Checks URL's scheme can be handled or not by some app that installed on the device.
To pass this method, URL schemes must be declared into "Info.plist" file for iOS and AndroidManifest.xml file for Android.
for Google Maps
(Info.plist entry)
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>comgooglemaps</string>
</array>
After entry add on, urlScheme can be check;
import Linking from "@smartface/native/global/linking";
const isAppAvaible = Linking.canOpenUrl("comgooglemaps://");
(AndroidManifest.xml entry)
<manifest ...>
...
<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data android:scheme="geo"/>
</intent>
</queries>
</manifest>
const Application = require("@smartface/native/application");
const isAppAvaible = Application.canOpenUrl("geo://");

Launches another application and passes data. For Android, you can open application chooser with isShowChooser parameter and set chooser dialog title with chooserTitle. If an app can open a given URL resource onSuccess callback will be triggered otherwise onFailure will be triggered.
import Linking from '@smartface/native/global/linking';
// Calling application's Google Play Store page. Note that this will not launch iOS App Store.
Linking.openURL({
uriScheme: "market://details",
data: {
'id': Application.android.packageName
}
});
// Open caller app with phone number.
Linking.openURL({ uriScheme: "tel:+901234567890", data: {} });
// Call another application with its own url schema.
Linking.openURL({
uriScheme: "mySchema://",
data: {
key: encodeURIComponent("Smartace Encoded Data")
},
onSuccess: function() {
alert("Application call completed")
},
onFailure: function() {
alert("Application call failed")
}
});
// Call another application with package name and activity name. Works only for Android.
Linking.openURL({ uriScheme: "io.smartface.SmartfaceDev|io.smartface.SmartfaceDev.A", data: {} });
// Call Smartface Emulator with url schema.
Linking.openURL({ uriScheme: "smartface-emulator://", data : {} });
// Open Youtube with Chooser for Android
Linking.openURL({
uriScheme: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMLU9mfzHYI",
data: {},
onSuccess: function() {
alert("Application call completed")
},
onFailure: function() {

Generated using TypeDoc
Linking gives you a general interface to interact with both incoming and outgoing app links. Every Link (URL) has a URL Scheme, some websites are prefixed with https:// or http:// and the http is the URL Scheme. Let's call it scheme for short. In addition to https, you're likely also familiar with the mailto scheme. When you open a link with the mailto scheme, your operating system will open an installed mail application. Similarly, there are schemes for making phone calls and sending SMS.
