Re: Deep Linking with Flex to Mobile Apps

2017-05-15 Thread Erik J. Thomas

Forgot to include the article on deep linking between native mobile apps:

>> "I found this list of device specific deep linking" 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_deep_linking 


Seems that this must be possible from a Flex app without creating an ANE since 
linking to facebook linkedIn, twitter, and google maps all works great, but in 
each of these cases, I am passing a parameterized http URL to the web, and 
Flex/AIR appears smart enough to interpret those requests and if the related 
mobile app exists, it's launching that using device-specific deep linking 
syntax under the covers.

deep linking is the wrong term… I think you're looking for url schemes.

phone is navigateToURL("tel:+55");
email is navigateToURL("mailto:a...@asdf.com";);

Re: Deep Linking with Flex to Mobile Apps

2017-05-19 Thread Erik J. Thomas

Thanks, Clint! Might be just the ticket. I want to be able to not just open the 
calendar to the intended date, but have it come up to the insert event dialog 
and prefill the title. This SDK/ANE may work well for that.
