Windows app 'Navigate to Link' not working

Hi,

I've ported across some of my android apps to windows and found that none of the external links work on windows, but they work fine on mobile preview and android builds.

Ive tried:

Appery.io action: ' Navigate to Link' (with both open new window and not)

run javascript: window.open('[url=http://www.google.co.uk','system]http://www.google.co.uk','system[/url]');

none of these seem to work

thank you for any help

Dave

Windows app 'Navigate to Link' not working

Hello David,

Could you check are there any errors in console? This (https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...) should help.

Windows app 'Navigate to Link' not working

Hi Sergiy,

I tried the error console. With Apperyio test browser and android everything runs fine. But with windows as soon as i press the button for the link the error console loses connection to the app.

This has happened on 2 of my apps, I even buil a simple app to test it and the same thing happens

thanks for your help

Dave

Please check second parameter "blank" instead of "system"

Windows app 'Navigate to Link' not working

Could you tell us what wersion of the Windows Phone do you use? Do you generate app with Appery.io or with Visual Studio?

Did you check open link with "location parameter"?
window.open(link, 'system', 'location=no');
window.open(link, "system", 'location=yes');

Hi Sergiy,

adding the location parameter seems to have done the trick and the links now work

Thank you
