Launch default webbrowser on clicking hyperlink

[Ivan Codescratch]

Hallo,

 i'm trying to launch Hyperlinks to default browser on Android and iOS.

Does any one have a workaround. Unfortuneately this don't work but on the JavaFX desktop version would.

Hyperlink hyperlink= new Hyperlink("http://www.stackoverflow.com");
hyperlink.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

    @Override
    public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
        getHostServices().showDocument(hyperlink.getText());
    }
});

Thank in advance.

Best regards,

Ivan

You can have a look at Gluon Charm Down library, an open source module for accessing seamlessly the low level platform APIs.

The current version is 0.0.2-SNAPSHOT, so you need to include the maven url on your build.gradle file, along with the different dependencies:

repositories {

    jcenter()

    maven {

        url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'

    }

}

dependencies {

    compile "com.gluonhq:charm-down-common:0.0.2-SNAPSHOT"

    desktopRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-desktop:0.0.2-SNAPSHOT"

    androidRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-android:0.0.2-SNAPSHOT"

    iosRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-ios:0.0.2-SNAPSHOT"

}

Now on your project, you can use launchExternalBrowser(String url). It will work on desktop, iOS and Android. 

If you are interested in how this is implemented, have a look at the source code here.
