iOS Open a PDF (or picture) in Safari

[Audrey]

Hello,
I can't open my documents in safari anymore ! Before I could, but now I can't, without changing my code :
<a id=\"LienDoc\" class=\"lien\"  href=\"" + Adresse + "\" rel='external' target='_blank'  >

Is this coming from the icenium debug on iPhone or is this something which has change ?

Best regards,
Aud'

Is this possible that the problem came from the icenium way to launch the app ?

Hi Audrey,

Could the problem you've hit and refer to be the one described in this forum thread: Opening external link not working properly with phonegap 2.4?

Yeah it seems being the same one but the proposed solution doesn't work for me

                    window.open(myLink, '_system');

Hi Audrey,

We can't reproduce this in our local tests. Can you create a new project and test only this particular functionality? If the issue only occurs in a specific application, can you post markup that we can use to reproduce the issue?

Kind regards,

Hi,
I already did it but it didn't work anymore..
I tried
<a href="" rel="external" target="_system">
and window.open(myLink, '_system');
But no one worked...

[Audrey]

This part of code works fine :
                  document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    function onDeviceReady() {
         var ref = window.open('http://www.cvc.u-psud.fr/IMG/pdf/Astronomie_AaZ.pdf', '_system', 'location=yes');
    }

BUT when I wanna open the link with an onclick event, it doesn't work anymore...

  <a id="lien" href="">ICI</a>    
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
              document.getElementById("lien").click(function () {
                  document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
              });

   
    function onDeviceReady() {
         var ref = window.open('http://www.cvc.u-psud.fr/IMG/pdf/Astronomie_AaZ.pdf', '_system', 'location=yes');
    }

OR

document.getElementById("lien").click(function () {
         var ref = window.open('http://apache.org', '_system', 'location=yes');
    });

Any idea ??

Hi Audrey,

Try any of the following:

<a id="lien"  href="">Click 1</a><br>
<a id="lien1"  href="">Click 2</a><br>
<a id="lien2" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.apache.org', '_system')"  href="">Click 3</a><br>
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
            document.getElementById("lien").onclick = function() {
                window.open('http://www.apache.org', '_system');
            };

            $("#lien1").click(function() {
                window.open('http://www.apache.org', '_system');
            });
        </script>

hello, yes, thanks  it works fine but not everywhere !!!

Here's my html code generated by javascript using the jQuery function apprendTo :
"<a class=\"plsdocs\" onClick=\"Android('" + Adresse + "');\" >"

And the Android function :
function Android(href) {
                if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)) {
                    navigator.app.loadUrl(href, { openExternal: true });
                } else if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) {
                    window.open(href, '_system');
                } else {
                    window.location = href;
                }
            }

This Android function works fine on the others pages but not here... Any idea ?

Hello Audrey,

The code looks correct, our suggestion is to debug it and verify that:

• the click event is fired
• the argument passed to the function is correct

In general your question is not directly related to Icenium (which is basically the environment you work in) and you can get more thorough feedback about such general questions in community forums like StackOverFlow.

All the best,
