I was using Flutter's url_launcher package. However, the link is opening in the app itself. I want it to open in my browser. Here is my code:

Future<void> launchUrlInBrowser(String url) async {
  Uri urlparsed=Uri.parse(url);
  if (!await launchUrl(urlparsed)) {
    throw Exception('Could not launch $url');
  }
}

The solution I found for the problem is adding an additional parameter to launcUrl( ) method. The parameter is mode: LaunchMode.externalApplication. This parameter will launch the URL in an external app.

Here is my code fix:

Future<void> launchUrlInBrowser(String url) async {
  Uri urlparsed=Uri.parse(url);
  if (!await launchUrl(urlparsed,mode: LaunchMode.externalApplication)) {
    throw Exception('Could not launch $url');
  }
}

EDIT: Flutter now allows you to choose to open the URL in the same tab or a different tab. All you have to do is add an optional string after the mode parameter.

The strings can be one of the following:

• "_blank" opens the new URL in a new tab.
• "_self" opens the new URL in the current tab. Default behaviour when unset is to open the url in a new tab.

For example, launchUrl(urlparsed,mode: LaunchMode.externalApplication), webOnlyWindowName: "_self")
