iOS Question Register Url Scheme

[aaronk]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to register a url scheme for the app so that I can open my B4i App from another app ?

 

[Erel]

Yes.

Add this attribute:

#UrlScheme: my.unique.scheme

Add this sub:

Sub Application_OpenUrl (Url As String, Data As Object) As Boolean
   Log("Received Url: " & Url)
   Return True
End Sub

You can now start your app with:

Application.OpenUrl("my.unique.scheme://HereYouCanAddAnyTextYouLike")

How do I register URL scheme so that http://mydomain/xyz URLs are opened with my app?

Hi,

just create a index.php in the xyz directory and set the following code:

<?php
$ipad = (bool) strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'iPad');
$iphone = (bool) strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'iPhone');

if ($iphone or $ipad ) {
header('location: my.unique.scheme://HereYouCanAddAnyTextYouLike');
}else{
echo("No iPhone or iPad");
}
?>

Thanks!

I understand that there is no direct way to register an app with http based scheme like in Android. It has to go through web page as described above.

Hello
There is a similar feature for Android?
thank you

Android you must use Intent. Search this in the Android forum.

$iphone = (bool) strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'iPhone');

header('location: my.unique.scheme://HereYouCanAddAnyTextYouLike');
}else{
echo("No iPhone or iPad");
}
?>

Is it possible if the app is not installed on the device direct to appstore ? What code we must add for that to php side ?

Check the answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...l-scheme-for-iphone-apps-like/1109200#1109200

The JavaScript opens the store page if the app is not opened after 25 milliseconds. Starting from iOS the user will see a dialog asking them whether they want to open the app so the interval should be larger.
