled(Context context) is correct call this method with parameter NULL ?

There are easier ways to find out if whatsapp is installed. Use Packagemanager

Yes i know this Manfred. I'm conducting trials of this wonderful new opportunity to insert code jave directly.
In library we substitute Context context --> BA ba.
I would understand when i have "Context context" in code B4A is "Null" or what ??
Anyway thanks for your continuous support to the community.

Remove the context parameter.

You can use 'this' to access the activity (or context).
