Can I load a local HTML file (with images and ...) into a WebView?
Just setting the Source parameter does not do the trick.
You can load it from a file as long as the file is part of the app package, e.g.:
WebView2.Source = new Uri("ms-appx-web:///assets/text.html");
From WebView.Navigate
WebView can load content from the application’s package using
ms-appx-web://, from the network using http/https, or from a string
using NavigateToString. It cannot load content from the application’s
data storage. To access the intranet, the corresponding capability
must be turned on in the application manifest.
For a 'random' file, I suppose you could prompt user via file picker to select the file then read it into a string and use NavigateToString, but the user experience there may be a bit odd depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
I was working at this problem for a long time and I found a way to do that:
At first you should save it in InstalledLocation folder. If you haven't option to create a new .html file you can just use file.CopyAsync(htmlFolder, fname + ".html");
Look into my example:
StorageFolder htmlFolder = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.CreateFolderAsync(#"HtmlFiles", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
IStorageFile file = await htmlFolder .CreateFileAsync(fname + ".html", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
and than you can easily open your .html file:
var fop = new FileOpenPicker();
fop.FileTypeFilter.Add(".html");
var file = await fop.PickSingleFileAsync();
if (file != null)
{
string myPath = file.Path.Substring(file.Path.IndexOf("HtmlFiles"));
myWebview.Navigate(new Uri("ms-appx-web:///" + myPath));
}
Remember just only from InstalledLocation you can open it with ms-appx-web:///

I want to save a Google Doc file as a pdf in the same Google Drive folder as my current file. I know I can download the file as a pdf, but then I have to upload it into the same Google Drive folder. I am trying to skip the upload step.
I have created a script to accomplish all of this, but I cannot get the images and drawings to be included in the resulting pdf.
Here is my code:
function onOpen() {
// Add a custom menu to the spreadsheet.
var ui = DocumentApp.getUi();
var menu = ui.createAddonMenu();
menu.addItem('Save As PDF','saveToPDF')
.addToUi();
}
function saveToPDF(){
var currentDocument = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
var parentFolder = DriveApp.getFileById(currentDocument.getId()).getParents();
var folderId = parentFolder.next().getId();
var currentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);
var pdf = currentDocument.getAs('application/PDF');
pdf.setName(currentDocument.getName() + ".pdf");
// Check if the file already exists and add a datecode if it does
var hasFile = DriveApp.getFilesByName(pdf.getName());
if(hasFile.hasNext()){
var d = new Date();
var dateCode = d.getYear()+ "" + ("0" + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "" + ("0" + (d.getDate())).slice(-2);
pdf.setName(currentDocument.getName() + "_" + dateCode +".pdf");
}
// Create the file (puts it in the root folder)
var file = DriveApp.createFile(pdf);
// Add to source document original folder
currentFolder.addFile(file);
// Remove the new file from the root folder
DriveApp.getRootFolder().removeFile(file);
}
Is there another way to create the pdf, save to the current Google Drive folder, and not lose the images?
UPDATE
I just tested and realized that even if I export as a pdf, the images and drawings aren't included. There has to be a way to do this.
UPDATE 2
I have been testing some more and have learned a few things:
Images in the header/footer are included if they are In line, but if I use Wrap text or Break text they are not.
Images in the body can be any of the three
However, if I use the "Project Proposal" template, they include an image in the footer with Break text and it exports to pdf. I can't tell why their image is any different.
I don't want to use In line because I want the image to touch both sides of the page and In line will always leave at least 1 pixel to the left of the image.
I have written a script that clicks on a link which can download a mp3 file. The problem I am facing is when the script simulates the click on that link, a download dialog box pops up like this:
Download Dialog Box
Now, I want to save this file to some path of my choice and automate this whole process. I am clueless on how to handle this dialog box.
Here's a script adapted from this blog post to download a file.
In SlimerJS it is possible to use response.body inside the onResourceReceived handler. However to prevent using too much memory it does not get anything by default. You have to first set page.captureContent to say what you want. You assign an array of regexes to page.captureContent to say which files to receive. The regex is applied to the mime-type. In the example code below I use /.*/ to mean "get everything". Using [/^image/.+$/] should just get images, etc.
var fs=require('fs');
var page = require('webpage').create();
fs.makeTree('contents');
page.captureContent = [ /.*/ ];
page.onResourceReceived = function(response) {
if(response.stage!="end" || !response.bodySize)
{
return;
}
var matches = response.url.match(/[/]([^/]+)$/);
var fname = "contents/"+matches[1];
console.log("Saving "+response.bodySize+" bytes to "+fname);
fs.write(fname,response.body);
phantom.exit();
};
page.onResourceRequested = function(requestData, networkRequest) {
//console.log('Request (#' + requestData.id + '): ' + JSON.stringify(requestData));
};
page.open("http://....mp3", function(){
});
You can't control a dialog box. SlimerJS doesn't have API for this action.
Firefox generates a temp "downloadfile.extension.part" file which contains the content. Just simply rename the file ex. myfile.csv.part > myfile.csv
locally if working on a mac you should find the .part file in the downloads directory, on linux /temp/ folder
Not the most elegant solution but should do the trick
We have a column that contains links to PDFs that starts on line 4 (e.g B4:B). I am trying to find a way to automatically download the PDF files that are accessed via the links to a folder on Drive. This is what I have so far:
function savePDFs() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
for (var i = 3; i < data.length; i++) {
Logger.log(data[i][1]);
}
}
Presumably the above code would write the links starting in column B (index value of [1]) on row 4 (i value of 3) (ie., B4) until the bottom of the data set (eg., data.length()).
I'm now confused about how to access and save the PDF link that are written in the logger to a folder.
Would someone be willing to help me out? I'm currently having to go to each link, click Save Link As... and then navigate to the folder that I'd like to save the linked PDF to. My hope is to modify the above process using code.
Update: I found this bit of code here that may help me out. Note, I changed the PDF link to a currently valid PDF link.
var urlOfThePdf = 'http://download.p4c.philips.com/l4b/9/929000277411_eu/929000277411_eu_pss_aenaa.pdf';// an example of online pdf file
var folderName = 'GAS';// an example of folder name
function saveInDriveFolder(){
var folder = DocsList.getFolder(folderName);// get the folder
var file = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlOfThePdf); // get the file content as blob
folder.createFile(file);//create the file directly in the folder
}
Okay, I'm going to go and noodle with the data that is in the logger to confirm that the data is in properly formatted PDF links, then I'm going to test this new bit of code out. I feel like I'm getting close.
You can't force a download of a file from an apps script, you must try that from an HTMLService and not sure it will work.
For your need I would recommend to create a dedicated folder and you add all the pdf in it and you use the download function of the drive interface to download all files in one clic.
In drive, a file can be put in several folders so the pdf files stay in the original folder but you create a new folder 'PDF for download" for example and you put them in it. To do that from drive interface you have to click on "shift"+Z when file(s) is/are selected.
For you current list of file you just have to add in your loop the add to folder function. You can use this function.
function addFileToFolder(id){
var folderPDF = DriveApp.getFolderById("Id OFFolder to put pdf");
var file = DriveApp.getFileById(id);
folderPDF.addFile(file);
}
EDIT : Function will browse list of url, get the file and make a copy in a dedicated folder on the user drive.
function downloadInDriveFolder(){
var folderID = 'Id of the folder';// put id of the folder
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID)// get the folder
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
for (var i = 3; i < data.length; i++) {
var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(data[i][1]).getContent();
var pdf = DriveApp.createFile(blob);
pdf.setName(data[i][0]);//Put as name of the file the value in col A
folder.addFile(pdf);
}
}
Well I figured it out. I was expecting more code, but this does it for me:
function listPDFs() {
var out = new Array();
var row = 3; //row index of 0 = row 1
var column = 4; // column index of 0 = column A
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("this is where you paste your folder id"); // destination folder (this is the 0978SDFSDFKJHSDF078Y98hkyo looking value when you right click your folder and select "Get Link")
for (var i=row ; i<data.length ; i++) {
if(data[i][column] !== "") {
var file = UrlFetchApp.fetch(data[i][column]);
folder.createFile(file);
}
}
return
}
As you can see, I included a row and column variable so that I could easily change these.
I haven't figured out how to assemble them into a merged PDF, but I did figure out that I could sort them by date (which places the top most item first) and then right click and select "Open With...PDF Mergy", which then moves the PDFs into PDF Mergy and merges them up in the correct order. You can find PDF Mergy in the Chrome App Store. If I figure out how to automatically call PDF Mergy from GAS, I'll post that up--but for the time being the above code has saved us a ton of time...so I'm calling it good enough for the time being.
use C#,want to upload excel file on google doc. bellow syntax use to upload a xls file
//use Content-Type: text/csv
entry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("E:\\Emailcontent.xls", "text/csv");
but it's not working ,after upload file convert to csv .But i don't want this conversion.I just want to upload my excel file in my google doc.Help me to upload excel file with out conversion.Thanks in advanced
string USERNAME = "xxx#gmail.com";
string PASSWORD = "xxxxx";
// Start the service and set credentials
DocumentsService service = new DocumentsService("MyDocumentsListIntegration-v1");
service.setUserCredentials(USERNAME, PASSWORD);
Authenticator authenticator = new ClientLoginAuthenticator("TestApi", Google.GData.Client.ServiceNames.Documents, service.Credentials);
DocumentEntry entry = new DocumentEntry();
// Set the document title
entry.Title.Text = "Legal Contract";
entry.IsSpreadsheet = true;
// Set the media source
//entry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("E:\\New Microsoft Office Word Document.doc", "application/msword");
entry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("E:\\Emailcontent.xls", "text/csv");
// Define the resumable upload link
Uri createUploadUrl = new Uri("https://docs.google.com/feeds/upload/create-session/default/private/full");
AtomLink link = new AtomLink(createUploadUrl.AbsoluteUri);
link.Rel = ResumableUploader.CreateMediaRelation;
entry.Links.Add(link);
// Set the service to be used to parse the returned entry
entry.Service = service;
// Instantiate the ResumableUploader component.
ResumableUploader uploader = new ResumableUploader();
// Set the handlers for the completion and progress events
uploader.AsyncOperationCompleted += new AsyncOperationCompletedEventHandler(OnDone);
uploader.AsyncOperationProgress += new AsyncOperationProgressEventHandler(OnProgress);
// Start the upload process
uploader.InsertAsync(authenticator, entry, new object());
You are passing an xls (Excel) file as a text/csv. If you want to upload as xls, use
entry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("E:\\Emailcontent.xls", "text/csv");
If you want to upload as xls, use
entry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("E:\\Emailcontent.xls", "application/vnd.ms-excel");
Here is the wikipedia/google search that I used:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type
To ensure documents aren't converted when you upload them, you should also append ?convert=false to the upload uri.
I want to read the filenames from the win8 music library and show them in a metro app.
You can access the music library by this:
SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.MusicLibrary
You can play it in a metro app like this for example:
MediaElement snd = new MediaElement();
StorageFolder folder = await Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFolderAsync("Sounds");
StorageFile file = await folder.GetFileAsync("bee.wav");
var stream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read);
snd.SetSource(stream, file.ContentType);
snd.Play();
You can change location, I used this location within my app
Change the app manifest in its "Capabilities" section to state you
will be accessing the user's Music Library
Change the app manifest in its "Declarations" section to state you
will be using a File Picker (the old File Open dialog)
You can then use code similar to this:
var openPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
openPicker.viewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.thumbnail;
openPicker.suggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.picturesLibrary;
openPicker.fileTypeFilter.replaceAll([".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg"]);
