My aim is to open a map application from ios application with directions, I am able to open maps application but it is not showing directions, i have written the code as follows
NSString *mystr=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"http://maps.apple.com/maps?saddr=Current+Location&daddr=Newyork"];
NSURL *myurl=[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:mystr];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:myurl];
Can any one please help me how figure out how to pass parameters to this url and any other?
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(self.location.latitude,self.location.longitude);
//create MKMapItem out of coordinates
MKPlacemark* placeMark = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:coordinate addressDictionary:nil];
MKMapItem* destination = [[MKMapItem alloc] initWithPlacemark:placeMark];
if([destination respondsToSelector:#selector(openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:)])
{
//using iOS6 native maps app
if(_mode == 1)
{
[destination openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:#{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey:MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeWalking}];
}
if(_mode == 2)
{
[destination openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:#{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey:MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving}];
}
if(_mode == 3)
{
[destination openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:#{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey:MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeTransit}];
}
} else{
//using iOS 5 which has the Google Maps application
NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Current+Location&daddr=%f,%f", self.location.latitude, self.location.longitude];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]];
}
If you mean taking the user to the maps application based on two points, then you can do it like this:
Create an NSURL that looks like this:
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f"];
You plug in your starting address and destination (in lat. and long.) appropriately.
Tell your application to open the URL
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:URL];
It should take you to the maps application automatically!
Im trying to open Instagram from my own application, trying to get a list of photos tagged with "brazil". But Instagram isnt opening. Please see code snippet here.

// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
//Load URL
NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"instagram://tag?name=brazil"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:instagramURL];

Thanks in advance!
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.

I'm wanting to create a link in my application that essentially will be labelled "Take Me Home". When pressed, I want it to open Apple Maps, route from current location to home, and start turn by turn navigation.
I have found this scheme, but it does not do everything I was hoping for:
http://maps.apple.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f
Here is a working code for opening Maps with routes (including the option to show Google maps for iOS5)
-(IBAction)showMapApp:(id)sender
{
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(self.location.latitude,self.location.longitude);
//create MKMapItem out of coordinates
MKPlacemark* placeMark = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:coordinate addressDictionary:nil];
MKMapItem* destination = [[MKMapItem alloc] initWithPlacemark:placeMark];
if([destination respondsToSelector:#selector(openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:)])
{
//using iOS6 native maps app
if(_mode == 1)
{
[destination openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:#{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey:MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeWalking}];
}
if(_mode == 2)
{
[destination openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:#{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey:MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving}];
}
if(_mode == 3)
{
[destination openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:#{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey:MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving}];
}
} else{
//using iOS 5 which has the Google Maps application
NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Current+Location&daddr=%f,%f", self.location.latitude, self.location.longitude];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]];
}
}
Use this For me its working fine::
NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://maps.apple.com/maps?saddr=44.521358,11.374080&daddr=44.518640,11.362665"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]];
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];
}
