Question

I use phonegap (cordova 2.2)

I have link like this :

<a href="http://twitter.com/foobar" target="_blank">twitter</a>

On iOS – it opens link in browser(Safari)

But on Android – it opens inside webview(inside my phonegap app)

Is there a way to make Android work same way as iOS ?

Answer 1

This is how I got it working using Cordova 2.2 and jQuery mobile on Android

Javascript:

$('.link').live('tap', function() {
    url = $(this).attr("rel");   
    loadURL(url);
});

function loadURL(url){
    navigator.app.loadUrl(url, { openExternal:true });
    return false;
} 

html:

<a href='#' class='link' rel='http://www.someurl.com'>Go Somewhere</a>
