R170 - Twitter button issues on Crosswalk Build

Problem Description

A couple issues, the first was with R169, after pressing the Twitter button on an Android device it would open Twitter in Full Screen and you can not go back or close without ending the task. Maybe the 'Open In New Window fix' (introduced in R169) could be applied in this case for Twitter?

I wanted to test the above issue with R170 build but now the Twitter button is not displaying on Android OS Crosswalk build at all.

Apologies if this is not a bug!

Attach a Capx

Just a blank empty capx project with twitter plugin added.

The button appears for me in the Crosswalk player app in preview-over-wifi, but pressing the button navigates to Twitter inside the app itself, replacing the game. That's not very helpful. I've tried hacking it to open a window the same way the Browser object does, but the Twitter API does something different that I can't figure out.

I think the easiest thing to do is just make your own ordinary button and use the Browser object's 'Open URL' action to open your feed's page on Twitter so the user can do whatever they want from there.

Thanks Ashley.

I've used these two tutorials to overcome this for Twitter and Facebook, if anyone else experiences this issue too:
