Launch an app from ibooks

Some apps have files associated with the app, so if the file was included in an email and the user touched it the app would launch and load the file. Is it possible to embed one of these files in an ibook so that when the reader touches it the app will launch from ibooks and load the file?

There is no provision for including other files with a book.
If you need such abliity, consider making an app instead.

How do you launch an app from a shell?

how do you launch an app from a shell? how about an example... say, launch the texteditor app.

To open an app from the terminal use the command open followed by the fullpath pf the command.
So for TextEdit you would enter
open /Applications/TextEdit.app

Error when launching promoted app from RemoteAPP

Hi:
We are receiving this error when launching any application from RemoteAPP, we tried promoting Calculator, Notepad, etc. and received the same error as well.
"Personalization:
This theme can't be applied to the desktop.
Try clicking a different theme"
Help!
Thank you,
Stangride

If you launch the app directly from the session hosts using the same account that your using with remoteapp what are you getting? Try and RDP to the session host when you attempt it. I would also check rsop.msc to see if you have any GPO or scripts that
are manipulating themes.

Launch another app from Siena app

As it's not possible to launch a map in Siena, I'm hoping that I can pass an address out of Siena to the native Maps app in Windows 8. Is that possible? I can't find any documentation on how to open other apps from my app.

Nice,
Now we can launch browser, Skype, bing maps
Sidenote: You need then to be sure that the user has the map app (or Skype) installed and all associations are correct. So at least best to write it in the prerequisites when moving to the app store.
If you just want to add maps, you can also insert them directly in the app as static maps. I've explained that in

The interactive nature is not present of course
Or you could use the static google map api

Cannot launch FocPro app from SGD Webtop

Dear forum users,
My customer uses a FoxPro application for their IT heldesk. Basically they installed the application to their own PCs and able to launch the app.
Behaviour of FoxPro IT Helpdesk app:
- User login to windows Desktop.
- User will double-click My Computer and check if the Shared Network drive is connect ( Drive F ). Drive F contains the IT Helpdesk Database.
- Then user will click, Start, Program, and launch their app.
From SGD Windows Application Object:
Name: IT Helpdesk Client
Command path: C:\telbruapp\helpdesk\telbru.exe
Note: The rest of the setting are defaults.
From a Firefox browser:
- Launch browser and point URL to SGD.
- Enter username and password.
- On the left panel, click the IT Helpdesk Client app( I saw connection activity to Windows Server( blue back ground ) and the application did not launch and also i saw the error message " .ini file missing! Can't continue....(Network) ".
Note: I think, when i click the IT Helpdesk Client from SGD, the SGD straight-away connect and launch the app WITHOUT waiting the Drive F to connect. The app required the Drive F.
Can anyone help me on this ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mohamed Ali.

Hi Remold,
Tks again for replying my post message.
I have solved the FoxPro problem.
Customer installed their FoxPro client app in Terminal Server and has created two users( user1 and user2 ). As in my previous post, i had mentioned the app required Network Shared Disk(Drive F) to connect bcos the database is in Drive F.
So, i RDP to TS1 and logged in as user1. I also created "Map Network Drive"
the Drive F and save the password.
Then, i RDP to TS1 and logged as user2 and did the same as for user1.
After that, i configured SGD's Windows Application Object and entered the full app path in App Command. Also in Advanced tab, i edit -dir "C:\telbruapp\helpdesk".
Now, from customer PC and laptop, user launched browser and login using their IDs and they can successfully launch the app.
Important: Previously in TS1, user2 does not have the Drive F access. So, i had created it and save the Network password.
Thanks Remold for your HELP and Guidance.
Really appreciated your help.
Regards,
Mohamed Ali.

How to launch an app from Java in Mac OSX?

I would like to launch another application from my Java code which will run on OS X. Doesn anyone know how to do this? I think it involves the "Runtime.getRuntime.exec()" method, but I'm not sure how to tell it which application to launch.
Thanks

I dont know about OSX but i can give you a generalized
solution. In all OS's there will be a way to get to
command prompt. It is not really true: MacOS is one noticeable exception! Version 9, like every previous one, was completely extraneous to the notion of "command prompt", because the Macintosh, since its origin to nowadays, has been a "fanatically" User-Centric system: everything is iconic. A side effect of this approach is that MacOS was a pretty hard platform for low-level developers...
In MacOSX things have dramatically changed: this OS is a powerful Unix-like one, with the beautiful dress that only a Mac can wear: and finally, all you Mac users, here it is: the shell!
Of course, in MacOSX (and in MacOS "classic" too) there are paths and executable files.
MacOS1-9 file-system was a very peculiar one: resource fork and data fork for every file, ":" as path components separator (but what "common" user has ever seen a Macintosh path?) and so on.
MacOSX will use an Unix-like filesystem, I guess (I'm not a Mac user, I like every OS for its beauties - and therefore dislike Microsoft products even if often they give me bread).
But the key question is: how do I tell the runtime which file it has to execute?
Fortunately, every modern SO I know adopts a hyerarchical organization of its files. So, indipendently of what is considered the "root" ("C:\", "/" or whatever else), you can "trace" a relative path from your current path (if you use an Unix or URL idiom, "./") and the file you want to reach.
So, if your java app ("JavaApp.class") is placed in a folder called "MyJavaApp", nested in another folder called "Programs" that you see when you click on the "MacHD" icon, and you can manually launch the Mac app you're interested in clicking on an icon called "MyMacApp Program", placed in a folder called "MyMacApp", nested in another folder called "Programs" that you see when you click on the "MacHD" icon (it's the same folder we said before :-) ), using Unix or URL sintax we have that:
your java application is at: [...]/MacHD/Programs/MyJavaApp/JavaApp.class
the Mac application is at:
[...]/MacHD/Programs/MyMacApp/MyMacApp Program
The relative path from the former to the latter is, therefore:
../MyMacApp/MyMacApp
where two dots ("..") are the symbol for "parent folder".
If the situation is similar to above, the code to launch MyMacApp should be something like this:
import java.io.File;
File currentDir=new File("");
//supposing that double dot (..) is the symbol for "parent folder"
Runtime.getRuntime(
     new File(currentDir,".."
     +File.separator
     +"MyMacApp"
     +File.separator
     +"MyMacApp Program"
     ).getAbsolutePath()
in a more portable fashion - if you're not sure ".." works
(? who cares? we're launching a native app :-)) )
Runtime.getRuntime(
     new File(currentDir.getParent(),
     "MyMacApp"
     +File.separator
     +"MyMacApp Program"
     ).getAbsolutePath()
);Hope it works... good work!

Any solution for Launching Air Apps from Sandboxed Chrome and Safari Browsers?

Before we go and build our own plug-in (Ugh!)...
As of early this year, we could no longer launch our Air application from Chrome. Now Safari (with Mavericks) has Sandboxed Flash with their browser and it will no-longer launch our application.
Does anyone have any helpful advice (beyond building our own plug-in)?
Thanks,
Leo

For the Chrome issue, I added instructions on how to manually enable an exception so that the plugin could run. The easier way to get it working is to have them install an Air app from the browser using a Flash badge. This didn't work for us since our app needs a native installer. Another option is to have our user install another Air app from our site. The exception is created for the site and the Air plugin so even though it would be a different app, once they allowed the plugin on our site, we could launch the natively installed app after that.
I just discovered the Safari sandbox issue on Mavericks. I haven't tried either of these approaches on Safari yet. Is it the AdobeAAMDetect plugin in Safari settings that needs to be allowed?

Launch metro app from batch?

Not sure if this is the right area for this, however running on Windows 8.1. I am wondering if there is a way thru a batch or scheduled task to launch a metro app? It has no protocol association in the registry that I can see. Basically
have an app that is having some sporadic network issues and running as a background task. Not tied to direct user use so what I'm asking won't impact anything directly. Looking for a way to take this metro app, and close and re-launch it say every
15 minutes, so in the event a network error happens, which we can't detect in the app, it will be closing the app and launching it anyway so will resolve itself in a fair duration of time. Short term solve until we figure out what's the real problem
though can't find any information how to launch this app like you could with a standard executable.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Steve

Need to 'launch' AIR app from SD card on Samsung Galaxy TABLET...

April/28/11 at 3pm ET
Hi to the group...
Not 100% sure if this is proper forum to ask this, if anyone knows a better one please point me to it via ([email protected])
Ok. Trying to see if my working .AIR app will run on my pals Samsung Tablet (before I buy one for myself)...
Dropped the 'AIR' file onto the SD card (I can see it (the AIR file, size correct) via the fileBrowser app but clicking it does nothing.
Of note AIR is installed in background of the device and it is running.
Cant see/find an 'Adobe AIR launcher?' icon' anywhere (only see Adobe PDF browser).
In all my web searching I see 10000 developer related tutorials re: creating an APK file / converting to APK file using Flash Professional ect. Not what I am looking for...
I think I am missing something very basic here is there a launcher for AIR apps on Android?
TIA //GregH

Thank you for your post.
You cannot throw directly from your external device, however you can once that file is transferred to internal memory.

IPhone - launch settings app from my app?

Does anyone know how one can launch the settings application from your application?
You can see an example if you put the phone into airplane mode, and launch Google Maps - it shows a dialog box with a "Settings" button, which closes Maps, and launches the Settings app...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

It turns out that what you see in the AIM app is due to the setting in Info.plist that specifies the app requires persistent WiFi. When an app starts with no WiFi and this setting is enabled, the underlying framework pops up this alert. Unfortunately, AOL did not find the magic chant to allow an app to call the Settings app. This code is part of the underlying framework. Bummer.

Launching Native Apps From Flash App??

Hey,
I'm developing an app that utilizes the google maps api along with geolocation and I would like to call the iPhone Maps application to allow for getting directions. Has anyone had success in doing something similar?
Thanks!

Thanks, that's a good solution except that I need to
pass a dynamic parameter (a session token for
authentication).You can give command line arguments
../javaws URL -Dfoo -D bar
which can also be provided via a JNLP file:
<application-desc>
    <argument>-Dfoo</argument>
    <argument>-D</argument>
    <argument>bar</argument>
<application-desc/>
I've verified that I can launch a JNLP file from
Windows that can pass a parameter to the application.
Now I just need to find out if there are any gotchas
with that approach, like with Solaris.You can do the same kind of shell launch under Linux, so I expect it is also possible under Solaris.

Marc

Open another app from iBooks

I am making a textbook for my students using iBooks Author. I would like to create a link that opens another presentation app (Qwiki) for further information. Every time I make a hyperlink, iBooks puts http:// in front of the link, which will not allow the Qwiki app to open.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think you're stuck w/http://, sorry.

Launching Web App from externally...HELP!!

hi everyone,
I am using the application server 8.2 that is bundled with JSC2. I was wondering if there was a tutorial anywhere, or if someone can describe a procedure, for giving access to a web application from outside ther server's network.
Currently, our app server is running on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. We have routers and firewalls that have configured to allow access to the certain ports on the server.
How do i tell the server to redirect requests to my application's home page when accesses across the internet. Right now, the only way i know how to access the application is either using http://localhost ... or the server's IP address. this only allows access from the server itself or from a PC on the same network as ther server.
I have other similar posts as this in this section and the seciton for JSC2. they have gone unanswered.
thank you all!

So what you're saying is that when the network admins allow external access to server by congifuring the routers and firewalls, i should be able to access the application using the static IP address with the app's name? there would be nothing to configure in app server 8.2?
many thanks!!

Citrix receiver throws "ssl initialisation error 8" when launching citrix apps from firefox on Windows

Hi all,
I recently switched over to mozilla firefox from google chrome as Google has now disabled NPAPI and thus allowing me the inability to launch citrix applications.
I have installed the latest version of firefox and have the latest version of citrix receiver. When i login to my citrix site and try to launch the citrix applications, nothing happens. When i manually launch the ica file, i receive the error. "Unable to connect to the Xenapp server. SSL initialisation error 8".
Please help as i need to get this up and running by this week.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ochen

Unfortunately we can't support plugins here. While still working (some of the time) in Firefox, NPAPI is officially considered legacy, and thus not supported, in Firefox.
I suggest working with Citrix or using Internet Explorer to run XenApps.
