How to open system browser on samsung smart tv with javascript sdk - javascript

I am experimenting with Sammsung Smart TV Javascript SDK and wonder that I cannot open Links in System browser.
I have found this Samsung Smart-TV SDK Internet Browser not available which is not what I want because it is not possible to navigate in this window via TV remote control.

Samsung doesn't give web browser in their SDK because the actual application also cannot open the web browser, so there is no point to bring web browser to SDK.
Developing the TV Apps is little different with mobile apps, in the mobile we can bring our ordinary website and put them on webview or html viewer because the navigation for click and else is same with desktop browser. but in TV apps you should utilize the remote control as the main input.

Is it possible to connect Web App to TV over WiFi or some other method?

For my web application (React), I either need to connect the app to the TV over WiFi or some other technology, as opposed to manually opening up a browser and entering the URL, or to somehow direct the TV to open my website.
Is this possible currently? Is there a way to scan the WiFi to find all devices connected to it, and somehow push data over WiFi to the TV to open a specific website?
I've found ConnectSDK (https://connectsdk.com/) which seems to make this possible but only for Android/iOS devices.

Mobile Web application running when screen is off?

I'm considering building a mobile Web application, using Jquery Mobile that will be used to track truck delivery.
I want to be able to periodically send gps coordinates back to the server? Can this be done if the screen is off?
If not can some alternate approaches be suggested..
If you are good in javascript and html you can go for phonegap. this framework will work like a native application and running from webview like browser. Since phonegap is a cross platform framework you can make your app compatible to many devices like windows phone, Apple, Android. To know more about phonegap or cordova click here
And yes phonegap does many function or features that can customize your application in many way. for example "WAKE LOCK" which keeps your application awake till you force close it.
or if you are using browser you can not run your code for long since browser is a big application android or your mobile system will close it.

Is there a way to create a URL that will be opened in mobile browser and not in facebook native uiwebview

I'm trying to develop a web site (outside of Facebook) that all users will reach from within Facebook native apps.

Launching Camera in Android Browser

I am developing a Web Application (not Android Native App) for mobile browser. How do you launch the Android Native camera using a web application on the android browser?
I am currently referring to the following camera tutorial. It works on desktop browser but not on Chrome mobile browsers because only Opera Mobile 12.0 supports getUserMedia.

I guess it is possible because if I access Facebook through my android browser (Not Facebook App), I can launch the phone native camera. Any help with the syntax to launch the android phone camera using HTML and Javascript will be great?
You can create an intent:// URL that will trigger the native camera app. But that just launches this native app. There is no back channel that returns the taken picture to your web app.
