Android redirect does not work

Question

I need to redirect in a javascript file to a given URI specified by the user.

So a quick example how I do this:

function redirect(uri) {
  if(navigat         


        

Answer 1

You can use match and replace in iOS but apparently not in Android. In my experience this is what works for redirects in Android:

<script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[
    if ( (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Android') != -1) ) {
        document.location = "http://www.your URL/your HTML file.html";
    } // ]]>
</script>

Answer 2

You can just use: window.location = "http://example.com";

Answer 3

I would suggest :

location.assign('someUrl');

It's a better solution as it keeps history of the original document, so you can navigate to the previous webpage using back-button or history.back() as explained here.

Answer 4

Android supports document.location without the href property

Try to use:

function redirect(uri) {
  if(navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)) 
    document.location=uri;      
  else
    window.location.replace(uri);
}

Answer 5

I think it should be window.location.href, not document.location.href.
