parse this url http://www.bing.com/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=xml&idx=0&n=10
as xml.
you can change value of N to change number of images.
Unfortunately the URL for the wallpaper changes everyday. The only way to would be to scrape the HTML of the page and find where it references the image.
Another similar method would be to use www.istartedsomething . com / bingimages, a site which archives the Bing images. They provide a RSS feed via feedburner for more easy scraping: http://feeds.feedburner.com/bingimages

In the PWA, I would like to give a feature where it will show user's mobile number and after tapping on call button within PWA, actual mobile call should get triggered.
I couldn't find any reference or documentation for this. Please let me know how to achieve this action ?
If you want to link a phone number, it's really similar to linking a regular website:
+1 (555) 555-1234
This works for websites in general, there is nothing special about it being in a PWA.
If you want even more information about telephone links, this article is pretty good: https://css-tricks.com/the-current-state-of-telephone-links/
It's from 2016 so browser support is even better. There's a bunch of info in there about SEO and country codes as well.
How to Access Particular website like (eventful.com) API in Phonegap using Xml Parsing, For eg I will press search button by texting like "Banglore" in my phonegap means it retrieve events in banglore from eventful website.please give a simple and clear demo using some sample websites. Thanks in advance
Is there a way to link to directions in the iPhone map app from a html page?
We're placing an add in an iPhone app which will link to a mobile page on our website - we'd like to add a directions link, thus far google searches have been unrevealing.
A link to http://maps.google.com/maps will automatically open in the map application
You can set a destination address (daddr) and start address (saddr) in the link:
http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=San+Francisco,+CA&saddr=cupertino
You can see some more options at:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/MapLinks/MapLinks.html
Here is a javascript function that creates the link:
function mapLink(myAddress) {
return 'http://maps.google.com/maps?q='+escape(myAddress);
}
This works great on the iPhone.
If you use the standard link that would display a map in the browser, it will automatically open in Google Maps on the device. That includes links that show directions.
Use something like:
<a href='maps:daddr=<destination>&saddr=Current%20Location'>Directions</a>
where may be a lat/lon pair (separated by a comma) or a place. Ensure you URI encode the destination to ensure it works.
If you visit maps.google.com on a mobile device, then press 'Menu', 'Get Directions', and select the 'transit' option, you are taken to a page where you can enter two locations and a date/time, and get directions on public transit. However, the URL is still maps.google.com.
Is there any way to link directly to this page so that I can load it in a UIWebView in my iOS app? Would 'clicking' the buttons in Javascript be (the only/a good) solution?
Try: http://www.google.com/transit
Even clicking the buttons in javascript doesn't seem to be working. The Google Maps code is a little strange- the event listeners aren't assigned directly and I can't get a .click() to work. So what I'll do is have the user enter the two locations in boxes in the app, then load something like http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Coover+Hall&daddr=lied+rec+center in the UIWebView, except I'll add some more specific location information before building the URL, since this is a city-specific app. Not a perfect solution but it gets the job done.
You could create a URL that links to the transit directions with the "dirflg=r" paramater.
Find the other URL parameters here: http://web.archive.org/web/20110714031648/http://mapki.com/wiki/Google_Map_Parameters
We have an existing web page which lets users upload images to the server. We would like to stretch it out so that iphone users can also upload images in this web form. Any ideas or third party tools?
I also found http://www.cliqcliq.com/support/quickpic/ but there no sample in coldfusion.
Thanks!
