URL Schema for iPhone.

This is just a little snippet that explains how you write your own URL schema for iPhone. You can use it i either in safari or a native application. 

From safari:

<a href=”maps://your-location-or-something”>Go to maps</a>

From a native application:

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@”your-location-or-something”];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

[url release];

The cool thing about this is if got your own app lets call it cookbook you can use URL schema from safari just by cookbook:// and you’ll be redirected to your app.

I am cuckoo for cocoa touch!
