HTML (links, etc.) in Map Activitiy

abiffmaster

I was wondering if its possible to put HTML links, etc. into the map Activity Location Details?

I would like to allow users to click on a website for link for the location and or possible a phone number and email address and have it launch the appropriate action (i.e. call the number in the link)

Thanks

Put http:// in your address and see if that helps.

I use Tel No's like this:  <a href="#">0044 1922 23 24 25 26</a>.

When used on a phone, it automatically brings up the dialler.

None of those ideas although good ones... Don't work from the map activity location details.  Anyone have any other ideas?

Ask Shane G he seems to have a solution.

@pixelpower If I understand him correctly I don't think I have a solution for him unfortunately. From what I understand of what he has said he wants a link inside of the map activity. That is different from a straight html solution. Thanks for the link to my topic though.

I guess it might help if I look at the map activity (I have never used it) and see if there is anything I can do.

As shaney_g suggested, your example should work if you add "http://" to your web address reference, as it did in my test.

I got the http://  to make the website link work as well.

I am still having problems with getting the telephone link to work.  Any clues would be appreciated.

No I wasn't able to get a telephone link working in that context.
