Notes

Additional information for triggering phone, SMS and e-mail in SAPUI5 applications.

• iOS does not trigger a phone call if the phone number contains "*" or "#".

• You can add multiple recipients for a text message in Android phones by separating recipient numbers with ";".

• According to RFC 2368 you can set multiple subscribers for the e-mail application by separating each with ","; however, this still depends on the application. Outlook, for example, uses ";" as separator.

• You can use the sap.m.URLHelper.redirect method to use custom URL schemes:

  • For iOS:  http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/Introduction/Introduction.html

  • For Android:  http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html

  • URI schemes:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme

• If you just want to get a URI back without a redirect, you can use normalize methods which have the same parameter as trigger methods, for example:

  /*
   * These methods do not redirect but return URI scheme back as string.
   * All parameters are optional
   */
  sap.m.URLHelper.normalizeTel( [Telephone Number] );
  sap.m.URLHelper.normalizeSms( [Telephone Number] );
  sap.m.URLHelper.normalizeEmail( [Destination Email], [Subject], [Default Message Text], [CC], [BCC] );
