Hello,
Replace code:
pre
window.open(data.text, '_system', 'location=yes');
/pre
with next one:
prewindow.open('' + data.text +'', '_system', 'location=yes');/pre
You should use quotation marks with "data.text"
Still no luck. Is it possible that it's not working because I'm running the program through the appery android tester app?
It shouldn't, but you could try to export .apk file and test it.
what exactly is data.text? I assumed its purpose is to take whatever text my barcode scanner picks up from a QR code (i.e. a url) and inputs it into window.open().
i.e. so if I scan a QR code that has url: http://www.google.com, data.text will use that scanned url, thereby allowing window.open() to open the link.
perhaps I am missing something in the components section? do I need to route the 'text' in responses to a local storage variable?
You are right, data.text this is text from barcode scanner. Please make sure that data.text enclosed in single quotes instead of double quotes.
