ios - Sending an URL alongside text using WhatsApp URL scheme -


i'm trying send text accompanied url using whatsapp's custom url scheme. there's apparently 1 valid parameter purpose: text:

nsurl *whatsappurl = [nsurl urlwithstring:@"whatsapp://send?text=hello%2c%20world!"];

the problem comes when want append own url text. opted encode using this:

nsstring *encodedurlstring = (nsstring *)cfbridgingrelease(cfurlcreatestringbyaddingpercentescapes(                                                                                   null,                                                                                   (cfstringref)urlabsolutestring,                                                                                   null,                                                                                   (cfstringref)@"!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[]",                                                                                   kcfstringencodingutf8 ));

the url sent whatsapp alongside text doesn't decoded on whatsapp's side:

whatsapp not decoding url

any ideas? thank you!

you're approaching correctly, appears url being double-encoded. make sure both message , url encoded once.

using same encoding method, can so:

nsstring *urlabsolutestring = @"hello world! http://yayvisitmysiteplease.com?funky=parameter&stuff"; nsstring *encodedurlstring = ...

that should give url execute:

whatsapp://send?text=hello%20world%21%20http%3a%2f%2fyayvisitmysiteplease.com%3ffunky%3dparameter%26stuff

that makes way whatsapp you'd expect. (i verified make double sure.)

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
