• There is a very simple and cross-platform solution here: http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/11281/click-button-and-open-hyperlink-in-safari-instead-of-webview#comment-108572

  The code is:

  //create label (or button etc)
  var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({text:'LINK'});
  
  //event listener
  label.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
      //open link in safari - application will close
      Titanium.Platform.openURL('http://www.soft4u.be');
  });
  

• Hi,

  I know it's an old topic, but here is my solution:

  var link = "http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.Label-object";
  var linkE = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
          text: "What about label in titanium?",
          color: "blue",
          font: {
              fontSize: 16,
              fontWeight: 'bold'
          },
          width: 'auto',
          textAlign: 'left',
          bottom: deviceHeight * 2 / 100,
          left: deviceWidth * 4/100,
          height: 'auto',
  });
  
  linkE.addEventListener('click', function(e){
      var intent = Ti.Android.createIntent({
          action: Ti.Android.ACTION_VIEW,
          data:link
      });
      Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(intent);
  });
  
  win.add(linkE);
  

  in fact it works for almost everything (intent can be use to start google map/e-mail/dial/…)

• Unfortunately Surojit, that is precisely what is needed right now :(. We've had other people run into this exact problem, and that is the technique needed - you'll need to specially style labels and add a click handler function to launch the browser.

• This is a method I used….may need some tweeking:

  var createLink = function(labelOptions, callback) {
      var view = Titanium.UI.createView({
          width:'auto',
          height:'auto',
          layout:'vertical'
      });
  
      var label = Titanium.UI.createLabel(labelOptions);
  
      label.addEventListener('click', callback);
  
      var lineView = Titanium.UI.createView({
          width:label.width,
          left:label.left,
          height:1,
          backgroundColor:label.color ? label.color : 'black',
          bottom:0
      });
  
      view.add(label);
      view.add(lineView);
      return view;
  }
  
  var forgotPassword = createLink({
      width:'auto',
      height:20,
      text:'Forgot Password?',
      left:120
  }, function(){Titanium.Platform.openURL('http://someurl.com/forgotpassword')});
  

• for android …
  From below code set html property of label see in double quote

  var lblLink = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
  font : {
  fontSize : 20,
  fontStyle : 'bold',
  },
  top : 10,
  color : '#0000EE',
  left : 10,
  height : 30,
  width : 150,

  });
