Hi,
I understand you are trying to pass an argument from the URL of the app to the app itself.
I’ll suggest few basic steps that will help you in the same-
- The first step is defining the URL structure. In your example, the URL `www.matlabapp.com/app1?dropdownItem=2` includes the `dropdownItem` parameter with a value of `2`.
- In the next step you’ll have to retrieve that argument in your app. In MATLAB, you can use the `webread` function to retrieve the URL and extract the parameter value:
url = 'http://www.matlabapp.com/app1?dropdownItem=2';
dropdownItem = webread(url, 'dropdownItem');
- Once you have the value of the `dropdownItem` parameter, you can use it to preselect the corresponding item in your dropdown. In MATLAB, assuming you have a dropdown object named `myDropdown`, you can set the selected item based on the `dropdownItem` value:
myDropdown.Value = dropdownItem;
I have assumed that your dropdown items are zero-based indexed. If your dropdown items are one-based indexed, you will need to adjust the value accordingly.
Additionally refer to the documentation of ‘webread’ from MathWorks for better understanding
I hope this resolves your query!
