AFAIK there is no API available to launch other application from Qt S60, not even in Mobile Extensions API. You could try it by using Symbian API(RApaLsSession), if you know Symbian C++.

Check if QProcess::start() will help you in anyway.

If you have file what you want to play/open, check also QDesktopServices API. QDesktopServices:penUrl launches native application associated to given file. The file name can be passed as URL as follows: QUrl("file:///c:/data/images/image.bmp"). Works also for audio files.

hi Sachin Tikare,

Yes, Savaj is right! The following code starts, for example, the Camera application for 5.0:

QProcess* process;
QString program = "CameraApp.exe";
process->start(program);

you can check out this example for more details:
