Android - Web Browser

  • #1, by darren-beckett Friday, 24. March 2017, 11:58 9 years ago Quote
    Hi,

    I'm trying (and failing) to to open a web browser from within the Android App.

    None of these work:
    startDefaultBrowser(url)


os.execute("start " .. url) 

os.execute("open " .. url) 

os.execute('start "" "' .. url .. '"') 

os.execute('open "" "' .. url .. '"') 

os.execute("am start -n com.android.browser/com.android.browser.BrowserActivity ".. url)

    Is there something you guys need to do within the Android APK?

    os.execute("am start -n com.android.browser/com.android.browser.BrowserActivity "..url)

    That's something i've tried, it does nthing either.

    I don't think the App has Internet settings/permissions.

    The last part of the script is output to the log and it shows how many milliseconds it took.

    Each of the options i tried took a different amount of time.

    No errors though.

    No worries Seb, we need the devs to get involved.
