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.

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
