I have a WinRT application with multiple languages.
The app use automatically the user language, but I want to let the user choose one of them manualy in my app.
Is it possible to do it in runtime ?

I'm developing iOS app which is avaialable in multiple languages.
In the app I want to show some strings same as the one displayed with iOS.
For example, when app ask access to Phots iOS shows the strings
"[App name] Would Like to Access Your Photos"
I'd like to know the following strings in multiple languages.
Would like to Access your Photos
Select Photos...
Allow Access to All Photos
Don't Allow
Anyone knows how to check the string displayed by iOS framework in multiple languages.
Or do I need to check them one by one with swithcing language in iOS "Settings"?
Thank you.
I am working on a app in google assistant using the action builder. My default language is English. Now I want to add another language to my app. I did all the settings related to second language. It works if I call from the other one. Now I want to provide a facility to user to change language while running the action. How to do that?
Please help.
The platform does not provide a mechanism to let you switch languages mid-conversation. If the user has both languages enabled on their Assistant, they will be able to initiate conversation in one of those languages.
The documentation provides more info on localization: https://developers.google.com/assistant/console/add-languages
I'm developing iOS application for the blind people. In the beginning of the application user can select his/her preferred language and according to that app's contents(text) will change to selected language.
App support users who are understand English and Tamil.
I don't have any issues if user selected "English" as proffered language, but I need to know how can I convert "Tamil to Speech" voice over in iOS? ( basically a language doesn't support by default in voice over)
Is there another way to achieve this functionality?
Will developers be required to add code to their app to incorporate Action extensions?
Let's say I developed an image editor for iOS - but I want to use Snapseed's Action extensions but not Instagram's. Is that even possible?
No - The extension isn't an "extension" of your app. It's an extension of another app on the O/S the user has the option of utilizing given whatever context your app (the host app) is providing.
Think of it as the user getting to pick what they want to use, not you forcing them to use something. Plus, you have no control over what extension/app the user has installed on their device, so you cannot create a program to even try to depend on that.
I would like to know if I can develop an application in BB OS (4 - 7) with similar functions to Android/iOs where ;
I would be able to register the app to listen for specific URL's.
I can launch the app via URL.
I can parse data from the URL and use in the app.
For instance in Android I can use Intent Filters like this
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="myapp.com"
android:pathPrefix="/launchapp/" />
</intent-filter>
to launch the app upon laoding a url such as
i can then parse the two numbers after launchapp/ and use them within the application.
Anyone experienced with BB OS know if this is possible?
I am not aware about documented listeners to intercept opened URLs. But there is GlobalEvent mechanism. Almost every step doing on pre-BB10 OS fires one or more global events. Some of them are documented, some not.
There are documented GUID's listed: http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.0.0api/index-files/index-7.html (look for G letter, and scroll down for GUID_xxxx constants).
To catch undocumented GUIDs, implement a background application, that uses GlobalEventListener. Then open a page in browser and log all global event guids and objects which come along with guids to eventOccurred call. And you can find out, which global event guids are related to url-open event. It will help to create URL interception mechanism. And this part should be a native application (written on Java).
It is possible to launch application via url, but it should be WebWorks application. Not a native one. Check this link: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Web-and-WebWorks-Development/Launch-BlackBerry-WebWorks-app-via-URL-with-parameters/td-p/1674663
When your webworks application has done its part of work, it can fire GlobalEvent and your native app will wait for it to intercept it and work further.
There are some ways of doing this on BBOS depending on what exactly you want.
Create a browser plugin using the net.rim.device.api.browser.plugin API. Here you create a BrowserContentProvider and attach it to the BB browser for handling a particular mime type. This mime type must be unique to you that is not being handled by the native browser (say x-vnd-whatever/myapplauncher) . When the browser access your url, say http://myapp.com/launchapp/233, serve a file with the number 233 and the registered mime type. The browser will download the file, see its mime type and then pass the file content to your plugin for handling. Your plugin will read the app id - 233 and then do whatever you want with it. BlackBerry App World uses this method to allow developers to launch their app in app world from a url.
Create a HttpFilter. Using this, you can make connections to a given domain pass through your code. Here you will register your filter for your domain myapp.com and whenever someone tries to access any myapp.com, the browser will call your filter to handle the request. Again BlackBerry App World does this for access to http://appworld.blackberry.com domain. [There is a HttpFilterDemo in the samples to help you]
Use the StringPattern API. Almost all native text fields support it. So if there is a text field with text written that matches a particular pattern it will become underlined and clicking on it will show your custom actions in the Menu. [There is a StringPatternDemo in the samples to help you]
If your app is in App World and you just want to launch it, use the URL http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/xxxx where xxxx is your app's content id.
Moreover, there is no use trying anything with Global Events. Since OS 4.5, the global event broadcast mechanism has been partitioned in such a way that the system events are only delivered to system applications and not to their party apps and vise versa.
Hope this helps.
