Hi, I think this has to do with some security route settings on the newer builds of android, they now restrict some of these things.
But you can do something like below with showUrl, use the '_system' parameter to get it to show up.
application.showURL('tel:12345678', '_system')
application.showURL('mailto:
[email protected]', '_system')
Alternatively, in the newer phonegap version (v1.1.9) - with the browser plugin you can also do the following:
plugins.svyphonegapBrowser.openHrefTag('tel:12345678');
plugins.svyphonegapBrowser.openHrefTag('mailto:
[email protected]');
Hope that helps!
