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

[From: Faheem Pervez]

Hi,

I'm a libosso whore so this is how I do it:

#include <libosso.h>

osso_context_t* osso_context;
osso_rpc_t* osso_retval = { 0 };
char *open = "http://www.google.com";

osso_context = osso_initialize ("com.what.ever", "0.9.9", FALSE, NULL);
osso_rpc_run(osso_context, "com.nokia.osso_browser",
"/com/nokia/osso_browser", "com.nokia.osso_browser",
"open_new_window", osso_retval,  DBUS_TYPE_STRING, open,
DBUS_TYPE_INVALID);
osso_deinitialize(osso_context);

"open_new_window" does what it says on the tin: a new window is opened
with the URL supplied. You can also substitute that for "load_url"
which will, depending if a window is already open, a) load the link
given into a browser that is already open OR b) open a new window with
the link given.

I've been naughty here and have hardcoded the method names etc. but
these are all defined in /usr/include/tablet-browser-interface.h

And, yes, this works under Fremantle. ;)

Best Regards,
Faheem
