I'm deploying to a tablet running Android 6.0.1. I've tried this in LC 8.1.2 and 9.0 DP4.
I have associated .jpg files with the device's (photo) Gallery app
When I use the command
Code: Select all
launch url "file:/sdcard/DCIM/My friends/family.JPG"
the photo appears but still within my requesting LiveCode app. The screen on which the photo appears displays the photo with only one control, an arrow. No other controls or menus can be shown as would be expected in the Gallery app. Clicking the arrow takes me back to the screen in myLiveCode app containing the button I used for the launch URL command.
The LiveCode dictionary entry for launch URL says
Important: Mobile: Successfully launching a url will cause another application to open and the requesting application to be quit.
Wondered if anyone can explain or has seen the same behaviour?
Thank you!
