[maemo-developers] Fremantle: Opening URLs and local files

[From: daniel wilms]

Hi,

here is an example for a d-bus call to open the browser:

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"


To use the mediaplayer you could have a look into the Media Application 
Framework (MAFW) API [1] and documentation [2]. Another option, which 
might be easier in your case. is to open the file by its MIME type. In 
the header (hildon-mime.h) you will find a function called 
hildon_mime_open_file, which should do the thing you want.
