The following fixed menu actions are examples of actions that are available. These actions are represented in the OS using graphics or labels and can differ based on the locale and regions settings:
bb.action.OPEN
Describes the request to open associated content in a different application. You can use this action in cases where you want a full-context switch from one application to another. Use this action in scenarios where a full application is registering as a default handler.
bb.action.SET
Describes the request to set the associated content in a given context. For example, wallpaper, images of contacts, BlackBerry Messenger avatars, ring-tones, and so on.
bb.action.SHARE
