How to call a different app?
-
I'm looking to call a drawing app, draw a pic there, call another app, upload that pic to Wordpress, and then come back to Editorial and add a link for the pic I've just drawn. Is it possible to do this?
For me, the difficult part is to call the drawing app and wait with the workflow until I'm finished there.

You will have to find a drawing app that supports custom uri or x-callback-url's.
Some folks in pythonista land have made simple drawing apps, that can run directly in editorial or pythonista.https://gist.github.com/SebastianJarsve/5297697
Though this example would need to be added to in order to save what is on the canvas

With ios7 you can only call the drawing app and get a picture back if the drawing app supports
x-callback URLand I doubt if any do. A workaround would be to first use the drawing program and put the drawing in Dropbox (where it would be visible to Editorial), then do the Wordpress things. I haven't used Wordpress. -
Wondering if Data URLs as part of HTML are a way of passing a graphic back. Not that any software necessarily exports in that format.

Thanks, I thought so already.
