LiveCode Forums.

I have two android devices Samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 and S4 phone and the Contacts app should be similar and at least reasonably similar and competent, but they are useless to me.
It occurred to me that the Livecode Contacts manager I use on my PC (and portable to some extent to the tablet,) would be ideal, if I could connect with the other built in apps.
For example, click the phone number in my app to launch the phone app and preload the phone number.
Also, a similar thing for email, Skype and messaging etc.

So, the question is, how do you launch the phone, email and messaging and Skype apps and preload the data for the contact?

Hi,

check "launch url" in the dictionary!
I'm afraid that are the only options that LC does offer in this respect.

The same as I use on the PC then.
That is a great help, because I wondered how Android could find the required app, (like the phone) if the programmer did not know the path and name.
Perhaps messaging and calling Skype might work in a similar way.
