Scheme

Sparkling pages/containers are opened by a hybrid://... URL. This document defines the unified scheme format and parameters that are applied on both Android and iOS.

Hosts (container types)

Sparkling supports multiple hybrid:// hosts:

  • hybrid://lynxview_page: Lynx page container (recommended)
  • hybrid://lynxview: legacy alias of lynxview_page (still supported)
  • hybrid://lynxview_card: Lynx card container (currently Android)
  • hybrid://webview: WebView container

Unless otherwise noted, examples below use lynxview_page.

Format

hybrid://lynxview_page?bundle=<bundlePath>[&title=<title>][&hide_nav_bar=1][&title_color=<color>][&container_bg_color=<color>][&force_theme_style=light|dark]
  • hybrid://lynxview_page: host type for Sparkling Lynx page containers (recommended).
  • bundle: points to the .lynx.bundle you ship inside the app.

Encoding rules

  • Always URL-encode parameter values.
  • If you pass hex colors, # must be encoded as %23 (otherwise it becomes a URL fragment).
  • Prefer building schemes with a query builder (URLSearchParams, Uri.Builder, etc.) instead of manual string concatenation.

Example with encoded colors:

hybrid://lynxview_page?bundle=main.lynx.bundle&title=Home&title_color=%23000000&container_bg_color=%23ffffff

Parameters (cross-platform)

Only the following parameters are guaranteed to have an effect on both Android and iOS.

Color format (cross-platform)

Use 6-digit RGB hex colors: #RRGGBB (encode # as %23 in a URL).

Do not use 8-digit hex colors for transparency in the scheme (Android and iOS interpret 8-digit hex differently).
