Open url viewer with native app

[EkaitzHernandez]

Hi all!

I would like to know how to open URL viewer with the native app (Android/iOS) of the mobile phone. I have read this http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/11/28/open-the-arcgis-app-from-the-tap-of-a-map/ but is not working.

What I have to do?

Thanks!

Your question would probably be more relevant in the forum for ArcGIS App for Smartphones and Tablets, as this really has nothing to do with the SDK.

At any rate, all you really have to do is exactly what the linked blog states: change "http://" to "arcgis://" in for webmap links on mobile websites, and when an Android or iOS user clicks on the link, assuming that they have the ArcGIS App installed on their phone or tablet, they will be able to open the webmap with the app rather than the mobile web browser. If you want to test this, open up this thread on your phone and click the following link to KY State Parks. Note that the arcgis:// prefix in that URL breaks the link on desktop browsers, but works for tablets if the ArcGIS App is installed.

If you have any follow up questions about the ArcGIS App, I'd encourage you to post it in the forum I mentioned above. Best of luck.

It's very weird because the link that you provided is working, but is the same link that is in http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/11/28/open-the-arcgis-app-from-the-tap-of-a-map/ but in this page instead opening with native is opening with browser.

Why?
