Been there, seen that...

shift or Objective-C examples are not much of help...

best so far i got this:

browser execute javascript | "window.open('https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=pizza', '_self', 'fullscreen=no');"

but i get map in browser and not an actual app

iw seen this on stack:

window.open("geo:0,0?q=pizza" , '_system');

but its not working... (or atleest i cant make it work)

Browser -> Go to URL "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=pizza"

This works on my Android phone.

According to the documentation:

[quote:zcw34zck]On an Android device:
If Google Maps app for Android is installed and active, the URL launches Google Maps in the Maps app and performs the requested action.

If the Google Maps app is not installed or is disabled, the URL launches Google Maps in a browser and performs the requested action.

On an iOS device:

If Google Maps app for iOS is installed, the URL launches Google Maps in the Maps app and performs the requested action.

If the Google Maps app is not installed, the URL launches Google Maps in a browser and performs the requested action.

hello... still having problems with this...

All works fine while testing on PC or on mobile in browser...

...but when i create apk in cocoon it wont launch external aplication.

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

Solved:

config.xml whitelist needed these entrys:

<access origin="*"/>

<allow-intent href="http://*/*"/>

<allow-intent href="https://*/*"/>

<allow-intent href="geo:*"/>
