hi all,

thanks in advance. i was trying to use the native.showWebPopup, but seems it only support access system.ResourceDirectory. I can’t like download a HTML and open it via the WebPopup which save the file in system.DocumentsDirectory.

The code i used:
local options = { baseUrl=system.DocumentsDirectory, urlRequest=webListener }
native.showWebPopup(x, y, 320, 180, “index.html”, options )

many thanks

I think this is a bug in the latest release, where you can load remote content fine but local content doesn’t show. I know it’s been squashed though, and everything will be working fine in the next release (as far as web popups go). Hopefully the new release will be out soon.

Was this problem resolved?

I unsuccessfully tried to display local files. I don’t know if it was my code or if it’s a problem with Corona.

I tried doing some tests this morning, but now I’m getting 500 Internal Server Errors while building my app.

Heh, I’m not off to a strong start with the WebPopup.

UPDATE - It looks like the Corona server had some trouble this morning. I was able to test the WebPopup. I was able to load web pages, but not local web content.

Maybe this bug is still unresolved. [import]uid: 13264 topic_id: 4079 reply_id: 24917[/import]
