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
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/45b2ffe3-4d57-4b4c-94a4-75d299a03e62/how-to-add-a-bing-map-with-pins-to-a-siena-project?forum=projectsiena
The interactive nature is not present of course
Or you could use the static google map api

Facebook from contacts launching another app in. iOS 6

Having updated to iOS 6 I updated my contacts from Facebook. However in the contact card if I touch the Facebook entry I do not get directed to Facebook, instead it launches the Premier Inn app. Any ideas?

You are not alone!! I have exactly the same issue. Been in contact with apple support since last week, their engineers are looking into it apparently, be interesting to see what the outcome is. At present they say they cannot recreate this at apple, this seems strange as I tried by restoring phone with clean ios6 and just facebook and premier inn app on the phone. Still happens!! Glad someone else has the same issue as me, look forward to apple's fix!!

Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip--> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
Somebody, please help!

Phil, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism. That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7. Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator. I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed. Jon

Launching another application from Palm KVM

Hi, is there anyway where I can pass a string variable to another application on the palm using the KVM?

[axlrose82],
Do you mean mulitple MIDlets app running on the Palm? Currently J2ME does not support multiple MIDlets running on a kVM i.e. only one MIDlet per kVM.
If you are looking at passing the string variable information for later use by another MIDlet, one solution that we can suggest is for you to store the string variable object on to the persistent storage mechanism of CLDC/MIDP i.e. the RMS persistent store.
Is this what you are asking?

Launching another prog from java prog

Hi!
I'm striving to format floppy disk from a java prog.
format, like many other commands/applications, sends some messages back to the terminal and waits for user input. I need to handle communication with such programs.
So far it doesn't go smooth - please look at the code below, there must be number of bugs:private static void execute(String command) // command="cmd.exe /c format A:"; (Win2k)
     try {
     String outp_line;
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
     // put process input in BufferedReader
     BufferedReader normalBR =
          new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
     // "format A:" on win2k sends to console 2 lines:
     // 1. Insert disk in drive A:
     // 2. and press ENTER
     // but I see only one(first) line. Why?
     while ((outp_line = normalBR.readLine()) != null)
                    System.out.println(outp_line);
     // assign an output stream to the process
     BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
     // assign input from user to BufferedInputStream
     byte[] bytes = new byte[12];
     BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(System.in, 12);
     // read user's input
     bis.read(bytes);
     // write user's input to the process
     bos.write(bytes);
     }catch(IOException ioex){ioex.printStackTrace();}

Don't know about the first thing, but I saw this in the API:
"The Runtime.exec methods may not work well for special processes on certain native platforms, such as native windowing processes, daemon processes, Win16/DOS processes on Microsoft Windows, or shell scripts. The created subprocess does not have its own terminal or console. All its standard io (i.e. stdin, stdout, stderr) operations will be redirected to the parent process through three streams (Process.getOutputStream(), Process.getInputStream(), Process.getErrorStream()). The parent process uses these streams to feed input to and get output from the subprocess. Because some native platforms only provide limited buffer size for standard input and output streams, failure to promptly write the input stream or read the output stream of the subprocess may cause the subprocess to block, and even deadlock."
I'd suggest googling for a workaround.
Re: the second item, I think another thread makes sense. Perhaps a thread that reads all the error output and stores it in a buffer, which could then be queried.

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!

Can Java start another App & return to Java after closing?

Cannot launch another application in Mac OS X 10.8 using NSWorkspace launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error

I am launching another app using NSWorkspace launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error.
The app is owned by root, has permission: rwx r-x r-x, and owned by root:wheel.
The app is also located in /Applications folder (e.g. /Application/MyApp.app).
According to the following link under the "Launching Helpers with Launch Services" section:http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/AppSan dboxDesignGuide/AppSandboxInDepth/AppSandboxInDepth.html
I should be able to launch my app because the following condition is met:
The app is installed in /Applications and the app bundle and all contents are owned by root.
When launching the app, I get the following error:
"The application “MyApp” could not be launched because it is corrupt."
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10827.)"
Which is, according to the same link, the error when none of the conditions have been met.
Note that I am using Mac OS X 10.8. In Mac OS X 10.7.5, I don't encounter the same issue.
Note also that I am trying to run the app "MyApp" inside a sandboxed application.
I tried using 2 builds of "MyApp", but in both builds, the issue can be replicated:
Code-signed (using a self-signed certificate)
Not code-signed
What seems to be the problem? Am I missing something?

Yes, but it also says in the apple documentation that:
A sandboxed app is allowed to launch a helper using Launch Services if at least one of these conditions has been met
Even if I did not pass the condition:
Both the app and helper pass the Gatekeeper assessment. By default that means both are signed by the Mac App Store or with a Developer ID.
I am pretty sure that the following condition has been met:
The app is installed in /Applications and the app bundle and all contents are owned by root.

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
When launched normally the icons have no colors.
Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

another experiment.
When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
Reasons for color are;
* An old version
* An add-on by way of a Theme
* The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows

Launching another iOS AIR app from iOS AIR App

Hi
Ideally we would like to be able to launch another AIR iOS from our AIR iOS. Is it possible to do this with AIR? I understand you can do it natively. We would also need to pass a few parameters: such as authentication ID and a URL.
Potentially we need to be able to do this in Android too.
Thanks
Ben

Yes. you can have following chunk in your infoAdditions
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
   <array>
    <dict>
     <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
     <array>
      <string>appA</string>
     </array>
    </dict>
   </array>
then from another AIR iOS application you can call navigateToURL("appA://thisDataWillBeReceivedByAppA")
I have written an Article which lets AIR iOS applications implement Facebook Single Sign-On It uses the same techniques. You can follow http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/10/facebook-single-sign-on-for-air-ios.html for more details.
Thanks,

If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.

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.
