Re: Open url in new mobile safari instance?: Window.open()

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the sample - it loads the target in the UIWebView. I tried using a target of "_blank" as well, same result. I might have to just catch external urls in the native app and launch safari manually,

Thank you

This works on iOS Fullscreen web applications. I think it may also work on a UIWebView

public void open(String url) {

Anchor a = new Anchor();

a.setTarget("_new");

a.setHref(url);

RootPanel.get().add(a);

NativeEvent e = Document.get().createHtmlEvent("click", true, true);

a.getElement().dispatchEvent(e);

RootPanel.get().remove(a);

}

Hi,

I have a Button, when clicked, I'd like to open a url in a new browser instance. The following works on desktop:

    Window.open(url, "_blank", null);

When I run the same code in a UIWebView on ios, nothing happens. Ideally I'd like to open a new instance of mobile safari directed to that url. Does anyone have any ideas of how to do this? I can fall back on catching the url in my objective-c code, but ideally there's something we could do directly in javascript to trigger mobile safari to open,

Thanks
