Sent text to notes

I'm trying to add a 'copy to notes' button in my app which sends a text to the notes app of ios. Is there any possib开发者_StackOverflow社区le way to integrate this? I've done some research and didn't find anything and since I've never seen it in an other app I guess it's not possible, but I thought It was worth a question.

Good question. Situations like the one you describe are always handled with URL schemes using the UIApplication method openURL:. For example, to launch the phone app with a specific number you could do:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:1-234-567-8910"];

Or to launch the Mail app:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"mailto:nobody@example.com"];

Just to show a few examples. The Apple URL Scheme Reference document describes all of the various URL schemes to integrate with different system apps. Nowhere in this document does it mention a URL scheme for the built in Notes app. If it were possible to send text to the Notes app, I would expect the document to advertise the fact. While it's not conclusive proof that it's not possible, I still think it should be cited as strong evidence of such.

Note that there are likely several third party note-taking apps that have their own custom URL scheme that may support launching with text.
