Is it possible to open an Ubuntu of HTML application? (firefox)

Hi all

I'm looking for 'open an app of Ubuntu (installed in the system) to an HTML file', and I got a solution ' to ubuntu ' (see: http://askubuntu.com/a/332389/447970). I tried and his good work in the browsers Chrome and Chrome, but not working not in firefox, I use firefox 46.0 (14.04 Edubuntu). The steps I did:

I. create the application launcher script

  1. Pei a. mkdir bin
  2. b. gedit ~/bin/open_app.sh
  1. c script.:
  1. ! / bin/bash

Si [[« $1 » ! = « app : / / »]] ; then

   app=${1#app://}
   nohup "$app" &>/dev/null &

on the other

   nohup gnome-terminal &>/dev/null &

FI

  1. d. chmod + x ~/bin/open_app.sh

2. create the application launcher .desktop file

Sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/appurl.desktop h

Add the following content:

[Desktop entry] Name = TerminalURL Exec = /open_app.sh Type = Application NoDisplay = true Categories = %u system; MimeType = x-plan-Manager/app;

III. update the database of mime types

sudo update-desktop-base of data

IV. then created a file html with marking as:

Open Gimp: Gimp - 2.8

That's all.

If I open this html file in firefox and click on the hyperlink, nothing happens.

What's the matter, are there changes to make in the Firefox browser?

Pls help - Jay

HI team,

I was able to find a solution, it's a matter of network protocol. Add an entry in the config of firefox. as:

Network.protocol - handler.external.app; true

now its works well.

Thanks for the support - Jay

  • Possible to convert a site Dreamweaver html application?

    I have a question that might be a little too complicated for this forum, but I thought I could give it a try and see if anyone could help me (I'm fairly new to all this. I'm pretty good with Photoshop, familiarize yourself with DreamWeaver, but that's all. I know nothing about coding, but I'm learning).

    I am currently working on a website in Dreamweaver project - basically it's the interactive picture book for children. The child would log on to the site, click on the book to open it on the screen, and they can click on the screen to turn the pages. They can also click on the characters and they'll animate (I intend to add sounds to these animations later). It's now a html site. What I was asking is, what should be done to turn this into a downloadable application for a smartphone? Is there an easy way to convert a Dreamweaver site for an application?

    In defence of Dreamweaver, I created several web and mobile applications over the past years, three of which are currently on the Apple App Store and the other on Google Play - all developed with Dreamweaver and the PhoneGap Build service. I have never used another tool to develop projects client app. I had planned to go with Intel XDK for my latest project, an application very simple anecdote, but I've had a month to go from concept to app store submission, so I stuck with what I knew. I was hoping better from Adobe mobile development tools now, but I'll settle for the new workflow Responsive Web Design previously mentioned by the staff. ;-)

    I had only scratched the surface with some links that I provided above. There are so many tools and platform choices out there, some requiring less effort in the Department of development than others, leaving more room for creativity. If you persevere with Dw, it is important to learn the basics (HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery Mobile, etc.), as part of the mobile workflow by 20141 Dw has been deprecated.

    This could be a good starting point for the basics: CC Dreamweaver tutorials | Learn how to use Dreamweaver CC

    And here: Train Simple - Adobe online training

    And here: products | Dreamweaver | Adobe TV

    It is a bit tricky trying to identify the good tutorials for mobile development in the latest version of Dreamweaver, because the new CC subscription model allows much faster changes between versions. Here are a few:

    1. http://www.Lynda.com/Android-tutorials/building-Android-iOS-apps-Dreamweaver-CC-PhoneGap/1 72853 - 2.html
    2. Maybe this is significant? : build mobile applications and websites with Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection
    3. Using Dreamweaver | Applications web packaging and native mobile applications with PhoneGap Build

    I don't know that there are many others via Google search.

  • Cannot .jnlp file open when asked to open with the browser web firefox in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

    After the upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox browser 6 download and open from the website interactivebrokers .jnlp file. Usually, I go to the IB website and download the tws.jnlp file that opens in the browser web firefox. But now when I click on open it with the button in the Firefox browser, firefox browser opens a new tab and view the same open the window again.

    Seems that, after the upgrade to 11.10, jnlp files will open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
    If you right-click on the file in the download folder and choose 'Open with', you can start web java manually.
    Bug in Ubuntu...

    You can do a right click any .jnlp file and select 'Properties', go to 'Open with' tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "set as default". Should fix. I don't know what will happen if you have java ubuntu by default instead of the Sun may be that it is not necessary.

  • Is it possible to open an application at a specific time

    Hey all,.

    Is it possible to open an application at a specific time as an alarm?

    Thank you

    I don't think it will be 10.1. It's just in the phase of planning a few weeks ago. The best you can do is send a push message to the application at the time you want it opened. If the time is user specific, then you will need to store this information on your server and run a cron job to send a push message to the desired time-specific devices.

  • Is it possible to open 'manage connections' app?

    Hi guys,.

    Is it possible to open 'manage connections' app?

    My application needs WLAN. So when it starts, I check if wifi is on and if it is connected to the network. If it isn't I would open "manage connections" and allow the user to connect. Is this possible?

    I was looking at the ApplicationManager class but did not understand if it is possible.

    Thanks for the replies

    I got an answer on another forum. It might be useful for someone. The solution is

    try {
             ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().launch("net_rim_bb_manage_connections");
        } catch (ApplicationManagerException e) {
             // TODO Auto-generated catch block
             e.printStackTrace();
        }
    
  • Is it possible to open a file (.indd) exclusively in a tab?

    Hello.

    As far as I remember that it was not possible to open the same file several times in earlier versions of InDesign.

    I use InDesign CC 2015.

    Is is possible to restore this behavior in InDesign?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Concerning

    Ralf

    Hi Ralf,.

    your case is unique.

    You have opened (and did not save) a former InDesign file of version in your new version of InDesign.

    Whenever you do this a new window will appear. And that's ok, I think.

    My question is this...  Is it possible to open a virtual machine that I created in VMWare Workstation, VMWare Fusion?

    Thank you

    Dan.

    Do not.  Just copy the folder FULL of computer workstation computer merger.  In Fusion, select "Open an existing Virtual Machine" and find the folder that you copied and select the .vmx file.  No stupid masking the content of the file making it appear to the user unaware that the entire virtual machine is a big don't file this way.

  • Is it possible to open a pdf file so that it is not full screen?

    All PDFs on my site seem to open snce the entire width of the latest version of Adobe Acrobat has been inrtroduced some time ago. If you have a 800 x 600 screen that is not a problem, but mine is 1900 or so wide, and the text is too big to open the entire width.

    Is it possible to open them up to 100% to the link step?

    I'm assuming that you create your own PDF file.

    In this case, open your document, press Ctrl + D (Win) or command-D (Mac) and you could choose Page Layout options that you want your users to display by default. Then save your file. Acrobat retains your default preferences on other systems.

  • How can I stop several tabs opening as well as the Mozilla Firefox Start Page at the time of launch. How can this be stopped?

    Whenever I run Firefox, tabs has also begin to open with the Start Page Mozilla Firefox, which is very irritating. How can I avoid this happening whenever I run the browser?

    See the following for a few suggestions:

    It is also possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs to get lost, so you'll have to create them again (note).
