custom-url

I am calling a custom URL from safari to launch an app. It works fine if the app is running in background. But when the app is not running in background , but is already installed on the device, the app does not launch. I have implemented both of the following methods: - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation but none of them is called when app is not running in background. Also I have googled and found that we can

So here's my problem : I'm trying to do a redirection on a webpage with the htaccess file. This redirection will be towards a custom URL (i.e not something ike "http://..." but something like "myurl://...). For now, I'm trying this on a little local apache server, in which I have a index.html page, a "test" directory and in this directory a .htaccess file and a test.html file.

I am working with Custom URIs to show the appropriate content in android app. Naviation flow from Notification : onMessage() method of GCMBaseIntentService I have call to generateNotification() method. private void generateNotification(Context context, String message, String uri) { int icon = R.drawable.icon; long when = System.currentTimeMillis(); NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when); String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name); Uri

As per title, what is the maximum length a URL can be, when using a custom URL scheme with an app? e.g. If I'm launching another app via URL, and passing a blob of data using something like myappscheme://some/path?data=0123456789ABCDEF how long can that string get before the URL gets cut off (or the system refuses to launch the other app at all)? Unfortunately, the answer does not seem to be available. The max len is not defined specifically in any iOS documentation that I could find. There are limits, as noted above by MSK's link, for the URL base url length, not the absolute string length of
