How to open a link in a browser?

Wojciech Rygielski shared this problem 9 years ago
Solved

I am a geocache owner. In my cache listing, there's a link to an external website - there is a "<a href='http://somesite.example.com/'>link</a>" in my GPX file. The users are required to visit this website in order to solve a simple quiz. The website works perfectly well in all mobile browsers, but it doesn't work in Locus.


How can I force the link to be opened in a full-featured browser? I have tried adding target=>'_blank', but it doesn't solve the issue... The link is still loaded within the "listing" tab inside Locus, how to prevent that?

Hello Wojciech,


solution with "_blank" parameter seems ideal for me. If this is currently not working (most probable), please update your cache listing, give ne GC Code of your cache and I'll try to look at it to next Locus version.

Thanks! Currently it's not on GC (the majority of cachers in Poland use a different site), but I think that this GPX file will suffice as an example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2442880/opencaching1415092524590393.gpx

Hmm such easy task on first sight, was quite complicated as Android do

not allow to check if url has any extra "target" parameter. Nevermind.

Done and it will work as expected in next version.
