Lauching App with URL (via UIApplicationDelegate's handleOpenURL) working under iOS 4, but not under iOS 3.2

Question

I have implemented UIApplicationDelegate\'s

application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

and

application:handleOpenURL:
         


        

Answer 1

Add the following to the end of application:DidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    ...    

    NSURL *url = (NSURL *)[launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey];
    if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) {
        return YES;
    }  else return NO;
} // End of application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

// New method starts 
-(BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation
{
    mvc = [nc.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
    if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) {
        [mvc handleOpenURL:url];
    }
    return YES;
}

where mvc is my main ViewController, and nc my navigation controller.

Then in the MainViewController, do something like this:

- (void)handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
    [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

    // Next bit not relevant just left in as part of the example
    NSData *jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];        
    NSError *error;
    NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:kNilOptions error:&error] objectAtIndex:0];
    [self managedObjectFromStructure:dictionary withManagedObjectContext:self.context];
    ...
}

after declaring handleOpenURL in the .h of course.

Thanks goes to Christian for putting in the effort for this.
