Feature request - SAM urls

Soumis par tbje le ven, 09/11/2009 - 09:31

Would be great if URLs to http://slideme.com/application/* could be opened by SAM.

This way it's easier to promote applications with links and QR codes.

Cool

Excellent! I really love when requested features are added within five hours :)

How can I find the bundleId for a given application? I've been looking at the html source without any luck :)

I also get a Force close with the SAM URL you provided.

How are you testing this? I did a link from a page directly within SAM to test and it worked fine. But in the browser sam:// is replaced by http:// making it fail. It looks like for you at least the right activity is being called. Are you doing this through a browser?

Thanks for this report it was helpful. Mine was passing since I already had this app entry in my local catalog. I just moved the remote catalog loading BEFORE using the cursor for display. I'll have this fix out for 3.1.

No problem - Looking forward to next release :)

On your web page it would be nice to have a QR code for each application satisfying the use case:
As a user
I would like to browse the SlideMe catalog using my web browser and when finding an interesting application easily download it to my phone.

By the way, I still wonder how I can find the bundle id for a given application?

Link please

A link to the new documentation would be nice. I can't find information anywhere on SlideMe about how to do this - there is only the developer FAQ. I would like to link to my paid app from my free app, so people will buy it on SlideMe.
