Some links: http://blog.chromium.org/2011/08/connecting-web-apps-with-web-intents.html http://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/07/web-apps-update-experiments-in-web-activities-app-discovery/ http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html Some discussion about WebOS: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html Quoting from the Google+ discussion about permissions for intents cited above: "WebOS also allows you to set permissions "as-needed", so you can let google maps know where you are when you want directions from here, but don't have to tell it if you just want to look at a map. I have been reluctant to add either a Facebook or a G+ app to my Android gadget, because I don't want to give either one blanket permission to follow my location." Could use some more research on the WebOS and iPhone mechanisms. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net ) _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
