App Tabs - opening links outside, and getting back to

So far as I can tell, App Tabs is a built-in version of Permatabs. In Permatabs, there were preferences you could set to open external links in a new tab, and also to right-click or set a keyboard shortcut to return to the "home" url for the tab. Is there any way to do this in App Tabs? I find myself being led away from the home url and having no easy way to go back other than quitting Firefox and restarting, which renders App Tabs pretty much useless. What am I missing?
Thanks

You may be opening one of the pages in the sidebar.
Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.<br />

Hi jon123_123,
I dont understand what you mean by opening PDF file in Adobe Air, that is platform.
You should try uninstall Adobe Reader and install Latest version of Adobe Reader with latest updates patches and check again.

IPad Air open links in apps

How to make the iPad open a link (from a website, from an email, from another app, from anywhere) in the correct app?
i.e. open in Etsy, Pinterest, Instagram...

Well, the way that I read it, it does answer the question, the OP talks about this occurring in apps as well.
"Is there a way to make the iphone open links in their appropriate app instead of in the web browser. It drives me INSANE! I click on a groupon link in my email and I am sent to safari where I get a pop up that says "download the groupon app." Same thing happens for many apps I use everyday. The Iphone isn't smart enough to open the links in the appropriate app?"
The feature has to be built into the app itself. At least that is what I get out of it, if I read the entire discussion all the way through. But I could be misinterpreting what is being stated.
Sorry, I do no social networking at all, so I can't speak about that. Actually, I do use LinkedIn in a very limited fashion and when I accept an invitation from my email, It does tell me to get the app, but I can close that window and then LinkedIn opens in Safari and I don't need the app.
That probably doesn't answer your question, but I did want to give it a try.

Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari?

Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari? Everything was fine until two days ago when it started opening them with Google App. I tried uninstalling Google but nothing has changed. It would not bother me at all but it takes Google a lifetime to open them where as Safari used to do it in a matter of seconds. I own an iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2.

How is it opening a website with the Google App if you uninstalled it?
Are you sure its the Google App, and not simply Safari opening in a Google search?
What exactly is happening?
Basically there is no way to change the default browser for opening links.
However, some apps like The Gmail App will open links within themselves or Chrome if it is installed and the option is enabled in the Gmail App settings.

Open local PDF inside Air iOS app

I am developing an AIR for iOS app for the iPad. My client would like the app to open a local PDF file within the app, rather than launching an external app (such as Adobe Reader). This is to give a seamless experience when using the app. I've seen that distriqt.com produce the 'PDF Reader' Native Extension based on www.vfr.org. VFR appears to have a series of interface controls that open along with the PDF, which I don't require. I emailed Distriqt a week ago to clarify, and have had no response.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to open a PDF inside an AIR iOS app?

I've managed to load a PDF successfully inside my AIR iOS app, using the code from http://thatsthaway.wordpress.com/201...1/#comment-102.
However, I've just come across a weird feature / bug when viewing a PDF using stagewebview. I have a PDF that contains several internal hyperlinks, each navigating to a page within the same PDF document. If I select any of the hyperlinks, they do jump to the intended pages. However, if I reselect the same hyperlink again, it no longer works. If I select a different hyperlink, and then reselect a previous link, it will then work, but if I select the same hyperlink twice in a row, without selecting a different hyperlink in between, the link fails to work. The PDF hyperlinks all work ok outside of my app, on both Windows desktop and an iPad, just not inside of the AIR app.
Any ideas?

Flash in HTML-based AIR app: Urls do not open

Hy there
Like the title states, I have a HTML-based AIR application, which embeds flash. This flash opens Links which should eventually open the default browser. For this I previously had to set the following property in my AIR application:
window.htmlLoader.navigateInSystemBrowser = true;
Like this the URL calls were forwarded to outside the application and then opened the webbrowser. We had successfully tested this on various systems.
However, now there are users of our application, who report that on their system (Including WinXP Professional SP3!) the websites do not open at all. When clicking on a link inside the app nothing happens.
Their system:
Hardware: Lenovo IdeaPad S12
Windows XP Home Edition v2002 Service pack 3
IE 7 (Version 7.0.5730.13)
Firefox 3.5.7
I had a look at the system and things like switching the default browser or re-installing Firefox did not work. Unfortunately this is a critical issue and kinda urgent so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thank you for reporting back and letting us know.
Chris

Is there a way to open the settings app from an air app on both iOS and android?

Since you can't change the notifications settings within the app, is there a way to simply open the settings app from an air app? like a link or something like that?

Even on iOS this has only recently been added by Apple for iOS 8 only using the line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];
So you would have to wrap this in an ANE and then again, only for iOS and only call it in iOS 8+

HTML window in AIR app can't open new window

Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...
We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no action
All three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.
How can we code the HTML so that we can display selected content in an HTML window inside the AIR app; but have selected hyperlinks invoke the user's standard web browser, or launch Adobe Reader, or play a video file etc?
Note, we understand how to do those things within AIR itself, but can't figure out how to achieve this from inside the HTML window in the app.

Hello,
As to "_blank" links:
this is long-standing lacking feature - as there is no introspection of event of such type - so it goes and could not be prevented. One could either handle all navigation with system browser (all links open in system external browser) or handle them in embedded browser - similar issue is bugging people using phoneGab with jQueryMobile - application eats all external links or none at all). There are solution for that including runtime introspection of DOM object to retrieve all anchor (a) tags in rendered document and attach custom click handler via host object like on complete:
var document:Object = html.htmlLoader.window.document;
if(!document && !document.hasOwnProperty("getElementsByTagName")) return;
var linksArray:Object = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
if(!linksArray) return;
var a:Object = null;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < linksArray.length; i++)
     a = linksArray[i];
     if(a)
          a.onclick = function(event:Object):Boolean
               if(event.target.hasOwnProperty("href") && event.target.hasOwnProperty("target"))
                    if(event.target.target != "_blank") return true;
                    flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.target.href));
               return false;
but if you have control on what content is provided you could take care of handling links depending on runtime feature detection that way in javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
     function handleClick(a)
          if(!window.runtime) return true;
          if(a.hasAttribute("target") && a.getAttribute("target") == "_blank")
               var href = a.getAttribute("href");
               var req = new window.runtime.flash.net.URLRequest(href);
               if(req) window.runtime.flash.net.navigateToURL(req);
          return false;
</script>
<a     href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="handleClick(this);">BBC</a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="handleClick(this);">Google</a>
(above could be scripted globally with help of jQuery for example for all links without much coding).
In 2.7 there is new event introduced to help with introspection so one could prevent event if link is internal and do whatever is expected in application:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
If you post some details on how PDF and video content is expected to be shown in html I'm sure someone would share some hints as well,

Open links from other apps in Private Browsing

When other Android apps open links in the default web browser, Firefox Mobile launches them in a normal new tab. How can I force these links to open in Private Browsing?

I'm not aware of a built-in way to do this: as far as I can see, Firefox for Android cannot be set to create new tabs automatically in private browsing mode. I took a quick look at the Add-ons site and didn't see a solution there, either. Hopefully you will get some more promising responses.

Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
Thanks in advance...
Mits

Thank you Thom for your reply...
from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

Adobe AIR apps won't open

I have all of the sudden had issues with all of my AIR applications. I recently tried installing 2 new ones and the icon will bounce in my dock for a few seconds before disappearing as if it were quitting before anything happened. Installations of the apps seem fine, but the app just won't open. Seesmic desktop told me that I could not update, as well. Something about checking my logs, but to my knowledge I haven't messed with AIR since I got Seesmic. Should I uninstall then reinstall?

Hi,
You might want to try reinstalling the AIR runtime to see if that helps. It would also be interesting to try installing a new AIR app (like tweetdeck for example) to see if that is also effected.

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!

Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.
