Good day again Corona pros, As We’ve developed in making our app work in using system.openurl() to set chrome as our default browser in our app. We now encountered a problem and we haven’t found a way on how to migrate or retrieve the data and put it in our app that uses google maps to make a specific pin. thanks in advance. if you have a problem in understanding my question, feel free to ask one question at a time. 
Good day.
Would you be able to rephrase your question ? As I do not understand what you want to accomplish.
Hi and thanks for the reply. So sorry for the vague question. I will start by asking one question. I have a simple web application that display files from a database. Now , the question is that, can i pass the data from the database to my corona android app? thanks in advance for the reply.
Do you mean query information from a database on a web server ? or access a Sqlite database file part of you app ?
Corona SDK works well with web based apps, in particular if they are REST based. But if you can make an HTTP GET call to get the data:
http://yoursite.com/somescript.php?somevar=someval&someothervar=someotherval
type request, the output will be captured in the callback function for our network.request() API. See: http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/network/request.html
Now if you can control that script’s output to have it out JSON you’re golden because you can use our json library to convert it directly to a Lua table. If it’s XML output you would need to find an XML parser (we have one in a blog post somewhere) as well as our Business Sample App, part of the RSS handler: https://github.com/coronalabs/business-app-sample)
If it’s in some other format, you would have to use the string library to parse it yourself.

yes to query the data from a mysql from a web app to a corona sdk app without using sql lite. , like posting some point in google map by inputting the longlat of a specific location. i hope i’m not confusing you sir. thanks for the reply.
