Is there any way to open a remote web page from the app, then go back to the app?
The webpage needs to be pretty much full screen so will obscure the app.
would have thought that webpopup would have a close button, but it doesn’t
and sometime clicking on links within a webpopup takes you to that page, and sometimes the web popup disappears.
if I use openurl, then the iphone or android buttons close the webpage and the app.

So how can I open a webpage from the app, allow the user to do something on the remote site, and then easily return to the app?

Hey
Use this code and try it…
native.showWebPopup( 0, 0, 320, 480,
“http://urltoopen”)

This code will open any given url in fullscreen as a webPopup. You can then put a button up in some corner and put a action to that button saying…

native.cancelWebPopup()

and that should get you working [import]uid: 22737 topic_id: 11821 reply_id: 70792[/import]

A WebPopup is a native object and will cover all other objects behind.
If you open the WebPopup in full screen :
native.showWebPopup( 0, 0, 320, 480,“http://urltoopen”)
your button is behind the WebPopup, or I’m wrong ? [import]uid: 12632 topic_id: 11821 reply_id: 70800[/import]
