I created a simple application, which I wanted to share with my friends. So, I uploaded the apk of the application to my wiki page using attach file function. But, web browser embedded in my Nexus-1 cannot download the apk file.
I tried to attach a simple text file to the wiki page and succeeded to download the file with the browser. And also, I can download the file if the file is linked with HTML's <a> tag. Therefore I think that this is neither the problem of wiki's file attachment handling nor the problem of the browser's apk file handling.
Any idea?
Is your wiki on a secure server (https?)? Android browser as an issue downloading from secure sites.
If that's the case, try skyfire browser from market. Its free.

I also have problems downloading apks with the built in browser - that's when I switch to xScopeBrowser. Works every time.
None of them works for me
Thanks for suggestions but none of them works for me. :-(

Guys,
I have a load of internet shortcuts (bookmarks) on my PPC under Windows\Favorites which are read by PIE and are displayed on QuickMenu however!...
When I try and run one of these files and choose either PIE or Opera, I get in the address bar (url) the location of the file and not the website it supposedly points to.
If I choose the favorite from within PIE then all is well. Strange!!!
I've been looking for an answer for a while now and am drawing a blank.
Please someone help. I'm starting to get a headache
Oh, I should probably tell you I have WM6.1 Pro (HTC Touch HD).
Thanks

Windows Mobile doesn't read ".url" file naively. The files you are messing with are resourse files for the browsers (the browsers pull information from the file, you can't push the information by clicking them) There are programs that open your 'internet favorites" (m2d, ultimate launch, and "Interent link launcher")
Thanks for the reply joel2009!
Is there an app that I can install that can handle the .url file type and run the browser with the url from the file?
Anyone able to answer this?...
quickmenu loads as favorites, the contents of the favorites folder inside the windows directory. Now if I delete this favorites folder from the windows directory, on Quickmenu, all I'm left with under favorites is a few Opera shortcuts that load Opera and do work.
Any ideas where these Opera favorites are found so I can manually add to this list?
Thanks for your help!
Wayne
interent link launcher uses mortsript to open internet link files (i'm not sure of the extension, i haven't had time to try it yet)
On the opera favorites, opera asks you where you want to save the bookmark file too when you create one.
Come on guys.....
I've found this and if you go down the list and find \urlfile\Shell\Open\Command : REG_SZ it shows the necessary registry entry that is needed to run a url file from explorer and when run this file opens within IE correctly.
There must be a command switch that follows OPERA9.EXE or OPERAL.EXE that interprets the file correctly and opens the web page.
For now I've got it set to open files in to IE. Not great but nearly what I want.
(I posted about this last night, but it got lost -- apologies if the old one comes back and I look like I've posted twice.)
I worked out a solution to this problem, and posted it up at ppcgeeks. You have to install mortscript, but otherwise it's not too bad, and has been working flawlessly for me.

Hope it helps.
I have SKTools, Total Commander, and Registry Key Editors.
I tried setting up file associations to open URL files, but it doesn't work. Only PIE opens the URL files by default.
Can I get the instructions to open URL files with Opera Browser?
Bump, please help me.
This is my 1st bump.
Bump, please help me.
This is my 2nd bump.
As far as I know you can set up thatparameters typing opera:config on your device
Hope it helped,
So do you mean the file associations parameters should be "opera:config"?
URL associations are set up by the app you're using.
if opera is defined as your default browser any url you'll open will automatically pop opera up.
Okay, I am using File Explorer and Total Commander. I want to Open .url files with Opera, it opens with PIE instead.
How do I open it?
What is a "default calendar"?
When I set URL file association for Total Commander, the link does not go online, instead it brings me to an error page. Under the URL box in Opera Browser, it would not show www.google.com, instead it would show something like: storage card/%mystuff/%20favorite links
So if I copied a google.com url into my phone storage card, I want to open it and GO ONLINE with Opera Browser NOT PIE. How do i do this?
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT, SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT KIND OF FILE I AM TALKING ABOUT.
meant browser.. not calendar.
when you setup a default browser it will open up all urls in it... automatically

I used Xperia Tweak to setup Opera Browser as my default browser, I still open google.url and it opens with PIE.
My basic file program is Total Commander.
BTW I am not talking about Microsoft Windows. I am talkin about Windows Mobile, and the phone I use is the Xperia X1.
Why is everyone giving me confusing answers. I'm getting more and more confused.
I have looked extremely hard for file associations for opera browser, and this is what i got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1714441
I do not use morthscript though, and I'm afraid digging into will cause me to factory reset my phone again, and I have rest my phone 10 times already.
Please, tell me if there is any other way to Open URLs via Opera Browser.
I have this program which i downloaded ages ago. I cant remember where i got it from, so im just uploading it myself. Just to clarify, this is NOT my program.
You know how on a pc, you can right click and select "Open with"?
Well, this cab brings that to pocket pc's
Hope it helps
Yeah this is exactly what I was looking for. The thread link from one of my posts also talks about "open with" method. But I don't want to use mortscript.
If your cab is not going to work, I guess I will give up searching for a solution.
Anyways thanks, you are my miracle!.
Here is an update:
Nope... it opens Opera Browser but than it doesn't go to the website (the same exact thing happens if I set file associations for Opera, and the same exact thing still happens if I use the registry editor to change association values, xperia tweak doesn't work, total commander built in file associations doesn't work, sk tools file associations doesn't work either).
I GIVE UP
Registry settings
Hi
Registry settings where file defaults are is:
Hot Key Classes Root.
In this directory there are hundreds (or more) keys relating to all the different file extensions that are associated with programmes, etc. You need to look for:
.htm
.html
htmfile
htmlfile
There may be others. Basically if these keys exist the values you're looking for are the ones with the browser executable listed in them, for example opera9.exe/operaL.exe, iexplore.exe.
I hope that helps

as i see it you ar not talking of .htm or .html files.
You are talking off .url File's
normaly (xp) they are handled by the protocol handler
in wm6.1 there is no such thing and it is directly handeled by iexplore
opera wil not handle these i gues
you need to find a app that reads the urlfile an launh the app with the correct parrameters
you also need this
\hkcr\http,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\http\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
\hkcr\https,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\https\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
or you can try http://sourceforge.net/projects/jzsmartmort

It involves installing Mortscript, and having it handle passing the links to Opera. Seems to be working perfectly for me so far. Hopefully my instructions are not too convoluted. Enjoy.
Hi Guys,
I am having a problem at the moment. When I try and open a URL that ends in .jpg, Internet Explorer Mobile wants to download and open it. I want the image to simply open in Internet Explorer Mobile. It can obviously render images, as it does it all the time, but seemingly not when the URL ends in .jpg.
I tested the link on a desktop version of IE and it didn't ask to download, it just showed the image, which suggests to me it is not using "Application/Force-Download". I am going to try on another mobile web browser like Opera.
Does anybody know why this is? Or, is there a registry tweak to fix it? Thank you everyone for any information you can provide. It will help me greatly with a project I am working on.
PS I have "View Images" turned on in Internet Explorer Mobile, so that is not the problem.
i'm not so sure this is a problem.
which internet explorer are you using?
I think the new internet explorer shows images rather than downloading them.
Thanks for your reply. I have gotten around the problem by putting the link (it's static) inside a blank html page. Works perfectly now. Cheers!
i'm sorry, but what did you do before? tried to put the link in a PIE window with a website already loaded?
Sorry, let me be very specific:
I needed to get PIE to load an image inside the web browser, simple as entering the URL address and up comes the image.
However, PIE won't do that (could be a VGA problems specific to Imate phones I heard). Instead it asks if you want to download it, which I don't.
So, to fix the problem I have written a html page that basically says:
<html><head>
<Src img="www.website.com/June/Image.jpg">
</head></html>
Using this way, the image is forced to open inside PIE.
I needed it for a mod I am making for HTC Home and Manilla 2D.
Oh.. i thought you just put it inside a blank PIE window instead of one already loaded with a webpage.. hehe
good to know then.
the new PIE loads images regularly tho, doesn't download them.
cheers
Hi,
Does anyone know of an app that can create a mirror of a website, or download the whole website (with filters for filename or filetype). In particular I need to rip off images from the site.
On a PC this can be done with Httrack Web Copier or offline browsers.
Thanks!!

wget is the easiest way, and I think it's included with busybox
Theres also an app called "SD Card Offline HTML Browser".
Thanks guys.
SD Card Offline HTML browser can only view sites stored on the SD that were ripped from wget etc. But that will be handy too.
I'm looking more into wget (I do have it just need to learn how to use it). I guess this is only for root though.
My app WebLiveWallpaper can do this for images as a byproduct. Select 'Dump all images' in 'System Settings'.
You can do a lot of stuff there in the 'Advanced Settings' with regular expressions.
I am also working on extracting and enhancing this functionality (also dump complete websites) into a separate app but this will take some more time ...

man, your app is really cool...it looks like something different but it has a ton of options...if u can develop this further into a complete image/content extraction tool. this would be awesome
ive been playing around with it but havent been able to do what i have wanted yet...will try some more!
Firstly, I am having some problems with wget: it does not resolve hostnames
Even when I give it an IP address, it still picks up another hostname from somewhere that it cant resolve...I think its a known problem, but I dont know how to update my busybox or wget
Secondly, WebLiveWallpaper is a deceptively good program, but I have 2 problems with it. Firstly it is VERY slow (even with WiFi) in downloading and dumping the images. Secondly I had problems in grabbing images from multiple levels above. It works fine if all the images are on the same page. But nevertheless it does the trick.
WebLiveWallpaper app: if you did not already use you should try advanced settings static gallery set to a high number. That will speed up loading after the first picture very, very much. The app needs to explain everything better but I have not enough time ...

Hello
I've downloaded a website using WinHTTrack, more specifically a thread from a forum on here - hopefully this is allowed, to view offline. I've copied it to phones sd card but when I try to open it (a page), in Google Chrome, it starts to load but then stops about half way.
Is there something I need to do within Chrome to make it load or are there any (alternative) apps I can use.
Can anyone help/advise, please?
Thanks
For those of you, if any. who are wondering the same thing the answer is Firefox (my preference) or Opera.
