launchDefaultForUri

fun launchDefaultForUri(uri: String, context: AppLaunchContext? = null): <Error class: unknown class><Boolean>

Utility function that launches the default application registered to handle the specified uri. Synchronous I/O is done on the uri to detect the type of the file if required.

The D-Bus–activated applications don’t have to be started if your application terminates too soon after this function. To prevent this, use func@Gio.AppInfo.launch_default_for_uri_async instead.

Return

TRUE on success, FALSE on error.

Parameters

uri

the uri to show

context

optional launch context
