Open a Link in browser through Mobile Application

Hi,


I am trying to Open a link of my another web application through my mobile Application, 

I was performing this using Outsystems redirect URL action, 

Also i have tried using In App Browser (Forge Component) this also has some dependency issues

Another tried with javascript - window.open('url'.'_system') this works but opens the web application in mobile app mode


Kindly help by putting your thoughts


Regards,

Hi @Rujul Sonawane ,

If you are not able to solve the dependency issues in the InAppBrowser Plugin, try to use it after reinstalling from the forge after uninstalling. 
Thanks

Hello Rujul,

Hope you're doing well.

For your use case, I think the best option would be indeed the InAppBrowser Plugin.

What do you mean by "dependency issues"?

Kind regards,

Rui Barradas

Can you please share the Outsystems Mobile runtime version and is it Android/iOS?

Hello, 

Step 1: Install the  InAppBrowser Plugin

  1. Go to OutSystems Forge: InAppBrowser Plugin

  2. Click Install → Choose your environment → Wait for it to complete.

  3. Make sure your app’s Cordova version matches the plugin requirements (usually the latest version works fine).

⚠️ If you already had an older version of InAppBrowser installed, remove it first to avoid conflicts.

Step 2: Use the Plugin in Your Mobile App

  1. Go to the screen or button action where you want to open the web app.

  2. Drag the InAppBrowser.Open action from Logic → Client Actions → Plugins.

Properties to set:

Try using the InAppBrowser plugin via a custom Cordova plugin instead of the Forge component for better compatibility.

Alternatively, use window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes') to open the web app in the device’s default browser.
