Launch AppStudio Map Tour Template at a specific page index using AppLink?

Question

2 part question:

* How to set up a custom applink? I found this
* Generally speaking, what does the code look like in qml to parse an applink query string and open the map tour template at a specific page? This is the behaviour we want, but in AppStudio

Cheers,

Hi,

Launching Map Tour at a specific page through a custom URL Scheme is supported since AppStudio 3.0 release.

You can check how to use it in this blog post.  I hope it helps

Thanks,

Tina

As a follow-on to this, based on the queryParameters I'd like to bypass the landing page and open up a particular map tour from the gallery - there may be 10 tours in the gallery. What would the code look like to do this?

Thanks,

Matt

Matt, no it is not possible to test this within the player. You will need to have a built app installed on your device. You can install a built app and test the app's link by accessing the link from a browser. Doing this prompts you to launch the app.

I can, for example, write the app below, and give it an app link of applink1. When I build and install the app on my device, I can call it from a browser by visiting the link applink1://?latitude=40

import QtQuick 2.7

import ArcGIS.AppFramework 1.0

App {
    id: app

width: 400
    height: 640

Text {
        id: txt
        text: "No parameter called latitude exists"
        anchors.fill: parent
        wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
        font.pointSize: 24
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
    }

onOpenUrl: {
        var urlInfo = AppFramework.urlInfo(url);
        var openParameters = urlInfo.queryParameters;

if (openParameters.hasOwnProperty("latitude")) {
            txt.text = "Latitude is " + openParameters.latitude;
        }
    }
}
