Introduction

Currently, webOS has no direct service request for operating the browser app. Instead, this service relies on the Application Manager service's open method. This page documents the parameters that can be passed to the browser app. A quick example of the usage to open the browser to a link is included below.

In addition to the id required for all Application Manager calls the browser app accepts the destination URL in the 'target' parameter:

Parameter	Type	Description
id	string	Set to "com.palm.app.browser".
params.target	string	Optional. URL of the form "://", where url is a well-formed URI to access a Web location.

Example

this.controller.serviceRequest("palm://com.palm.applicationManager", {
    method: "open",
    parameters:  {
        id: 'com.palm.app.browser',
        params: {
            target: "http://www.example.com"
        }
    }
});
