I want to use telprompt:// scheme to return to my application after it makes a call. But I have a problem.
If remote person is busy two buttons are shown to me: Redial and Cancel. So if I press Cancel I won't return to my application. Is there any way to handle it?
P. S. Isn't telprompt:// in Private API?
Here You can Use the WebView and Load Request on it.
UIWebView *callWebview = [[UIWebView alloc] init];
NSURL *telURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"tel://%#", phoneNumber]
[callWebview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:telURL]];
I am Sure It would work with Charm.....
I think you need:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"telprompt:%#",num]]];

I've a a pdf placed in my Code files. I want it to open in iBooks, while researching I've found this :
NSString *stringURL = #"itms-books:";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
NSString *stringURL = #"itms-bookss:";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
How can I use this or what other way i can open my PDF File in iBook?
Regards
Maybe too late but I created a small example where the method explained in andycodes used. I uploaded to Github and you can download it here:
https://github.com/cjimenezpacho/openpdfibooks
Basically is this piece of code in a IBAction and the required delegate methods:
NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
URLForResource: #"iPhoneintro" withExtension:#"pdf"];
self.docController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:url];
self.docController.delegate = self;
[self.docController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];
Links to Apple documentation:
Class:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIDocumentInteractionController_class/Reference/Reference.html
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"itms-bookss://%#",self.pathToFile]]];
this does open a local pdf to Ibooks needs 2 s's.
Edit: to be specific on this this will open the local PDF if it is in iBooks already locally on the device.
if you need to add it to iBooks so far as I know you need to use the UIDocumentInteractionController.
Take a look at this Tumblr post explaining how do achieve a similar result using UIDocumentInteractionControllers.

The page I want to open using twitter app:
https://twitter.com/#!/PAGE
To open twitter app I use the following code:
NSURL *urlApp = [NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", #"twitter://https://twitter.com/#!/PAGE"]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:urlApp];
But this code doesn't seem to work as expected, I got only twitter app launched without the page which i want to show.
You are looking for the following url:
twitter:///user?screen_name=PAGE
Note that Twitter is not installed on all devices. You should check the result of openURL method. If it fails, open the page in Safari with regular url.
The following code opens twitter page on twitter app if it is already installed, otherwise opens twitter on safari:
NSURL *twitterURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"twitter://user?screen_name=username"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:twitterURL])
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:twitterURL];
else
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.twitter.com/username"]];
Don't forget to replace 'username' with your name.
I know its quite a late response to this question and I agree that, Murat's answer is absolutely correct.
Simply add a check as follows:
NSURL *urlApp = [NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", #"twitter:///user?screen_name=PAGE]];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:urlApp]){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:urlApp];
}
I hope this helps someone. Cheers!! :)
This is the full code required in Swift. I am using Swift 4 but i believe it is the same for Swift 3.
let Username = "YOUR_USERNAME_HERE"
let appURL = NSURL(string: "twitter:///user?screen_name=\(Username)")!
let webURL = NSURL(string: "https://twitter.com/\(Username)")!
let application = UIApplication.shared
if application.canOpenURL(appURL as URL) {
application.open(appURL as URL)
} else {
// if Twitter app is not installed, open URL inside Safari
application.open(webURL as URL)
}
Don't forget to add the Info keys needed to use canOpenURL:
#Alexey: If you just want to know how to launch twitter from your application do this:
NSURL *urlApp = [NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", #"twitter://"]];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:urlApp]){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:urlApp];
}else{
UIAlertView *appMissingAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Twitter App Not Installed!" message:#"Please install the Twitter App on your iPhone." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"Ok",nil];
[appMissingAlertView show];
[appMissingAlertView release];
}
I want to open an iTunes link in my webView, but when the webView launches the page, it redirects to the Safari browser. There, the url is getting opened, but I want it to open in my webView.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
NSString *urlAddress = #"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/foodcheck-traffic-light-nutrition/id386368933?mt=8";
//Create a URL object.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
//URL Requst Object
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
//Load the request in the UIWebView.
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Please suggest a way to sort out this problem.
You may want to try logging the load requests when you run the app. It may be that apple is automatically changing http:// to itms-apps or http://phobos or something along these lines. If so, then you can block the load when it's call using something like this:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView
shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType;
{
NSURL *loadURL = [[request URL] retain];
NSLog(#"%#",loadURL);
if([[loadURL absoluteString] hasPrefix:#"http://"])
{
[loadURL release];
return TRUE;
}
[loadURL release];
return FALSE;
}
Good luck. I'm curious to know what finally works.
A note from the Apple reference documents- Q: How do I launch the App Store from my iPhone application? Also, how do I link to my application on the store?
Note: If you have iTunes links inside
a UIWebView, you can use this
technique after intercepting the links
with the -[UIWebViewDelegate webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:]
delegate method.
Not sure if you ever got it working, but this works well for me:
NSString *responseString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:myURL];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:responseString baseURL: nil)];
HI.. I have to show directions between two coordinates. I'd like to open Maps app, passing the start and end coordinates from my code.
I don't want to open it in the Google maps, which opens in browser(Safari). I tried that method. That was working perfect.
NSString* urlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f", s_lat, s_long, d_lat, d_long];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]];
But, I want to open iPhone Maps app. How can i do this? Is this possible? Any help will be appreciated.
Try it on a real device. I'm using the same code and it opens Safari at the simulator and iPhone Maps at the device.
Hey Simon the method you are using is
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]];
will only open safari.So there is no chance that with open url you would open a diiferent thing.You can use the UIWebView for this and then load the webview with the url.I think that would be the simple thing like this
views=[[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[views setBackgroundColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];
NSString* urlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f", s_lat, s_long, d_lat, d_long];
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr];
NSURLRequest *req=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
//[views loadHTMLString:googlePage baseURL:requestURL];
[views loadRequest:req];
self.view=views;
And if you even don't want to use this then then you can use the MapKit provided in your XCode Frameworks.Hope this would help you.
I have a text label with the text set as Contact Us.. When user taps on this label it should launch safari to open the web page.My doubt is how to make Contact Us as hyperlink.Now I can't modify my code to include a UIWebView..Please help me guys..I am in final stages of my project..If possible please help me with sample code..thanks for all your time
The easiest way is to make the UILabel into a UIButton, style it (use Custom type to get rid of button look). Then connect to an Action that opens safari.
The action should do this:
NSURL *url = [[[ NSURL alloc ] initWithString: #"http://www.example.com" ] autorelease];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
for XOS use NSWorkspace instead:
- (IBAction)btnPressed:(id)sender {
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: #"https://www.google.com"];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:url];
}
