This post is mainly for information and to say the issue has been logged with Blackboard Mobile Support (2nd Sept 2013). Their Android engineers are working on the problem.
Prior to the release of version 4.0 of the Blackboard Learn Mobile app we were able to open index.htm files via the mobile app. It used to prompt for opening the file in a browser. Now we get "unable to view this file type" with no option to view in a browser.The content is a Xerte learning object that launches from the index.htm file. Adding htm files within a learning module gets the same message. When we tested this on iOS it opens a new window no problem. Files embedded into the content area using htm with css open normally and can be viewed on Android devices.
Institution Blackboard Server
Bb Learn 9.1 SP11 (9.1.110082.0)
Mobile Building Block version
91.4.1
Would be interesting to know if other institutions are experiencing the same problem.
thanks,
Alison
