Simple html href not working on Android???

[Chris]

Hello everyone. I'm new to phonegap and looking forward to this group.
I can really use your help!

I can't get a simple <a href='file2.html'>Link</a> link to work on
phonegap for Android. I tried multiple simulators, all kinds of
variations on the link. I know phonegap is working, I followed the
steps from the website and when I add a simple href tag to the Hello
World page they provide as an example, it just goes nowhere! I have
file2.html in the same "www" directory as the index file.

I installed eclipse on Mac and PC with the same results. Using
phonegap for iPhone worked just fine.

Here are some examples I've tried. I did about 20 searches on the
subject and just couldn't find an answer.

<a href="file2.html">test 1</a>
<a href="file2.html">test 2</a>
<a href="assets/www/file2.html">test 3</a>
<a href="android_assets/www/file2.html">test 4</a>
<a href="file:///assets/www/file2.html">test 5</a>

Again, nothing has worked.. the link just sits there.. any help would
be greatly appreciated!!!

What vêrsion of phonegap did you try?
Try the new version 1.0.

[Chris]

It is 1.0, I just downloaded it yesterday. In fact, all of the android
software they tell you to install was installed fresh, for the first
time, yesterday on my PC. When I couldn’t get the links to work, I
repeated the same instructions and downloaded the software for my Mac.
Same results! On both machines, the Hello World code they provide
works just fine. JavaScript works. A simple href link to another local
file, within the same directory of the index file, doesn’t work.

[Chris]

To follow up, using the emulator, when I click on the link, it is
wrapped in an orange circle. I’ve basically tried every combination of
link syntax and file paths. And as mentioned above, I also tried PC
and Mac.

Is anyone using multiple HTML pages so I at least know it’s possible?
I know JQ and div tags are preferred, but links worked perfectly on
iOS with phonegap and I’m having no luck. Thanks.

I'm having the same issue with simple href links not working. For info
I am using phonegap 1.0.0 (just downloaded this morning) and am
running on emulator with Android 2.3.3.

Cheers,
Alex

I'm surprised this isn't working. Can you check to make sure you have
the following tag inside your application tag in your
AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name="com.phonegap.DroidGap"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
<intent-filter>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

[Simon MacDonald]

Great, glad to help. I'm going to have to pull together a quick post
on how to upgrade your Android app from the 0.9.X to 1.0.0 release of
PhoneGap.

Any solution for users of the phonegap build service? I have the same
problem with local links but the android manifest is built
automatically by the build service.

[Simon MacDonald]

Report a problem on the PhoneGap Build support area:

[Greg]

No official solution from phonegap build service.

You can merge the html files into the index.html file and use
javascript to hide and show the pages as needed.

if I merge all that many of my html files into a single html, my app
will so long when loading and make lag

I try to change a href become javascript navigation
<b>&lt;span onClick=&quot;window.location =
'about.html'&quot;&gt;about us&lt;/span&gt;</b>

But it doesn't works too :(

Hi,

Just checked the code of Phonegap from trunk (as on 1 sep 2011) , in
case of local links starting file:///, Phonegap starts the activity
with url in extras [ If you are looking at Phonegap code, please refer
showWebPage function of DroidGap.java] .

Since most of the times, code to load the default url (using
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");) is in onCreate
method of activity, the original URL is again reloaded in the
webview.

To avoid this issue, you may want to load the default url only in case
there is no extra value in "url" key present in the intent. Here's
the snippet that might be useful to you to handle this bug.

You need to place this code inside the onCreate Method of the your
activity.

Bundle bundle = this.getIntent().getExtras();
boolean skipLoadURL = false;

if (bundle != null) {

String url = bundle.getString("url");

if (url != null) {
skipLoadURL=true;
}
}

if(!skipLoadURL)
{
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}

I checked with a small POC at my end and this seems to be working fine
now with above change.

In case, it does not work at your end, please do let me know and I can
investigate on it further.

Regards,
Satin

Links to files that you place in your source - i.e. assets/www folder - must have a rel attribute:
