Hi All,

I am trying to launch a secondary app from my main app by using Launch() and it is working. But I want to go back to the place I left in the main app after closing the secondary app. Is it possible?

Please help me. Thank you.

@Thura , by the place you left, do you mean the screen you were in before the app closes?

Hi @AhmedSalih,

Yes. The screen in the main app before launching the secondary app.

I have found this but not sure how to apply.. When I enter Launch("https://abc", {Navigate: "Third Screen"} it is not working 😞

@Thura ,

As per your PM, this gets a bit complex, but possible (I do it on one of mine). You need to send whatever parameters you need as "deep linked" code to the second app (you do not have to use it in the app) and then send them back to the first. You would need a button on the second to do this.

As an example if it is the ID of the record you were working on and you want the Edit screen, you would test for the existence of the parameter, then if present, set a Variable for the record ID, navigate to the screen and set the Item of the screen looking up the list for the Variable.

Thank you for your quick reply. I have a button to launch another app in both apps. I use Launch("https://abc") (as example). It will launch another app and navigate to the first screen of the app. But I am trying to navigate the last screen of the main app after closing the second app.

Do you have any step by step guide line or videos or something for me to refer? I am just a beginner and I am not sure how the things works.

@Thura ,

Here is a video from Shane Young @Shanescows on the Deep Linking process. You will need to get your mind around what is happening, but as I mentioned, you only have to "store" the reference in the second app (just send it and use it on the return button) and then use it to do what you need on the first one.
