As title. I have a 'Download' button on a custom url screen, pressing the button does nothing when it's in the app. If I navigate to the url in my phone browser it works ok. (It's to download a .apk file). There is a similar problem here, only with phone numbers, but no solution: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=480CDF01CEBCA7E4CF91329&status=&searchInput=hyperlink&sortColumn=FT.dateStampUTC&sortUpDown=DESC¤tPage=1&doViews=1

Are you using version 1.5? Have you tried playing with the document behavior section in advanced properties? There's an option for detecting phone numbers and links, make sure it's turned on. That's all the advice I have, good luck!

Damn, sorry, I forgot... 1.4 Android :-(

Without looking into this further, I would be very VERY suprised if the build-in browser knew what to do with an .apk file. Have not tried this but a hunch. Not knowing how to handle the link isn't a limitation of the buzztouch code, I'm thinking it's a limitation imposed on us by the usefulness of the built in browser offered by the Android platform. Try this... see if it makes any sense. In the Screen_CustomURL.java class file you'll see a bunch of 'checks' or lines of code that look for certain file extensions. Staring at around line 90 of this file you'll see a bunch of places where it looks for certain characters in the URL like .mp3, youtube, .zip etc. In these cases, a flag is being set (useNativeIntent = 1) to tell the software to NOT try to open the link in the built in browser but instead tell Android to try to handle the file in the application it thinks is best. In your case, checking for a .apk file then opening it in the native browser may work? To do this, add a few lines of code like this: //anything with an .apk extension if(url.contains(.apk)){ useNativeIntent = 1; } You could add that after the .mp3 check, on like line 100 or so. That means 'hey android, do what you think is best with this file' and hope it opens the native browser. Give it a try?

Result!!! Thank you, thank you! It works perfectly using the above code. Just out of interest, would this work for stuff like ebooks with .epub .amz etc extensions? I'll be trying it out anyway. All excited now...

Hi, i have the same question than RAVEYD and read your post with lot interest BUT it doesn't work!! Well, i recap what i made, 1- I open my project in eclipse 2- open src => com.V1_4 => Screen_CustomURL.java 3- i put exactly this code after //anything with an .mp3 extention if(url.contains(.mp3)){ useNativeIntent = 1; } //anything with an .apk extension if(url.contains(.apk)){ useNativeIntent = 1; } 4- Then i go to my buzztouch Manage this app's menus & screens 5- I creat custom URL webpage 6- And then i put the adress of my apk in proprieties of custom URL Is it correct??? Because it doesn't work i have exactly the same problem than before!! Thanks sooooooooo much Buzztouch!!!!
