Uploaded verified local fXL epubs don't open in Google play books - epub

My fixed layout epub is verified with epubcheck-4.0.1: no errors, no warnings. On ibooks and Readium: no problems at all.
I upload the file to my google play books library on Chrome, Firefox, safari. The epub doesn't open and gets stuck with "Processing..." keeping displayed.
Now, I 'buy" a free fixed epub from the google play books store. The epub opens. I downloaded the epub. Upload it again. Now it doesn't open any more. Message: "This book cannot be opened
This book contains content that is not yet supported in your browser."
I try the same procedure on an Android device. Same behavior.
I am stuck and would be grateful to have a few hints to move from this gridlock.

This is not possible to read a local epub on the playbook reader within a browser. The native play books reader must be installed instead.

Adobe AIR : get user's video content on iOS

I have to develop an AIR app for a client, that reads the video folder content and can play any video in it.
It's quite easy with Android, I can read any folder on the phone/tablet, but on iOS it's not that easy. I can't use applicationDirectory because the client wants to put videos himself later in the videos folder on iPad. (But if you have a solution to put files in applicationDirectory with iTunes or else, please share !)
I know there are some ane's that read the cameraroll content, but they display a native pickup screen, while I just need a list of the files.
I tried to use File.documentsDirectory to access content, but got no luck. If you have any idea, thanks in advance !
Ok I found a workaround : in my XML application file I added <key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key><true/> to the iPhone infoAdditions, so that I can access to app's documents through iTunes. I add files with iTunes, and I can read the content of the folder in AIR with File.documentsDirectory.getDirectoryListing()
Hope it will help someone else !

How to support Open in feature in iOS App?

My app is PDF Reader and i want to support Open in feature like when open PDF in Safari , We can open PDF in another PDF Reader app with Open in Feature.
So my app support for (.PDF) file and want to show my app on the lists of Open in App like following pic.
I don't know what is that and how to use it?
Please explain or guide me to good tutorials.
Sorry if my question is duplicated.
It's very simple, you only need to register the file types that your app supports. You can check more on

PDF view in blackberry?

I am working on an Blackberry application in which I have to show some PDF files in my application.
I know we can show the PDF file as a GOOGLE document, I have already done that. But this time my task is to show PDF files inside application.
Do we have any option to show PDF files in our own application by using some SDK's ?
Please suggest me.
I dont think any blackberry sdk support this facility.
There is only one option to view pdf files offline is to download and view using a third party pdf viewer.
Even blackberry dont have given a built in pdf reader to user,when I was looking for the same issue I found that only one company SLG Mobile has made this app(beamreader) and blackberry gave them very special award(dont remember award name now),
so this third party app is free for one month and after that you have to pay nearly 500 Rs as licence fee.
Now for BB10 Adob has created a reader and it comes with device itself.

Opening a pdf in Adobe Reader from browser in iOS using url-scheme

If I check this: http://schemes.zwapp.com/
the url scheme for Adobe Reader in iPad is: com.adobe.Adobe-Reader:
So I created a link in my web-page pointing to:
com.adobe.Adobe-Reader://mysite.com/sample.pdf
Clicking the link launches Adobe Reader but it won't download and open the pdf from the url specified. I have tried various variations of the link including:
com.adobe.Adobe-Reader://http://mysite.com/sample.pdf
com.adobe.Adobe-Reader://edit?url=http://mysite.com/sample.pdf
but none of these work. Adobe Reader opens but it does not open the pdf (the link to pdf is fine, I checked by opening separately in browser).
What am I doing wrong? How can I make a app open a specific document by using its url scheme in the browser anchor link.
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. According to this Adobe thread, the Reader app doesn't (yet) support linked references to specific PDFs, but may in a future release. (Or if it does, they're not telling anyone how just yet).
There's an email contact to Adobe at the bottom of that thread that might be able to help more and/or that you might be able to bug to get this feature implemented sooner rather than later.

How to restore the file type association in iOS

Some of you may have tried an App named Phone Drive, it took over the file type like mp3, pdf etc.
But what if I want to restore the association to the default app?
For example, previously when I opened a link to mp3 in Safari, Safari plays it. But when I am using Phone Drive, I need to download it in that App and play it later.
Any suggestion?
Please ignore the below one. iOS doesn't support wma....
Some of you may have tried an App named Phone Drive, it took over the file type like wma, pdf etc.
Originally, when I clicked a link to wma file in Safari, it is opened in a player embed in the web page.
However, after I installed and removed that App, when I tap on the same link, Safari pops out an alert says it can not download the link.
Any solution? Thank you.
