In order to give SeattleClouds users even more tools to design feature-rich interactive applications, we have created a custom set of URL schemes. Some of them are platform specific, others will run equally well on both iOS and Android. Please, look through the list bellow and see how you can enrich your apps.

URL Scheme Description Platform Support

  Example:
<a href="addtocart://id?itemname=name&itemprice=price&urlimg=imag​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​e.png&u​r​l​i​n​f​​​o​=​i​n​f​o​"​>​​​Add item to your shopping cart</a>
