Does TweetDeck or Seesmic have a custom URL scheme that can be used within an iPhone application? If so, what are the structures of these URL schemes?
As far as I know TweetDeck doesn't have one (I've had users ask for this in my app). Seesmic has quite a complex one.
See here for a list of other URL schemes.
TweetDeck's URL scheme is very limited...
Open the TweetDeck Home column tweetdeck://
Open the TweetDeck Me column tweetdeck://mentions
Open the TweetDeck Inbox column tweetdeck://directs
Open to the search panel tweetdeck://search
Open a search for "badgers" tweetdeck://search?q=badgers

The URL that I see in my browser is:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/665545990268762/
But it should have a human readable URL. Something like:
https://www.facebook.com/EntrepreneurialMums/
I need to know what it is because I need to put it on a sign.
How do I find out?
And why am I seeing this number URL?
AFAIK, you only get a readable URL in a Facebook group if you select one. An administrator can set it under Group Settings -> Web and Email Address
I believe facebook automatically assigns groups numbers like this. If you would like it to be human readable, then I would recommend using goo.gl or any of the other popular url shorteners. (I recommend goo.gl because it allows you to track clicks, if you are logged in when the short url is created). I would recommend using this in conjunction with a qr code.
I'm writing an iPhone web app using HTML5/CSS3. I need to embed a link to open a built-in maps app from my web app. To open a location on the map I redirect mobile Safari to URL like this:
http://maps.google.com?q=Business+Name%26+Street+Address+City+State+Zip
In this case if a user taps on this link the iPhone opens up the maps app and displays the location specified in the URL.
But when I need to provide a URL for driving directions to a predefined location:
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=1234+1st+ave+portland+or&daddr=Business+Name%26+Street+Address+City+State+Zip
I've encountered a strange situation when in some cases the iPhone displays a pupup message:
Open this page in "Maps"?
with a choice of yes and no, and only if a user taps Yes, the maps opens up with directions. Note that this popup shows only for some addresses.
Is there any way to prevent this popup from showing at all?
I've created simple web page. Put a link and set google map link with query string value of particular address on src attribute of link element,run it to my iPhone 4.It is working fine, I'm not getting any window to ask it open on map app.
I noticed that you've used "saddr" as a query string parameter. You can replace that with "q" query string parameter.
I have seen when you visit a profile on FB and click on link provided in
Contact Information --> Website
Facebook first take you to url format mentioned below
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nwaonfire.com%2F&h=BAQByDCFo
and then takes you to the site .
My question is why facebook does so, Iam asking because there is a place in my application where iam allowing users to enter website urls.
...and the reason for facebook using the mentioned link instead of linking directly to http://www.nwaonfire.com is that facebook is evil.
They want to know which links are popular, where their users are going and where the link came from.
I also see a format as http://www.facebook.com/l/BAQByDCFo/www.nwaonfire.com where the BAQByDCFo is a hash value.
URL encoding is done so that a second URL can be placed within the first's query string without breaking the original URL. For example, implying directory structure by using the "/" character or breaking out of name value pair by using "&". If you're going to be embedding a URL as a query string parameter, you must encode it first. How you do this will differ depending on the language you're working with but most web based frameworks have a native or library based function to easily do this.
I know that I have seen something like this in somewhere...But no remember where.
Does somebody know what are the features of a smartphone(iphone, android, blackberry) that I can access from a Web Browser?
In some place I had see a list of links that can access different features of the phones(too many).
I mean, I know some things like:
Link Text
Link Text
Link Text
but, is it there something like:
Link Text ???? OR
Link Text ????
Thank for your answers!!
For iOS, it all works via a system called URL Schemes. Checkout this website which even builds the right link for you in HTML.
When a user tries to bookmark one of my pages, I really want it to bookmark a different URL (in my case a tel:// URL -- on the iPhone). Is there a meta tag or something I can use to specify that the browser bookmark an alternate URL?
Sure you can, here is how you can do it:
For exemple:
Click here to add my site to your bookmark.
Does this help you ?
