Trying to open Phones built in browser.

NOTE!. The tests below do not work when app is installed on Phone.
However. When using appery tester on phone it works!!

Using Apperys "link". NO browser opens. No errors either. But works in Tester

Using window.location = 'my web addy' NO browser opens. No errors either. But works in Tester

Using window.open('my web addy', '_system'); Browser OPENS!. but puts content to google search. Not the address bar .No errors either.

navigator.app.loadUrl('my web addy', { openExternal:true } ); Browser OPENS!. but puts content to google search. Not the address bar .No errors either.

No errors on logcat

So how do I open external browser?
(NOT CHILDBROWSER. Because It is a download link for app update)
And why does this work in app tested in Appery tester?

Is it a permissions thing?

Thanks

Hi Neil - on which device you are getting this? (brand, model number)

Nevermind. I fixed

Can you share what was the cause - it may be helpful for someone.

Was an internal string error.(In My Code) Web address was missing a "/" was. http:/
Odd that it worked in Appery tester thou. Perhaps Appery does some fixing of its own..
