WECHAT Intent.action.VIEW

[Erwin Pangit]

Hi,

May I request a little info why android.intent.action.VIEW intent does not work on wechat browser? is there any way I can make this work of similar functionality?

I am trying this implement intent to work on wechat browser.

<a id="3" href="intent://myURL.com#Intent;scheme=http;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end;"> test intent view open</a>
and
<a id="1" href="intent://myURL.com#Intent;scheme=http;package=com.android.chrome;end">Test intent</a>

this works fine on browsers like safari or firefox to load chrome but does not work from wechat browser.

thanks,

erwin

Are you sure you are posting in the right group?

If this question relates to DroidScript, it would be a help if you explain how.

Hi Steve,

I came across this post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/androidscript/wechat$20intent%7Csort:relevance/androidscript/rsYbYgf2O8g/tK96LU1fBAAJ in this group.

I tried this approach and works using this script

<a  href="intent://mysite.com/#Intent;scheme=http;package=com.android.chrome;end">Test intent Crhome</a>

this opens a chrome when clicked from firefox and safari or any browser. Now, I tried opening the page from wechat browser but it didn't work. My main goal is to create a script, open in wechat browser and launch other browser like chrome or any installed browser.

The link you posted does not work but I guess you were trying to point to https://groups.google.com/d/msg/androidscript/rsYbYgf2O8g/tK96LU1fBAAJ

The question was specific to opening a link in DroidScript.

This is not a good group to ask for advice on using WeChat as it is not our area of expertise.

The whole focus of this group is DroidScript. I am sure you can find another forum that will be more helpful.
