I have a lite version of a game that will display an advert to download the full version.

Is openUrl the correct way to open a link to the the playstore or is something else better?

#2

ok, so I have just read the openUrl api and it isnt what I want:

NOTE: Executing this function will close the app and switch to the built-in browser, email, or phone app

I dont want to close the app, I just need to display the message for say 5 seconds, the user then either taps the message and its directed to the playstore or waits and the message is closed and game continues.

Haha, all sorted, a delve into the networking apis and I have to simply use

native.showPopup(options)

simple well worked api, good work
