Question

Quick question, I am using Adobe AIR to develop an app under iPad. Why navigateToURL not open up the Safari under iPad? it works under Android.

if(e == 'pdf')
{
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e)
    {
        var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);
        var url:String = 'http://files.au2.schneider-electric.com/locator/index.php?controller=pdfGenerator&action=fetchroom&roomid=' + variables.roomid + '&userid=0';
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

        try
        {
            navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); // second argument is target
        }
        catch(e:Error)
        {
            trace("Error occurred!");
        }
    });
}

Just wondering is it Adobe Air can’t open browsers on Mobiles Devices at all?

Answer 1

I don’t think you can expect that PDFs load like regular webpages on iOS. This is untested, but the idea is to create a StageWebView instance, using it to load the PDF:

var swv:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
swv.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,wid,ht);
swv.stage = stage;
swv.loadURL( someUrl );

EDIT:

See the Adobe docs on StageWebView as well.
