Open document with other app...

[offlinebouncer]

How can I open another app and give it arguments to open a certain document?
Is it possible to execute another app via NK or javascript? If not, how can I implement
this in objective-c?

I would appreciate any suggestions about this issue!

greetings, Mike

hi,

this was posted other times...

if you want to open other App from your NK App you need to use NKOpenURLInSafari(url),

something like this:

Code: Select all

    <a  href="#" onClick="NKOpenURLInSafari('http://phobos.apple.com/WebOjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=XXXX&mt=8');">Open AppStore</a>

but only a little number of Apps have custom url shortcuts, you can find some of them here:

http://applookup.com/

for example, you can open FaceBook App with: fb//: like this:

Code: Select all

    <a  href="#" onClick="NKOpenURLInSafari('fb//:SomeUserURL');">Open FaceBook</a>

(i don't try it and i don't know if it works)

yes, NKOpenURLInSafari can open other apps too
