===== Launching Other Apps =====

From iViewer, you can force other apps to be launched on Button press by assigning the URL Property of the button to a specific URL Scheme for the app you want to launch.
Note that not all apps can be launched. The developer of the app must enable the feature and assign a special URL Scheme for their app to allow it to be launched from other apps.

iViewer will then either close or go to the background (depending if you have multitasking enabled in [[software:iviewer:settings|iViewer settings]] or not) whilst the desired app is launched.

A common request is the ability to launch the Apple Remote app. For this, use the following as the button [[software:gui-designer:buttons#url|URL property]]:\\
''remote:%%//%%''

Sonos App is another common request, and they have implemented the following URL Scheme:\\
''sonos:%%//%%''

For other apps, try a Google search to find the URL Scheme for the specific app you need to launch. Or try contacting the app developer to find the information first hand.
