This link uses the geolocation feature to pull up the location. This geolocation call doesn't work on Android (works on iOS) and the user nevers get prompted to share the location. From reading through some of the forum topics - - navigator.geolocation doesn't work in the webviewClient that BT_Screen_CustomURL uses. - David mentioned about changing webviewclient to ChromeClient from BT 1.5 onwards but I don't see this change has happened in the code. Any ideas how to do this so that the geolocation prompts the use to allow for location sharing? Title Comments Guys, I have an android app that calls a customURL link.
