在iOS开发中，经常需要调用其它App，如拨打电话、发送邮件等。UIApplication:openURL:方法是实现这一目的的最简单方法，该方法一般通过提供的url参数的模式来调用不同的APP。

通过openURL方法可以调用如下应用：

调用谷歌地图(Google Maps)
调用邮件客户端(Apple Mail)
拨号(Phone Number)
调用短信(SMS)
调用浏览器(Safari Browser)
调用应用商店(AppStore)


调用谷歌地图(Google Maps)

URL模式：http://maps.google.com/maps?q=<strong>${QUERY_STRING}</strong>

代码示例：

NSString* searchQuery =@"1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014";
searchQuery =[addressText stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString* urlString =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%@", searchQuery];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlText]];


调用邮件客户端(Apple Mail)

URL模式：mailto://<strong>${EMAIL_ADDRESS}</strong>

代码示例：

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"mailto://admin@eyecm.com"]];


拨号(Phone Number)

URL模式：tel://<strong>${PHONE_NUMBER}</strong>

代码示例：

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://10086"]];

如果需要在拨打电话结束后返回应用程序，则使用以下方式：

[[UIApplication  sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL  URLWithString:@"telprompt://10086"]];


调用短信(SMS)

URL模式：sms:<strong>${PHONENUMBER_OR_SHORTCODE}</strong>

代码示例：

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sms:10086"]];


调用浏览器(Safari Browser)

代码示例：

NSURL*url =[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://eyecm.com"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];


调用应用商店(AppStore)

URL模式：http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=291586600&amp;mt=8

代码示例：

NSURL*appStoreUrl =[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=291586600&amp;amp;mt=8"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appStoreUrl];


Apple iPhone Applications

Safari

Any URL starting with http:// which does not point to maps.google.com or www.youtube.com is sent to Safari:

NSString *stringURL = @"http://wiki.akosma.com/"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

Apparently feed:// opens http://reader.mac.com in Safari.

Maps

URLs starting with http://maps.google.com open up the "Maps" application automatically:

NSString *title = @"title"; float latitude = 35.4634; float longitude = 9.43425; int zoom = 13; NSString *stringURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%@@%1.6f,%1.6f&z=%d", title, latitude, longitude, zoom]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

It seems that maps:// also opens up the Maps application.

Phone

The phone links start with "tel:" but must not contain spaces or brackets (it can contain dashes and "+" signs, though):

NSMutableString *phone = [[@"+ 12 34 567 89 01" mutableCopy] autorelease]; [phone replaceOccurrencesOfString:@" "                         withString:@""                            options:NSLiteralSearch                              range:NSMakeRange(0, [phone length])]; [phone replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"("                         withString:@""                            options:NSLiteralSearch                              range:NSMakeRange(0, [phone length])]; [phone replaceOccurrencesOfString:@")"                         withString:@""                            options:NSLiteralSearch                              range:NSMakeRange(0, [phone length])]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel:%@", phone]]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

SMS

To open the SMS application, just use the sms: protocol in your URL:

NSString *stringURL = @"sms:"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

You can specify a phone number, but apparently not a default text for your message:

NSString *stringURL = @"sms:+12345678901"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

The same restrictions apply as for phone URLs, regarding spaces, brackets and dashes.

Mail

These URLs launch Mail and open the compose message controller:

NSString *stringURL = @"mailto:test@example.com"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

You can also provide more information, for a customized subject and body texts:

NSString *subject = @"Message subject"; NSString *body = @"Message body"; NSString *address = @"test1@akosma.com"; NSString *cc = @"test2@akosma.com"; NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"mailto:%@?cc=%@&subject=%@&body=%@", address, cc, subject, body]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[path stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

You might also omit some information:

NSString *subject = @"Message subject"; NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"mailto:?subject=%@", subject]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[path stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

For more complex body texts, you might want to use the CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes() function, as explained above in this page.

YouTube

URLs starting with http://www.youtube.com open up the "YouTube" application automatically:

NSString *stringURL = @"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZH30T99MaM"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

It also works with this URL (which normally brings the Flash video player used by YouTube):

NSString *stringURL = @"http://www.youtube.com/v/WZH30T99MaM"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

iTunes

To open up iTunes, use this URL:

NSString *stringURL = @"http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=156093464&id=156093462&s=143441"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

App Store

Very similar to the iTunes URLs:

NSString *stringURL = @"http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=294409923&mt=8"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

iBooks

(source: http://akos.ma/aqdr)

NSString *stringURL = @"itms-books:"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
NSString *stringURL = @"itms-bookss:"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
