Quick PIE question - General Questions and Answers

how to set files in pocket internet explorer from http to automaticaly parse the link download to other application just like the java application integrates to PIE
I mean when you click on a link in PIE that leads to a Jad file, it parses the link to the Java midlet manager,
I want to do the same but to parse the links to OTHER programs

i'm not sure.. but if these are specific file types you're referring to you might be able to associate them with a different application using Advanced Config..

thanks for helping nir36 but i'm afraid that's not what I needed,
I want to know how to launch a program with a parameter like http:// with the link and full path including the extention of the file I wish to download, when clicked on a link in the pocket internet explorer.
BUT not link to files in my memory,
Links to files in http:// servers
Just like Jbed uses the Ieplugin.dll to integrate PIE and intercept *.jar files to download with Jbed.
.do you know how?
Sorry I cannot explain it easier

[Q] local htm files

hello guys
if any one can tell me how to open local html files with internet explorer or opera mini in offline mode.
IE doesnt' seem to allow the file:// URI scheme, and (at least on stock ROMs) runs with so little permissions it's unable to see almost any files anyhow. Since you have Opera, you're presumably on a full-unlock custom ROM. You could try specifying the apth the file for Opera (or IE; I've never tried on a custom ROM). Either use file:///path/to/the/file.htm or \path\to\the\file.htm.
thank for the reply.but i tried to make that address i.e.169.132......to open an index html file located at root directory but nothing happen.if u give me some detail on this method it would be great.i read some questions at microsoft support but some code written in ms.studio and subsequent compilation could help.my rom is deepshining 7.3 and my phone is hd7
thanks in advance.
Waaaaait, you did what? Nothing in what you wrote looks like what I said you should try. You don't need to run any code, for example. You also shouldn't be entering an IP address, unless you're actually running a webserver on your phone.
If the file is called "index.htm" and is located in the phone's root directory ("\"), then you should have tried either "\index.htm" or "file://index.htm" or "file:///index.htm". These are standard ways to create a local-path URI
You could also try running a webserver, of course. The "Root Webserver" app linked in my signature will run just fine on your ROM. You'll need to make sure that it keeps running in the background (the "NoDehydrate" hack can help here, see my MultiTaskToggle app for an easy way to enable it), then run it, hit the Start button (not Back, as that would exit the webserver), load IE, and then go to 127.0.0.1. You'll need to move or copy the file to the webserver's "Content" folder, then go to 127.0.0.1/Content/index.htm.
thanks for the quick reply .i did not make any code but the question at ms.was about ability of applications to open local help files.
i will try the method u mentioned and reply asap.
i tried all posible paths but always "internal comun.error" in opera .i should give it a try using web server and tell u the result.thanks

Possible to download files on device?

Is it possible to download files (RAR) on the device using internet and transfer it later to the PC? I don't think its possible in stock ROM but perhaps an App or something.
My device is Dev+Interop unlocked.
if you find where ie9 stores temporary downloaded file, like pdf, mp4 ecc ecc, i can tell you how to complete the download, and, once completed, tranfer the file to the pc...
It's very possible (download any file that fits to handset's isolated storage file from your homebrew app, and transfer that file to PC using ISETool.exe) but why not use cloud file storage such as SkyDrive, DropBox etc.? If you have no experience with DropBox, click on link in my signature; it's very simple and useful

I think I can find it. Will I be able to save files like RAR too?

I think I would then have to transfer twice.

Yes it is possible to download files. I do it with ultrashot's Opera Mobile port which allows you to select the location of the downloaded files and transfer it using Gooddaytodie's Webserver
Opera Mobile requires full-unlock, so that's not an option for the OP.
Downloaded files typically go to \Application Data\Volatile\<SUBFOLDER> where <SUBFOLDER> depends on where and how they were downloaded (IE, email attachment, etc.).
If you look at the source for my XapHandler app, you'll see how an app can register a filetype. You'd need to do this, or the phone will simply refuse to download extensions that it doesn't recognize (hmm... I wonder if a .* handler would work?)

If Opera Mobile can do, then perhaps some other browser can do that too? Metro internet explorer doesn't work
All the browsers that are based on the IE engine will be unable to do it until the necessary registry keys in HKCR are created. An app can manually download from a URI and save the resulting file, but in the WebBrowserControl if the user clicks a link to a file the handling for what to do with the file is the same as on IE.

yes I can see why it doesn't work. So, does an app like that exists in the MP?

No. And nobody here not even meant marketplace. Interop-unlock + homebrew only.
BTW, could you share with us your scenario: why do you need to download rar archive to the phone and transfer to the PC? I still can't achieve why do you need things like this.

well the thing is, sometimes I need to download files which may take a while to download completely. So, I can download on the go with the cellular data and then transfer to PC when home. Sometimes the file download is completed in the time same as reaching from work to home.
ok, i'll solve the mistere the only thing u need to do is to add a reg key in hkcr , it will be called .rar for rar files etc...then insisde it u create a string that names Default, the value is rarfile
u go back to hkcr, and create a key that is called rarfile, inside it u will create a dword named EditFlags and with the value of 65536
that's all, now you need to know where ie9 stores data...

I don't know if it'll work or not but can you guide the how-to. I can edit the reg-edit using MFG. It has following options:
Root Path
Sub Path
Input key and type
Input data
Just confirming as incorrect reg edit can render unstable.

Oh, I see... Seems like India still have a "last mile" problem and your cell connection is more reliable and faster than home internet. For countries with fast broadband home internet connection this "feature" just have no sense.

ok, this is what you have to do:
-open mfg, engineer menu, other settings, edit registry

SET
-without closing
root path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
input sub path: rarfile

[Q] How to unzip file in wp7???

I am newbie in Windows Phone 7 development.
I am trying to unzip a file that was downloaded to isolatedstorage in WP7.
I have tried with ShapZipLib but with no success. Does anyone have an example on how to do this in WP7?
Thanks a lot !
seems like there is no way to unzip a file in isolated storage ,but you can browse a zip file via IE........ if that zip file is on the internet

Use DotNetZip library, it has a SL implementation (works fine on WP7 but requires some minor tweaking).
By the way, if you have problems with SharpZipLib (also works fine on WP7 but also requires some tweaking/reassembling), I'll recommend you to learn more about WP7/Silverlight programming first. Sorry I have no time to teach you how to write programs on WP7...
WP7 actually has a Silverlight API to extract specific files from a ZIP archive directly. This is technically an undocumented use of this API, but it does work:
Uri filename, zipname;
filename = new Uri("<FILE_TO_UNZIP_FROM_ARCHIVE>", UriKind.Relative);
zipname = new Uri(@"\Applications\Data\<APP_GUID_HERE>\Data\IsolatedStore\<ZIP_ARCHIVE_NAME.ZIP>", UriKind.Relative);
Stream filestream = Application.GetResourceStream(Application.GetResourceStream(zipname), filename).Stream;
Then, you can use standard Stream functions to read the file from within the ZIP, including write it to an IsolatedStore file.
The only undocumented part of this is that you actually can pass fully-qualified paths to the Uri constructor and then open them using GetResourceStream... just so long as the Uri is constructed as Relative (even though it's not) and the file is one that the app has permissions to read (which typically means its Install directory, its data directory, and the Windows directory). The use of nested Application.GetResourceStream to read inside a ZIP file is actually documented.

Any ideas?

Did you use RAR file archiver? Cause I tried this before using FX file explorer but it doesn't work. RAR file archiver was my option.

Or maybe while the app is setting up things and downloading the .OBB file something went wrong... Btw here's a new thread for the newer version of Office apps that currently doesn't have these .OBB files.
OP, there's no reason to create new threads for updates. Just edit and update the one and only thread next time. Otherwise you only create confusion and forum clutter.
You've already linked to the new thread, so I'll close this one.
