Open Links in external App

[Carsten_H_]

Hello,

I try to open links in one app in the system app, weblinks for example in the browser, email-links in the standard mail-app.
This works fine with the standard cordova-build with the followong code:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://some.link/', '_system');">Some Link</a>

Now I build my app with Crosswalk for Android and I have a problem to open these links on Devices with Android Kitkat and Lollipop. On older Android-Versions like 4.3 and belower it seems to work.

I try to use the following code:

<a href="#" onclick="intel.xdk.device.launchExternal('http://some.link/');">Some Link</a>

But it doesn't work. The Device-Plugin (Feautered&Custom Cordova Plugin) is checked.

How can I solve the problem an the link open in the standard-app like chrome e.g..

Greets

There is a problem with the XDK plugins, search this forum for other users having similar issues. The team say they are fixing, but it is causing major problems for me at the moment.

With the new XDK-version 1912 I still have this problem.

EDIT:

I changed the Crosswalk Version back to Crosswalk 7 and now it works correctly.

@Carsten, did you try Crosswalk 12? That version seems to be pretty stable.
