WebIntent bug

[todamach]

I'm trying to open .apk using webintent plugin on Ionic2 typescript project. I'm using Ionic native.

official webintent docs shows this example:

    window.plugins.webintent.startActivity({
      action: window.plugins.webintent.ACTION_VIEW,
      url: theFile.toURL(),
      type: 'application/vnd.android.package-archive'
    },
    function() {},
    function() {
      alert('Failed to open URL via Android Intent.');
      console.log("Failed to open URL via Android Intent. URL: " + theFile.fullPath)
    }
    );

options takes 3 parameters: action, url and type.

When I try to use it in project it only accepts two: action and url.

      WebIntent.startActivity({
      action: WebIntent.ACTION_VIEW,
      url: this.uri,
    }).then(() => {
      alert("Success. URL: " + this.uri);
    },
    () => {
      alert("Failed to open URL via Android Intent. URL: " + this.uri);
      console.log("Failed to open URL via Android Intent. URL: " + this.uri)
    });

If i use it like that it tries to open apk as pdf file and fails. If i add 3rd parameter it says, that it only accepts two parameters (basically).

If I go to node_modules/ionic-native/dist/plugins/webintend.d.ts and change

    static startActivity(options: {
        action: any;
        url: string;
    }):

to

    static startActivity(options: {
        action: any;
        url: string;
        type: string;
    }):

it successfully opens the .apk and tries to install it.

I'm new to ionic, so I might be missing something, but maybe it might help someone else, since I googled, but didn't find any ionic2 "open .apk file" examples.

Thanks @todamach, just added type as an optional param to the master branch
