Abstract
An approach is provided for the presentation of an actionable object on a mobile device. A presentation of an actionable object is initiated on a mobile device. The actionable object invokes an action. An input from a user specifying selection of the actionable object is received. Whether the mobile device is able to complete the action is determined. If the mobile device cannot complete the action, the action is substituted with an alternative action relating to the actionable object.
