I have a WEB app that work fine in Debug but does not in Release
I am using jAWRRobot to launch a URL where the variable ndz is any URL I am using.

rbt.SystemOpenAddressInBrowser(ndz)

Work great in Debug but I can't get it to work in Release mode.

Or, is the a better way to launch a URL? Thanks for any help.

If it's a nonUI app the the fx.ShowExternalDocument is unlikely to work as it requires JavaFX.

Try this:



B4X: 
ShowURI("http://google.com") 'Call


Public Sub ShowURI(Address As String)
    Dim Desktop As JavaObject
    Desktop.InitializeStatic("java.awt.Desktop")
    Desktop = Desktop.RunMethod("getDesktop",Null)
    Dim URI As JavaObject
    URI.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.URI",Array(Address))
    Desktop.RunMethod("browse",Array(URI))
End Sub

Tested on Windows, they are standard java classes so should work on Mac.

Then I would think there is something else going wrong within your app. Are there any messages in the log? Can you post an example project where it fails?

Apparently so. Running Debug presents no errors. I don't know how to trace the errors in Runtime.
I added the code to the Sub Class_Globals and on the Sub sendclicked_click(params As Map) I added ShowURI(ndz) where ndz is the URL.
JavaObject is in my Labrary. Any other resource needed? I will keep all posted.

I'm not sure I understand what you have done, Sub Class_Globals should only contain variable definitions. It would be much easier to help if you could post some example code.

Attach is one of the Modules. When extracted it is in ODF format and all the color is overwhelming but the areas of code are highlighted in Yellow. Is there a better way to display the code?

I found the problem but not the fix.

In Debug it is using the correct link but in Release it is using the WRONG link!

If you run grok3.com use the Login Grok and PWD as 12. Select Grok, BlgID: 43 and the next screen there will be a button called Goo Docs - Click it.
A listbox will appear at the botton with the link: (which is correct)

Grok Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r-2-Vc532noWtP8L4hNL8tv2FEY5dqnZ02Y27nBsotU/edit?usp=sharing

BUT when right click the link and copy the link you get:

*http://grok3.com/indexblg.html?blgid=43&blgname=Grok, Blg #

How is the link created?

The link is created by referencing a MySql table that has a field called Label and Link. When the record is saved the label is User Input and the Link is Pasted from google docs. A ListBox query is then run to populate the ListBox which concentrates the Label along with the Link (LabeNamel http Link). The Sub SendClicked_Click then extracts only the Link which I use the variable ndz (no particular reason). Then ShowURI(ndz) executes the Public Sub ShowURI(Address As String) as below

Public Sub ShowURI(Address As String)
Dim Desktop As JavaObject
Desktop.InitializeStatic("java.awt.Desktop")
Desktop = Desktop.RunMethod("getDesktop",Null)
Dim URI As JavaObject
URI.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.URI",Array(Address))
Desktop.RunMethod("browse",Array(URI))
End Sub

It looks to me as if the link on the page is not created properly. Although the link is displayed correctly I would guess that the href for the link points to the wrong address. It is not visible in the source code of the page.

I think I am making way too complicated. All I want to do start a new tab with the selected URL.

Something like this should work bldgp.sethtml("<a href=" & "'" & ndz & "'" & " Target = "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>") but I can't get syntax right.

I there any to keep it simple?

Use smartstrings, you don't have to worry about which quote you use.

something like
B4X: 
 bldgp.sethtml($"<a href="${ndz}" Target = "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">${LinkName}</a>"$)

I've never worked with webapps, so don't know what options are available. If it works, that's great.

Solved
Original Query
retHtml = retHtml & "<li ><a href='#' class='blacktext nolist listboxitems' onclick=""copyClick('GooID=" & thing.Get("ID2") & "Label=" & thing.Get("Label") & "Link=" & thing.Get("Link") & "')"" >" & thing.Get("Label") & " Link: " & thing.get("Link") & "</a></li>"
Solution:
retHtml = retHtml & "<li ><a href='" & thing.get("Link") & "' class='blacktext nolist listboxitems' target='_blank' >" & thing.Get("Label") & " Link: " & thing.get("Link") & "</a></li>"
The solution does NOT use the ClickEvent - Just click the displayed line in the listbox
