phonegap - open link in browser

Question

I use phonegap (cordova 2.2)

I have link like this :

twitter

Answer 1

I use this as a general rule:

$('a').live('tap',function(e){
    // if external link then open a browser
    if(String($(this).attr('href')).substring(0,4)=='http' || String($(this).attr('href')).substring(0,5)=='https'){
        navigator.app.loadUrl($(this).attr('href'), { openExternal:true });
        e.stopPropagation();
        return false;
    }
});

Answer 2

Navigator for phonegap works!

handler: function (btn, evt) {
loadURL('http://www.google.com');
}

...

function loadURL(url){
navigator.app.loadUrl(url, { openExternal:true });
return false;
} 

Answer 3

Try this for android:

function loadURL(url){
    navigator.app.loadUrl(url, { openExternal:true });
    return false;
} 

Html:

<a click="loadURL('http://twitter.com/foobar')">twitter</a>

You can also try this in your config.xml:

<access origin="*twitter.com" browserOnly="true"/>
