Childbrowser fail on Android

[John]

in my index.html I have:

<a data-role= "button" href="#"  data-inline="true" data-mini="true"  onclick="myShowWebPage('http://www.yoursmartphoneapp.biz');">test</a>

and in my main.js I have :

function myShowWebPage(url){
    alert (url);
     window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage(url, { showLocationBar: true },
                                                { showAddress : true },
                                                { showNavigationBar : true });
}


On IOS device, works, perfectly. On Android, the alert is shown but not the web page.

The icenium sample childbrowser app does work fine, but seems awful complicated (dynamically adding click events etc) and I can't see where my code differs in the essence of calling the childbrowser showWebPage function.

Hello John,

 Could you please run Graphite, connect your device, open the log tab for your phone in the Output pane and look for any errors in the log when you try to call the showWebPage function?

Hello Yagor

Nothing in the log.

I did create a new jquery based project and used the above code in it and it worked fine on both Android and IOS devices, so the problem must lie somewhere in my project.

As it happens I found that  window.open(url, "_blank", "location=yes") works perfectly on both so I will use that instead.
