Android - Web Browser

  • #1, z darren-beckettFriday, 24. March 2017, 11:58 hodinky 8 years ago
    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.

    what does os.execute return when you print it? 

    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.
