I'm testing laztoapk and wanted to open a URL
Code: [Select]OpenURL('http://web-site.com')But when I run that on the
Android simulator (AVD) it seems to be replacing (URL encoding) the
two slashes with %2F instead (and ending up doing a google search with
my URL). I've tried escaping the slashes in various ways without
success and leaving out the "http://" part results in it doing
nothing. Is Lazarus doing anything or where is the problem? I am
having trouble following the code because it goes through a
OpenURLWidgetsetImplementation variable and I got lost.

If you use LCL custom drawn for android, the implementation is in
lcl/interfaces/customdrawn/customdrawnobject_android.inc. Just see
what it does and why your URL doesn't work.

thanks for that...

TCDWidgetSet.DoOpenURLWidgetsetImplementation just splits the URL in
to the "protocol" section and the rest and then passes those strings
on to Lava (by the looks of things). When I run it in the emulator it
seems to turn that straight in to a google search query, rather than
opening the actual URL. So I don't know where the problem is and I
don't think I can work it out so I'll just never put a clickable link
into an Android app if I ever write a proper one.
