Have you ever used gmail in your Android or iOS using your browser. While browsing it you get a small popup at the top saying that to view/install the native gmail app available at Google Play or AppStore. How do you do that? Is that feature done using html, css, and JS. Or is it built-in to native app?
By the way, this doesn't happen only for gmail but pretty much all the professional apps with both web apps and native apps.
On iOS, you're thinking of Smart App Banners, which are a website configuration detail to display a banner for the user to view your iOS app in the App Store:
I have my Apps installed in my device. Now I want to launch the apps from email hyperlink click
You can define a custom URL scheme so that apps can send information to your app using URLs.
Read the Inter-App Communication Guide. You are looking for URL schemes.
Is there a way I could make links to my website open in the web app if the user has it installed on their home screen? Like if there is a link to my website in the Facebook app, how do I tell the iPhone to open the web app and not safari?
I know native apps can do this, and you can open one app from another... but can the same be done with a web app and native app or two web apps (open one web app from another)?
It's probably super far fetched, but it would be a nice feature!
Yeah, it would be a nice feature... but unfortunately you can't yet. iOS 8 may be?
Is there a way to create a link on a web page to launch the BlackBerry native version of the Foursquare app? I'd like to open a particular venue in the app, but I can't even find a way to cause the app to launch at all.
On Android and iOS there are URL schemes to accomplish this, like on this page:
https://developer.foursquare.com/resources/client
But, that page does not address web links from BlackBerry devices. In particular, I'm interested in BlackBerry OS 6/7 handsets.
foursquare: URLs just fail with a not-supported error message, and http links to foursquare.com just open in the same browser window.
At the bottom of the page at https://developer.foursquare.com/resources/client, under "BlackBerry Native App Integration", you can find instructions on how to launch the native foursquare app from other BlackBerry apps.
We are creating a web application for iPad, which doesn't have offline features for now. We are thinking if we need to create a downloadable iPad app and submit to App Store. The web application could run in some kind of embedded browser so that it looks like a native app.
Here are my questions regarding this:
Is it good/necessary to create a downloadable iPad app to let user have same experience to native apps on iPad?
Does Apple allow this kind of app to submit to App Store?
Are there any best practices for installation of iPad web applications? Is the way of typing URL in iPad safari (or homescreen icon) acceptable/preferred for most users?
How did you manage the installation process for your iPad web applications?
Thanks,
J
