Possible to Open Maps.app via Browser URL?

I'm wondering whether it's possible to open the new Maps app via a localised URL that can be bookmarked?
i.e. mac://home/applications/maps.app
Does anyone know of such a method?

Hey Parbinder Johal,
Great question. On a Mac, you can bookmark this link to automatically open the Maps application:
http://maps.apple.com/?q
You can also learn about rules for creating a valid map link at the following resource. For example, this link ( http://maps.apple.com/?q=cupertino ) will open a query of Cupertino, California.
Apple URL Scheme Reference: Map Links

Thanks,
Matt M.

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Opening an app from an url + parameters

Is there a way to open an app from an url with parameters and read those parameters?

Now, i am using Flash pro to create my app, once packed it's tricky to mess up with the contents, is there a file i can edit, before rendering the app? for example is this something i can add in an xml file that is created in my app folder?
It starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.4">
    <id>appID</id>
    <versionNumber>3.0</versionNumber>
    <filename>filename</filename>

Its possible to open an app from IOS on MAC?

I have a med app on iphone that i want to open on mac to study. since it have small letters and a lot of stuff, it would be much easier if i open it on mac.
So, its possible to open an app from IOS on MAC?

No. The iPhone and Mac are totally different hardware architecture. Software compiled for one will not run on the other.

"Reviews" link in Google always opens Maps app, not reviews, annoying.

This only happens on iPads. I like to use the link to reviews in Google when doing research on businesses I am buying something from. Normally on a computer, in the list of results on Google, it will show the business, a mini map, address, phone, etc and often a link to reviews. For some weird reason on the iPad, when you click that reviews link it just opens up the Maps app to show me where it is, not the reviews. Is there any way to get this to work right?
Thanks

When I click on the reviews link on my Compaq laptop, it take me straight to a page with all the reviews, which is what I have done also on my Apple laptop too for years, very handy link, but the iPad somehow thinks it should open Maps and shows me where business is located. Strange. It seems many websites have a way of knowing if you are accessing it with a iPad or iPhone or similar device and then things react differently, sometimes not correctly as in this case.
Edit: One thing I noticed on the reviews page which my Compaq opened, the reviews page is under the "Maps" section, still within Google actually. So, the iPad can't access Google Maps in that way because iPad uses that separate Maps app. I wish there was a preference in iPad that allowed you to stop it from automatically using the Maps app all the time.

Accessing an Apex app via a url from an email

We have an issue tracking application which sends emails out to the applicable users throughout the request life cycle as action is taken. We would like to include in each email a link to the application with the applicable request, and upon login the user would be taken directly to the applicable request instead of page 1 of the application.
My question is how can set I this up so that the user goes from the email, authenticates via login, and then is taken directly to the request. We also have session state enabled, would we need to disable this?

Ed - Just try it, it should work. Can you show an example of such a URL here?
We also have session state enabled, would we need to disable this?
Session State Protection? No, but the checksum type used in generating the link would have to be a "public or private bookmark" type. The checksum type can be specified in the call to apex_util.prepare_url.
My advice is to get the generic deep-linking behavior working first, then work on getting the SSP checksummed URL pieces working.

Open portal page via HTML URL out of the "Dynamic Navigation"

Hi everybody,
In our portal environment we have a page (page1) in which user can enter date. On another page (page2) in a different navigation node there is a report that shows the data. We want to provide a possibility to navigate directly from page1 to page2.
Our idea was to have a KM-document iView in the "dynamic navigation" of page1 with a link to page2.
that works fine. but page2 is not opened in the whole window but in the dynamic-navigation-frame.
the link looks the following:
<A HREF="http://xxxxxxxx.xxx:1235/irj/portal/index.htm?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/folder/role/workset/page/">
Its obvious that the link is opened in the same frame because no target property is added to the href.
I thought about adding a the "target" property to the href, but I don't know how the Frame is named.
I have tried this:
<A HREF="http://xxxxxxxx.xxx:1235/irj/portal/index.htm?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/folder/role/workset/page/" target="MainFrame">
but it didn't work.
Does anybody know how the MainFrame in the portal is named or has any other solution to my problem.
Regards, Alex

kind of simple
user target="_top" to have the page displayed in the whole window.

Is there anyway to directly go to a module in an app via a URL ?

Some of my users want to load just one module of the public application I have. Rather than going to www.somehost/app.html and then clicking the menu option to load modulz_x, they just want to do something like
www.somehost/app.html/module_x
Is this even possible ?

Fantastic. Thats exactly what I needed and simple too. Many thanks

Opening webtogo app in browser. I want to edit main.html from webtogo

Hi,
i have following problem. I have an application made in webtogo, the deployment and use of the application works fine, but when i open my application from in the http://localhost/webtogo/WLTop u can see when u go over the application that they use javascript:parent.gotoUrl(...) is used.
Application is opened but the size of the opened browser is very small and i would like that the opened browser has maximum screen size, so i searched and found that the page main.html from webtogo contains javascript gotoUrl function. I edited this one on server side but on sync doesn't come to client(that i checked with WSH).
When editing and saving main.html in WSH prompt everything goes fine.
So i want to know how u can edit the webtogo main.html or other pages and how they come with sync to client.

OK, that seems to have resolved the issue. Apologies for the panic! I'm not sure what the problem was as I had already restarted and repaired permissions before the problem manifested, and DragonDrop works fine on my other computer running 10.8, and I have successfully restarted the program now on 10.7.5 without a recurrence of the issue. But if it happens again I'll update this thread.
Whew.

Maps App: Multiple Destinations

Two questions:
A) Is there a way for me to input multiple destinations into the Maps application.
B) If so, is there a way that Maps can order the stops in the Route from closest to furthest so that I can make the most of my time? (i.e. if I put 3 different destinations, I don't want it to take me to the further one first just because I have it listed first).
If this is not possible in the Maps app, is there a website I can use to do this?

No, there is not.

The Maps App does not have routing capabilities like a dedicated car navigation GPS would have.

Reference additional parameters via the URL

Is it possible to reference additional parameters via the URL?
I would like to be able to reference the value of CUSTOM_PARAM in the following simple example
f?p=4000:1500:3712511906556636:::RP::&CUSTOM_PARAM=12345

Hello Craig,
I dont know if you already solved the problem but as you probably noticed I had the same, if you are running on a remote host with minimum privileges this is simply not possible but if you have your personal server and database this is the solution to go(thanks to your idea).
create or replace procedure APEX_040000.f2(
P in varchar2,
P_SEP in varchar2 default null,
P_TRACE in varchar2 default null,
C in varchar2 default null,
PG_MIN_ROW in varchar2 default null,
PG_MAX_ROWS in varchar2 default null,
PG_ROWS_FETCHED in varchar2 default null,
FSP_REGION_ID in varchar2 default null,
SUCCESS_MSG in varchar2 default null,
NOTIFICATION_MSG in varchar2 default null,
CS in varchar2 default null,
S in varchar2 default null,
TZ in varchar2 default null,
P_LANG in varchar2 default null,
P_TERRITORY in varchar2 default null,
code in varchar2 default null, <-- Custom variable
error_reason in varchar2 default null, <-- Custom variable
error in varchar2 default null <-- Custom variable
+) is+
begin
--write your code here+
APEX_040000.f(P => P,P_SEP => P_SEP, P_TRACE => P_TRACE,C => C, PG_MIN_ROW => PG_MIN_ROW, PG_MAX_ROWS => PG_MAX_ROWS, PG_ROWS_FETCHED => PG_ROWS_FETCHED, FSP_REGION_ID => FSP_REGION_ID, SUCCESS_MSG => SUCCESS_MSG, NOTIFICATION_MSG => NOTIFICATION_MSG, CS => CS, S => S,TZ => TZ,P_LANG => P_LANG,P_TERRITORY => P_TERRITORY);
end f2;
Then it is important to indeed grant public access to it with:
grant execute on APEX_040000.f2 to public;
Now here comes to part that actually does it and where the right privileges are needed.
create or replace public synonym f for APEX_040000.f2;
Overloading the F procedure didnt work for some reason, probably because F is a wrapped procedure.
But this worked perfect !!!

How to open a google map link in google maps app?

Hello,
I would like to post a link to a custom google map on my blog that could be open on Iphone with the google maps app. Someone would have an idea?
There maybe a solution with google map url scheme ("comgooglemaps:") but I don't see how to implement it
Thanks in advance!
The map:
https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=218162555454264993409.0004ddc647279c6f0bde0& msa=0&ll=46.149394,2.329102&spn=16.974756,19.02832

I think this is not possible as a link on the iPhone will default to the Apple Maps app and there is no way to change this.

Issue while opening webi reports using OpenDoc url in Chrome browser

Hi
We are in SAP BI4.0 SP7. We are facing weird issue while opening the webi report via OpenDoc url in chrome. we are facing the below issue only in chrome and it works perfectly in IE and Firefox.
For the first time the report gets opened properly(when a session is created). If we try to open the same report from the same machine in a different browser tab, report gets opened up without any Tables\charts. We could see only a blank page with just the Report Tab name at the bottom. If we do refresh on the page, the report opens up correctly. We have checked for packet drops and there is no such thing. Is there any setting that we should make to resolve this. Your help is appreciated.
thanks
Gokul

Hello Gokul,
first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.
best regards,
Victor

Is it possible to open a browser window from an applet?

Hi,
this might seem a simple beginners question to you, but to me it is more like a nightmare.
Is it possible to have a link in an Applet that opens up a new browser
window with a fixed address??
If yes, can anybody tell me how? or where can I find documentation about it?
Please help me.
Thanks.
dunja

myApplet.getAppletContext().showDocument(URL url, String target);
TARGET:
"_self" Show in the window and frame that contain the applet.
"_parent" Show in the applet's parent frame. If the applet's frame has no parent frame, acts the same as "_self".
"_top" Show in the top-level frame of the applet's window. If the applet's frame is the top-level frame, acts the same as "_self".
"_blank" Show in a new, unnamed top-level window.
name Show in the frame or window named name. If a target named name does not already exist, a new top-level window with the specified name is created, and the document is shown there.
