I want solution for same using Node.js
@FokkeZB Using the Intent Anchor on Android will not work correctly if the App is already running in the background. The app will surely open, but alloy.js (Titanium) will not run when the app is only resumed.
This is the js only version:
<script>
// DETECTA EL TIPO DE DISPOSITIVO (USER AGENT)
var IS_IPAD = navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null,
IS_IPHONE = !IS_IPAD && ((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) != null) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i) != null)),
IS_IOS = IS_IPAD || IS_IPHONE,
IS_ANDROID = !IS_IOS && navigator.userAgent.match(/android/i) != null,
IS_MOBILE = IS_IOS || IS_ANDROID;
console.log("IPAD " + IS_IPAD);
console.log("IPHONE " + IS_IPHONE);
console.log("IOS " + IS_IOS);
console.log("ANDROID " + IS_ANDROID);
console.log("MOBILE " + IS_MOBILE);
this.open();
function open() {
console.log("open");
// If it's not an universal app, use IS_IPAD or IS_IPHONE
if (IS_IOS) {
window.location = "myapp://view?id=123";
setTimeout(function() {
// If the user is still here, open the App Store
if (!document.webkitHidden) {
// Replace the Apple ID following '/id'
window.location = 'http://itunes.apple.com/app/id1234567';
}
}, 25);
} else if (IS_ANDROID) {
// Instead of using the actual URL scheme, use 'intent://' for better UX
// I USED THE SAME
window.location = 'myapp://view?id=123';
}
}
</script>
But the problem that I have is that Chrome is blocking the navigation.
I've tested with Android so it works with the native Internet browser but not with Chrome.
Anyone knows how to allow Chrome to navigate?
All, I wasn't receiving notifications for these comments for a while, but opening a Titanium app via an URL has been buggy, in particular on Android. See https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-20490
Hello
Being a non programmer and going through the code I have a question I have been developing. with appcelerator. . In the app I have a webview that pulls in a remote dynamic webpage URI. They page has many https:// links in it. I would like to have the user open the default device web browser from a click on a URI hyperlink. Will using the URL schema work in my case. Also any help would be greatly appreciated to get me going into implementation. Thank you
Hi @scottandreas,
I haven't done any Titanium development for the last 2+ years, but I think to break out of the webview, there's an event you can listen to that will fire when the user navigates to a new URL. You'd then be able to open that in the device web browser instead.
