Open external window on android (window.open)

[HorstPotter]

Hello,

how do I enable 'setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically' for Android views?

I have to open external webpages with javascript in a NEW (browser-)window.

Window open does not work:

window.open(str_newUrl, "_blank");

Workaround does not work either:

var link = document.createElement('a');
link.setAttribute('href', href);
link.setAttribute('target','_blank');
var clickevent = document.createEvent('Event');
clickevent.initEvent('click', true, false);
link.dispatchEvent(clickevent);
return false;

On iOS both versions are opening external webpages in a new browser-window.

Any hints or tips for this topic?

Best regards.

Hi

You can do it from ruby with

System.open_url(url)

It will open the url in default browser window.

On android opening new webview windows is disabled.
