Web and WebWorks Development

Hey guys

I've done this for playbook before but I guess it changed with bb10:
How do I open a link in the browser?
So from the webworks app, click on a link and some JavaScript then opens a link in the browser.

Please let me know
Thank you :-)

You can use window.open("www.blackberry.com", "_blank"); to open the link in a card above your app or you can open the browser in a new window with the invoke framework:

function openWebLink() {
    // open web link - allows the system to choose an appropriate target that handles http://
    blackberry.invoke.invoke({
        uri: "http://www.blackberry.com"
    }, onInvokeSuccess, onInvokeError);
}

function openWebLinkInBrowser() {
    // open web link in browser
    blackberry.invoke.invoke({
        target: "sys.browser",
        uri: "http://www.blackberry.com"
    }, onInvokeSuccess, onInvokeError);
}

Hello,  you can do it this way as well.

https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/blackberry.invoke.html#.invoke

function openWebLinkInBrowser() {

    // open web link in browser

    blackberry.invoke.invoke({

        target: "sys.browser",

        uri: "http://www.blackberry.com"

    }, onInvokeSuccess, onInvokeError);

}

Thank you. Something's still missing. It does not open the page and does not show an error message.

Dev Alpha A is updated and the SDK as well.

Here's my javascript:

function test()
{
blackberry.invoke.invoke({
target: "sys.browser",
uri:"http://www.google.com"
}, onInvokeSuccess, onInvokeError);
}

function onInvokeSuccess() {
alert("Invocation successful!");
}

function onInvokeError(error) {
alert("Invocation failed, error: " + error);
}


And here's my Config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets"
version="1.0.0.0" id="com.xxxxx.xxxx">

<author rim:copyright="2012" email="xxxx@googlemail.com">xxxxxx</author>
<icon rim:hover="false" src="icon.jpg"/>
<icon rim:hover="true" src="icon.jpg"/>
<rim:splash src="launch.jpg"/>
<feature id="blackberry.app.orientation">
<param name="mode" value="portrait" />
</feature>
<feature id="blackberry.invoke" />
</widget>

Anybody who know's what's wrong?

Can you try installing this Invoker sample app from our GitHub repo?
