Link to iTunes song preview possible?

[lobsterapps]

I am working on an app that provides the user a list of top song selections for a particular category and would like to provide a direct link for the user to open a preview in iTunes for iOS or a preview in Amazon for Android.

Two example urls I know work outside of Corona are:

— Itunes prefix

[http://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?term=append search title]

– Amazon prefix

[http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=append seatch title]

But cannot seem to make this work using native.showWebPopup( targeturl )

Does anyone know of way I might be able to link to iTunes to open to a search or play a song preview?

I solved this with a system.url() call.

[lua]

– Hande row touch events

local function onMusicRowTouch( event )

    local phase = event.phase

    local row = event.target

    

    if “press” == phase then

    – wait for release

    elseif “release” == phase then

        local targeturl = platformurl…musicTable[row.id].title

        print(“Target search:”…musicTable[row.id].title)

        system.openURL( targeturl )

    end

    

end    

[/lua]

Works like a charm!
