Question

I am building an HTML5 app with MoSync and I would like to open a URL in the device’s default webbrowser from the JavaScript. Could you please paste some example code how could this be done?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Right now you need to write some code in C++ to open an external browser. Here is a blog post that describes how to do that:

In the upcoming MoSync SDK 3.2.1 and MoSync Reload 1.0, this functionality will be available directly from JavaScript by calling:

mosync.app.openExternalURL("http://yourpage.com");
