Parental (style) controls over open browser from Air app

Hi,
I've been asked an interesting question for a brief.
Say you've got an Air app running and you have a browser window open is there any way for the Air app to 'see' what URL you are on.
It's an app to stop the use of fraudulent web sites, so it would check against a database of flagged fraudulent sites and pop up an alert when the site is used.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Marvin.

Only if a Flash program in the web page actively sent the URL to the AIR app. I suppose you could also use some kind of browser extension but at that point, why use a separate AIR application?

Problem with opening browser from Java app.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please excuse me if I'm wrong. I'm trying to open an html page (it's a help file) from a Java application. I'm currently using java.awt.Desktop. browse(URI uri); which gets the job done, as long as I don't pass any parameters to the page. (e.g. http://www.site.com/site.html?param1=1). Doing that gives me an IOException. Is there a way to do this without using the JNLP API?

This is the file path copied directly from the browser's address bar:
file:///home/riaan/EMCHelp/Help.html?page=WorkFlowActivityCategory.html"{code}
Which causes the app to throw an exception, but when I change it to:
{code}file:///home/riaan/EMCHelp/Help.html{code}
it opens Help.html in the browser. That's why I thought that it might be the query that's a problem. Perhaps it's a simple issue of not escaping a character or something that I failed to see.

Windows Explorer Right Click - Open file in Air App

I have an AIR App that I made to run on my desktop. It is used for editing specifc XML files. I want to know if its possible to setup so that I can right click on an XML file while browsing Windows Explorer and choose an option to "Open in (my AIR App)" ... that would lauch my AIR app and also open the xml.
Right now, I have to launch my AIR app, click to open a file, and then browse for the file and select it.

ok so after all of this time, i stumbled upon something that should solve my problem. i created a new AIR file in flash and put a text field on the stage with the name "my_txt" then I just added this bit of script (below) .... then once I installed the air app, i opened a file into the app and the path to the file was displayed in the text box thats on the stage. now i just have to use this path to actually open the file.
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, invoked);
function invoked(evt:InvokeEvent):void{
my_txt.text = String(evt.arguments[0]);

How can i block my iopd from downloading any internet browser from the app store

I would like to make my ipod touch unable to download any kind of internet browser from the app store, while still keeping internet access avalable for apps

There is no way to select just a genre of apps like that. You can use restriction settings to disable the ability to install apps, and you can disable Safari - that way no active web browser and no ability to download and install any apps. Apps already installed that use data access will still run just fine.

Drag&Drop from Browser to AIR App

Hi there,
i wonder how it is possible to drag an element from a flash
page in my browser to an air app on my desktop. i've seen the
showcase
of the nickelodeon jigsaw game on adobe.com, but the videos
looks kind of post-processed.
do you have any tipps on how to enable flash/AIR
drag&drop trespassing the browser borders?

Thanks for your answer.
i already tried something like this, but i still have
problems with getting the newly created entity dragged. how can I
position the new entity from my air app directly under the mouse
cursor? so far i didn't find any screen mouse position functions or
properties. If I use a fullscreen, always on top window with mostly
transparent parts, I can't capture the mouse position using
MOUSE_MOVE all the time. Besides, how can I change the focus from
my browser to my air app? I already tried calling
nativeWindow.orderToFront() and nativeWindow.activate(), but the
focus doesn't change when I click the entity in my flash page.
Maybe somebody knows an answer to this ...

Is it possible to open "settings" from Air?

Hi,
Is it possible to open/ link to "general - > settings" from Air? (iOS in this case)
I'm using native Facebook/ Twitter ANEs and it would great to present a "Go to settings" from my app, if FB/Twitter isn't installed.

I am not sure.
You are installing another completely different OS.
I think you need a separate partition on a hard drive to install this.
You maybe able to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine environment, within OS X, using something like VMWare Fusion, Parallels Desktop or the free, open source virtual machine called VirtualBox.
OR, you need to install this on either a fast reading/writing formatted USB 2.0/3.0 Flash drive or you need to purchase a fast external hard drive and install the OS on that drive.
You don't post the specs of your iMac.
If you decide to use an external hard drive depending on your iMac model, I would purchase a hard drive that connect, at least by FireWire 800. If a newer iMac, look into Thunderbolt connected hard drives or if you have a late 2012 or 2013 iMac, look at USB 3.0 connected external hard drives.

Wrong URL from Fullfilment Center opens Browser in DPS App

Situation: While uploading Library an empty browser window opens when you return to application.
Could it be possible that a wrong/invalid/empty URL was sent back from the Fullfilment Center, that forces the app to open the Browser,
because the URL does not submit the neccessary order or information?
Appversion: v24
Apptype: Newsstand App with Subscription + Entitlement
Status: already available in Store and approved
Error: opens browser-window with no content ( you can't open the link in safari, pushing the arrow has no effect),
clicking done closes browser again, and it works normally. But this browser window should not open
Error appears when: Updating library when coming back to Application from another, or application has been inactive for a short period
Error does not appear when: you don't leave the app, no matter how often library uploads itself
Possible explanation: Fullfilment Center sent URL is invalid/wrong/empty or forces App to open that URL instead of opening it in the background
Who can help me with that?

How to launch PDF in Acrobat from AIR app?

I'm porting an AS3 app to AIR -- one of the requirements is that an external PDF file be launched with Acrobat -
I know that AIR can display PDFs internally, but it's too late to change project specs.
I was using fscommand and a .bat file (this will be run on Windows), but that won't work under AIR.
I am currently using navigateToURL() and using the AIR-resolved url -- this opens the PDF in a browser -- I'd like to have it open in Acrobat.
Thanks for any help -- this is critical to finishing project.

This won't work on files in the application directory? It's not working for me -- The PDF is bundled into the AIR app --

IOS/Android client - Open document from another app

Hi,
Is it possible to call the SAP Mobile Documents client for Android and/or iOS directly opening some specific document?
I would like to know if I can integrate Agentry Work Manager with Mobile Documents, so the goal is to have some kind of link for each Work Order document in the Agentry client, and when user taps on it, open the related document already synched and stored in the Mobile Documents client (it should work offline).
Is this possible?
Regards,
- Marçal

Hi,
SAP Mobile Documents can connect to many backends (CMIS compliants ones, ABAP backend etc..)
Each documents in the backend through SAP Mobile Documents can be accessed by unique URL.
These URLs are described here: URLs for App-to-App Integration of SAP Mobile Documents - SAP Mobile Documents - SAP Library
You have to simply fire these URL from your app and SAP Mobile Documents Mobile Apps will highlight or open it for your based on your type of URL.

Downloaded apps appear as waiting on home screen but I can open them from the App Store. How do I fix this?

I bought a replacement iPhone 4 online because my old one broke about two months before my contract expires. I took it to Sprint to activate it, they reset the entire phone, activated, etc. I restored my phone from an iCloud backup (which I'd made right before going to Sprint), and now about half my apps have downloaded normally, while the other half say "Waiting" and can't be deleted (no X button). The strange thing is that if I go into the App Store and look at my purchased apps, the apps that say waiting can be opened and used by pressing the "Open" button there, so I know the app is downloaded and installed but the icons on the home screen are still greyed out and unusable. I've tried to reset my phone, restart my phone, redo the sync, and download the apps from iTunes, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Tried that as well. The problem isn't that the apps aren't downloading, it's that the app icon is stuck on Waiting. I can actually open and use the apps from the App Store, but not from the home screen.
I'm adding photos to try help explain, though I'm not they'll show up well on since I'm on mobile.
THats the the home screen with useless icons
BUt if I search the App Store for one (like Buzzfeed)
IT it shows it being installed, and I can even open the app an use it. I would try to reinstall but I cant remove the apps.

It not open in from gmail app only from Safari. Why?

I have adobe reader on my iPad but can only open in from Safari. Can't open from gmail App neither from iPad mail. I tried everything!

Hi,
That is a limitation of the Gmail app on iPad, wherein it doesn't expose the Open In command. What you could do, though, is open the PDF in Safari (by clicking the little 'circle' button at the bottom right of the PDF view in Gmail), and then select Open.
Hope this helps.

Can FireFox addons maintain state, inspect tab content and have control over the browser independently?

Hello,
I have a question about developing FireFox extensions, i.e., what exactly are they capable of.
I'd like to automate my work on a certain web application, that spans across multiple sub-pages on a single domain (just like a regular website).
Will a FireFox addon be able to control the browser's behavior? I.e. will it be able to follow links and keep its internal state separate from the web document? (E.g. I am pretty sure Google Chrome extensions sometimes restart themselves once the page they were working on is reloaded.)
Basically I would like to create an addon/extension that has some internal state, is able to interact with the web page, and is able to reload the webpage/do whatever it likes in the tab.
Can FireFox addons/extensions do that?
