Launching an app in iOS devices

[Mag]

Hi all,

Somebody knows if there is the possibility to launch an app (in my case Photo) from within a LiveCode app?

Hi,

You can't launch the native Photo app because it doesn't have a url prefix attached to it (like http or itunes or twitter). You can use the media picker though.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thank you Mark, media picker allow you to just pick a media right? Actually I would like to give user the possibility to see the recorded videos and share them. I have not found a way to share a video from inside the app so I had thought to put in the app a "Camera Roll" button which launches Photo, sad to learn that I cant.

Hi Mag,

With MediaPicker, you can create a new image control with the selected image. It is possible to upload this image to a server, Dropbox or Facebook, but you'd have to write the scripts for that.

Kind regards,

Mark
