Hello, i'm new to Firefox OS and have ported my first app. The last problem, which is left, is how to show a pdf. The app talks to a server and gets a URL of a ready rendered PDF. I have tried to show it with a window.open([URL]) or a simple <a href="[URL]">PDF</a>
With the Firefox OS Simulator i have problems to test the app. When i use an alert or a confirm, the buttons are not clickable and i have to close the app. So i'm testing with a Geeksphone Peak. When i use a simple PDF both ways are working. With the open i have a white window, but when i close this, the PDF is shown inside the app in a kind of popup window. With the <a href..> it opens in the browser which redirects to the pdf viewer. But with the real PDF this don't work. I have tried to type the url direkt in the Browser, but i get also only a white screen. When i do this in the simulator i get the Firefox popup asking for opening or save. So i'm not sure, is this a problem of the Peak? Or an error in my app? Has anyone a best practice for opening a PDF inside an app? best regards Horst _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
