[maemo-developers] Proper Way To Call Browser (Fremantle)

[From: daniel wilms]

Hi,

the browser can be opened by using a dbus-service. The package is called 
"tablet-browser-interface" and you find the header in the dev-package. 
Here is an example how to call the service from the command line:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.osso_browser" 
--print-reply /com/nokia/osso_browser/request 
com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"http://www.google.com"

Cheers Daniel
