Question

Links not working as they should on Mobile Apps

I'm a little stuck at the moment.

I started by importing a word document into Robohelp and did some additional formatting from there such as separating parts of the document into different pages and then re-linking the broken links etc.

Splitting up topics into different pages reduced load times on the Tablet I'm using to test it; however, Moible App output is still the only one that I can't use links properly on.

When I do tests in Webhelp or HTML5 and I click a link in the Table of Contents it goes straight to the page that content is on but also to the part of the content I clicked. On Mobile App however, I click a link and it'll go to the page that content is on but always just goes to the top of the page that content is on, even if the link I clicked should be going to the bottom of the page because thats where that specific content is.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

If your page content is small enough to be rendered without scrolls then page will be shown from top.

If that is not the case then can you tell us for which platform you are building the App and which device you are testing with ?

Is this issue reproducible for all TOC links and hyperlinks from within your pages ?

No the page content is not small enough to all fit on the screen at the same time.

I'm using PhoneGap and Robohelp 2015 Mobile App output to put the apk files on a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Yes this issue is reproducible with all ToC Links and image map links etc.

Hmmm, sounds to me as if there is an issue with an app linking to a bookmark?
