Web-Email Links
Web and email links can be placed in the description field and/or the note field. When present, the Weblink icon is displayed on the event (a Blue W with an arrow coming out of the top) and an extra line appears in the Edit Dialog, just below the note field to display the links.
Web links
Web links consist of a string of text starting with one of these tags:
http://
https://
www.
If Pimlical sees these strings of text, the event is marked as having a "weblink". All text up to the End of Line or vertical bar (|) is considered to be the link. There is no limit to the number of URL's you can place in the note or description fields, just separate each one with an end of line or vertical bar.
Email links
To set an email link, use mailto: immediately followed by the email address of the person - for example:
To set a link to a local file, use file:// followed by the full path in the Android file system to the file. For example, placing file://sdcard/pimlical/default.txt would
result in a text editor like Jota+ being launched to edit that file.
Unknown file types (based upon extension) will simply display an error
message that no associated application can be found. (A future release
may provide a file browser/navigator to select a file for this purpose).
Invoking the links
To invoke the link, go into the Edit Dialog and you will notice that there is another line, not normally visible, underneath the note field. Click on the button containing the URL(s) and if there is only one URL, Pimlical immediately invokes that link. If there are two or more, a selection list appears so you can choose which web/email link you want to invoke.
Weblinks bring up the web page, while email links bring up your default email program on the device with the subject line filled in with the description field of the event. To exit out of the web page or email, just press the back button.
