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!!

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

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. -
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 24.6.0another 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 -
Adobe Air Application, launch Another Uninstall.exe on Uninstall of Air App
Hello,
how can i launch anothe uninstall.exe when my air application is about to be uninstalled?
this is needed because the air package does not include the data that is needed by the application
the application will be delivered on cd rom ... we have an uninstaller ready, but if the user chooses
to deinstall the application through software->deinstall the data remains on the harddisk, which is not
nice, and could be solved by simply run the provided uninstall.exe created during installaiton process
any help is very appreciated!
thx
ckAfter futher investigation, I have isolated the line that causes the crash
in the NetConnectionChannel constructor
public function NetConnectionChannel(id:String = null, uri:String = null)
super(id, uri);
_nc = new NetConnection(); //ADL Crashes/Hangs on this line
_nc.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF3;
_nc.client = this;
Oddly, this only happens in the second adapter module instance that is created.
And as stated above, this error is not thrown in the release AIR runtime.
I'll update this thread if I discover any more details. -
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
BenYes. 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,

When you click on an event to get the full details in a separate window, like a phone number for the meeting, if you move to another app like Skype the details window hides and you cannot look at the comments.
This is kind of annoying.It's not iDVD that opens when you insert a burned DVD, It's DVD Player. Set the Apple preferences to igonre when inserting a video DVD. You will have to launch DVD Ripper manually and locate and open the VOB folder on the DVD disk.

Renew subscription EVERY time I launch an app??
Hey guys, I was asked by the AdobeCare Twitter Account to post my issue in this forum, so here I am:
I recently subscribed to a Adobe CC membership and everything worked fine when I had the CS6.
Now since the CC Versions were released, I wanted to update of course. So I did.
Since then I am constantly haveing the same issue: I can not launch an app without having to do so many steps!
Here is what I have to do in order to open up any app (I have to do this EVERY time I launch an app..meaning when I open PS I do this, when I open ID I do this etc)
1) I click on the icon of the app (in this example PS)
2) I get the following "error":
(it is asking me to renew my subscription)
3) I click on "try again" and I get this message:
(it says "Thank you, your subscription for CC is now activated")
4) I click on "Continue" and get this message (again):
So I click on "Do you have another Adobe-ID?" and get to see this window:
... where I type in my Password and click on "Sign in" resulting in this:
and finally after clicking on "accept" in this:
...which basically is the same windows I get to see right at the beginning.
At this point I want to mention again that I have to do this e v e r y t i m e I start an app, for each app I have to run through all of these steps and if I close an app by accident and re-open it, I have to do this again.
I already tried to delete that file in the OOBE folder, did not work out.
Also, I am lacking all the presets in Premiere Pro (Digital DSLR etc) which makes me think, that all of my apps are running in trial mode..? At least I had this issue, when I launched Premiere as a trial in the past.
Don't get me wrong..But this is totally annoying and kills my workflow.
Any help? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks and greets from Germany!
DaniloOn the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.

Suddenly iphoto gives me error message 'your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable'. What can I do?
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Button to launch another application
what is js for launching another applicatoin?
I found this:
To add script to open a user-specified PDF file
Add the following script to the Open button:
app.openDoc(FilePath.rawValue);
In the help section under "Opening an application from a form". This
wouldn't seem to fit what you want for 2 reasons.
1. The example requires the user to input the path of the file into
a text field
2. It doesn't work. I get a js error saying that security settings
prevent access to that method
If you can get around the security settings and the path to the
application is a known quantity for your prospective users, I would
think you could hard code in the path on the click event. The problem
is getting around the security settings.
addendum:
I'm able to get another Adobe pdf to open with this script but so far
nothing else. -
Launching another VM instance using Runtime.exec()
Hi,
I have two separate Swing applications, say A and B. I need to launch B from A using Runtime.exec() - essentially I am launching another VM instance from one VM. I am encountering strange problems - B's main window comes up, but GUI doesn't update; sometimes B comes up and GUI updates, but huge memory leaks happen. All the problems with B go away once A is shut down. It almost looks like both the instances of VM are sharing (or competing for) the event thread. Any comments will be of great help. Thanks.
note: There is no problem launching B if A is a console java application (i.e. no Swing GUI).I have recently had the same problem, especially with the part where it seems like the two applications are sharing or competing for the same event thread. Sometimes my application B hangs like it is stuck waiting for an event. Sometimes I can get it to unhang by moving the app window around or minimizing it. If it does break free, all the queued events occur in rapid succession. Anybody have any clue what's going on here? It's pretty annoying.

'not responding' when another app opens
iDVD 7.1.2
OS 10.9.4
iDVD runs fine until another app is launched. Then it's 'not responding' and I've given it up to a half hour to recover.
Activity monitor says it's regularly over 100%.
MacBook (Fall 2010).
Tossed cache.db and plist.
Other ideas please?Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
It the above doesn't help Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try iDVD there. Then reboot normally and try again. -
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.
ThanksI 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!
