Raising an intent / opening a pdf or epub in an external viewer in rhodes (rhomobile)

Hi is it possible to open a file in an external program from within rhodes? Open / Viewing a pdf or epub?

Thanks a lot!

Solution

  • Yes it is.

    Use System.open_url : you can provide any url with any schema(http, file etc), depending of platform will be run associated application to handle this url

    System.open_url('http://www.rhomobile.com')

    It is also explained here in the Rhodes Documentation and you can find a code sample of how to do it here.
