I'm at a loss and have exhausted my search engine fu.
How do you refer to the linking that allows you to reference your native app in the AppStore (or Google Play) from your responsive website?
If user doesn't have your native app but they visit your website you often see a link to the native app above the page that you can usually dismiss (though this Instagram example I just created doesn't appear to let you dismiss it).
How is this handled?
Edit: Actually, here's a better example (I happen to have app installed but it appears regardless)
it's easy on iOS Apple Documentation

The Android equivalent is this I haven't tried it personally.

I am working on an apple tv app where I am trying to deeplink to specific pages within other third party apps. I see the way to open the other app is to use its url scheme however most url schemes that work in ios are not working on tvos.
So far, I've found a couple that work on tvos (netflix, abc). However the following url schemes which work on ios are not opening the app on tvos - Youtube (youtube://), showtime anytime (shoany://), DailyMotion (dailymotion//). In some cases the url scheme opens the app but the full deeplink doesn't navigate to the correct page (ex. hbogo).
Do anyone know if the url schemes used by tvos apps is different from ios? Also is there any way to extract the url scheme of the tvos version of the app?
Not sure if you already found your answer but for the sake if visibility:
right now showtime uses different urlschemes for their tvOS apps than the one they use on iOS. The urlschemes used are:
com.showtime://
com.showtimeanytime://
I expect them to change these to be the same as the iOS apps so make sure to be able to support both varieties.
I'm fairly new to Chrome app development and was wondering if it's possible to run an app within Chrome's main window, like the TweetDeck app.
Thanks!
No. Chrome Apps' current goal is to provide a native-like app experience outside the Chrome browser. Today, with the exception of certain privileged APIs, putting an app in Chrome would be... well, it would be a website.
If you want an app in one of Chrome's tabs, why not just build a website? What does the open web lack for your project?
Note that we have been thinking about what it would mean for an app to be a component inside a webpage. You could imagine a Facebook Like button or a Google+ +1 button implemented as an app in a webpage in the same way that those buttons today are usually implemented as iframes. There are some interesting security properties that this approach would bring over iframes. But again, this doesn't seem to be what you had in mind. What you had in mind appears to be a regular website.
I used the latest and greatest jQuery Mobile (RC1) to develop an app for the client. I used the latest Webworks version from RIM and packaged the app in a Cod file.
The app works great if accessed through the web browser ETC however when I installed the actual generated JAD/Cod files onto a blackberry device, performance was horrible even with minimum number of jQuery libraries.
Since I have Googled this everywhere and it is apparent that one cannot have a meaningful app experience if Webworks is used, I want to be able to just create something that just places the app icon on the phone. Once clicked, it open the browser and takes the user to the web server where the HTML files are parked.
Is this possible?
You can do that, with a very simple Java-application.
The following code:
Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage("http://www.yourserver.com");
It will open browser and open page: http://www.yourserver.com
Browser class javadoc is here: http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/5.0.0api/net/rim/blackberry/api/browser/Browser.html
I'm new to programing all together and definitely new to Django-CMS and Python, so excuse me if this is a simple answer. All other plugins in my Django-CMS installation are working fine, but the Google Maps isn't working at all even though I have an API key in my settings file. My picture plugin doesn't load the image, and the video plugin loads a missing flash plugin link to the Adobe Flash player website. I'm running Chrome so that is already installed and updated. I'm also using Django 1.2.5, Django-CMS 2.1.2, and Python 2.6. I have tried to set CMS_PAGE_MEDIA_PATH, but that had no effect. I have checked all error logs and have nothing out of order. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
It's hard to say from the details here, but one possible cause is that you don't have your media urls set to serve out correctly under the Django dev server; see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/static-files/#how-to-do-it . Also be sure you have copied the DjangoCMS media into your media root. I could imagine that could cause the maps video issues, at least.
If you've verified those things and you're still having problems, you can use the Chrome developer tools to see what the failing requests look like (reload the page with the "Network" tab, and look for 404s). The URLs that are 404ing would be helpful in determining what aspect of serving media is not working.
This seems like it should be simple but after a couple hours of googling I have not figured it out. I know I can add iCal links using ICS files, but this does not work on the iPhone.
BTW, when I say iPhone I would like it to work on the touch also. Anyone have any luck with this?
You can get iPhone to download the .ics file (using Safari on a mobile web page) by using the webcal protocol:
webcal://website.mobi/mymeeting.ics
As of iOS 5, if you create a simple http link to an .ics file, Mobile Safari will offer to open it up in Calendar.
According to the iPhone documentation there is no URL scheme for the Calendar application. (There are URL schemes for Mail, Phone, Map, YouTube and iTunes.)
Of course there could be something undocumented, but I'm not sure that using it would be a good idea even if you can find it.
Of course it is possible but only if your JavaScript application is installed on the device. Look at http://tetontech.wordpress.com to see how to make calls from JavaScript to Objective-C. You can then use this and the Calendar Store Programming Guide from the documentation in Xcode to do what you want.
It is not possible. Apple does not want you to do this.
Now, what you could do is bookmark a javascript bookmarklet that checks the user-agent of the browser invoking it, and if the user is on Safari on their laptop or desktop Mac, then invoke the iCal using standard method (ICS file).
The user on iPhone could bookmark your page into a home screen bookmark with a useful (and perhaps custom) icon that said "Event" and title of "Meet Mary at 8:15". They could then, when they have synced their bookmarks, be reminded of the event and invoke it on their desktop browser.
Significant barriers here to educating users how to use this system, but it would work if you could convince people to do it, I think.
