navigate to collection brows page

Hi. Is there a working url I can use that will navigate to a collection? Not necessarily the home collection, but the browse page of to the collection a user is already in. I want to add a button on an article page that will bring the user back to the browse page that article is housed in. Of course if I tap the page, the chrome drops down to display the back button, though management wants a button displayed on the page so the user doesn't have to tap to see the chrome to go back.

Thanks!

Jeff

    Currently, there is no way to navigate from to collections. However, if the collection is at the same level and within the same collection as the article from which you want to link to it, you should be able to use a navto URL with the collection name. Likewise, as you may already know, on iOS, you can navto the Home collection w/ goto://ApplicationViewState/library. I am not aware of an equivalent command for Android, but I need one!

    Thank you for this piece of info. I have visited your original post and tried to utilize this goto://ApplicationViewState/library in my URL button, though my app crashes each time I tap on it. As far as the navto:// goes, I added that to the url and the name of my article (navto://Mod5) and when I tapped on it I get a dialog that tells me Content Not Found. If it worked would goto://ApplicationViewState/library take the user to the first collection in the app or the current collection browse page they tapped the button in?

    Thoughts?

    I am using a preview app, though I figure that shouldn't make a difference.

    Android will support those goto:// links in our next release, I think this coming Monday.
