cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

Yous can show helpful manufactures, videos, and web resources inside of your app. Users tin view web pages without leaving your app.

To go a few ideas, check out the sample at the bottom of this folio or go direct to the reference content.

This plugin provides a web browser view that displays when calling cordova.InAppBrowser.open().

              var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=yep');

`window.open`

The cordova.InAppBrowser.open() role is divers to be a drop-in replacement for the window.open() part. Existing window.open() calls can utilize the InAppBrowser window, by replacing window.open up:

              window.open up = cordova.InAppBrowser.open;

If y'all alter the browsers window.open part this manner, it can have unintended side effects (especially if this plugin is included only every bit a dependency of another plugin).

The InAppBrowser window behaves similar a standard spider web browser, and can't admission Cordova APIs. For this reason, the InAppBrowser is recommended if you demand to load tertiary-party (untrusted) content, instead of loading that into the primary Cordova webview. The InAppBrowser is not subject to the whitelist, nor is opening links in the organisation browser.

The InAppBrowser provides past default its ain GUI controls for the user (back, frontwards, done).

Installation

              cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

If yous desire all page loads in your app to go through the InAppBrowser, you can merely hook window.open during initialization. For instance:

              certificate.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); function onDeviceReady() {     window.open = cordova.InAppBrowser.open; }

Example

              var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=aye'); var ref2 = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(encodeURI('http://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ハングル'), '_blank', 'location=yeah');

OSX Quirks

At the moment the but supported target in OSX is _system.

_blank and _self targets are not yet implemented and are ignored silently. Pull requests and patches to go these to work are greatly appreciated.

iOS Quirks

Since the introduction of iPadOS thirteen, iPads try to adapt their content way / user amanuensis for the optimal browsing feel. This may result in iPads having their user agent set to Macintosh, making information technology hard to detect them equally mobile devices using user amanuensis string sniffing. You can change this with the PreferredContentMode preference in config.xml.

<preference                name=                  "PreferredContentMode"                                value=                  "mobile"                                />

The example to a higher place forces the user agent to contain iPad. The other pick is to apply the value desktop to turn the user agent to Macintosh.

Browser Quirks

Plugin is implemented via iframe,
Navigation history (dorsum and forwards buttons in LocationBar) is not implemented.

              ref.addEventListener(eventname, callback);

ref: reference to the InAppBrowser window (InAppBrowser)
eventname: the upshot to listen for (String)
- loadstart: event fires when the InAppBrowser starts to load a URL.
- loadstop: result fires when the InAppBrowser finishes loading a URL.
- loaderror: event fires when the InAppBrowser encounters an error when loading a URL.

Sample: Prove assistance pages with an InAppBrowser

You tin employ this plugin to prove helpful documentation pages within your app. Users tin view online aid documents and and then close them without leaving the app.

Here's a few snippets that testify how you do this.

Requite users a way to enquire for help.
Load a assistance folio.
Permit users know that you're getting their page ready.
Prove the help page.
Handle folio errors.

Give users a mode to inquire for help

There'south lots of ways to practice this in your app. A drib downwards list is a simple mode to do that.

                <                select                id="help-select">                <                choice                value="default">Need help?</                option                >                <                option                value="commodity">Show me a helpful article</                option                >                <                option                value="video">Evidence me a helpful video</                option                >                <                option                value="search">Search for other topics</                option                >                </                select                >

Gather the users choice in the onDeviceReady office of the folio then send an advisable URL to a helper function in some shared library file. Our helper function is named showHelp() and we'll write that function adjacent.

                $                (                '#help-select'                )                .                on                (                'change'                ,                role                (                due east                )                {                var                url                ;                switch                (                this                .                value                )                {                case                "article":                url                =                "https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/"                +                "reference/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/index.html"                ;                pause                ;                example                "video":                url                =                "https://youtu.be/F-GlVrTaeH0"                ;                break                ;                case                "search":                url                =                "https://www.google.com/#q=inAppBrowser+plugin"                ;                break                ;                }                showHelp                (                url                )                ;                }                )                ;

Load a help page

Nosotros'll employ the open function to load the help folio. We're setting the hidden belongings to yep and then that nosotros can show the browser merely after the page content has loaded. That way, users don't see a blank browser while they await for content to appear. When the loadstop event is raised, we'll know when the content has loaded. We'll handle that issue shortly.

                function                showHelp                (                url                )                {                var                target                =                "_blank"                ;                var                options                =                "location=yep,subconscious=yep"                ;                inAppBrowserRef                =                cordova                .

Permit users know that yous're getting their folio ready

Because the browser doesn't immediately appear, we can use the loadstart result to show a status message, progress bar, or other indicator. This assures users that content is on the way.

                office                loadStartCallBack                (                )                {                $                (                '#condition-message'                )                .                text                (                "loading please look ..."                )                ;                }

Show the help page

When the loadstopcallback event is raised, we know that the content has loaded and we can brand the browser visible. This sort of trick can create the impression of meliorate performance. The truth is that whether you bear witness the browser before content loads or not, the load times are exactly the same.

                function                loadStopCallBack                (                )                {                if                (                inAppBrowserRef                !=                undefined                )                {                inAppBrowserRef                .                insertCSS                (                {                lawmaking:                "body{font-size: 25px;}"                }                )                ;                $                (                '#status-message'                )                .                text                (                ""                )                ;                inAppBrowserRef                .                show                (                )                ;                }                }

You might accept noticed the call to the insertCSS function. This serves no particular purpose in our scenario. But it gives you an idea of why you might use information technology. In this case, we're just making certain that the font size of your pages accept a sure size. You lot can use this part to insert any CSS style elements. Y'all tin fifty-fifty point to a CSS file in your projection.

Handle page errors

Sometimes a page no longer exists, a script error occurs, or a user lacks permission to view the resource. How or if you handle that situation is completely upwardly to you and your design. You can let the browser show that bulletin or y'all can present it in another way.

Nosotros'll try to prove that fault in a message box. We can do that by injecting a script that calls the alert office. That said, this won't piece of work in browsers on Windows devices and then nosotros'll have to look at the parameter of the executeScript callback part to see if our attempt worked. If it didn't work out for the states, we'll simply show the error message in a <div> on the page.

                function                loadErrorCallBack                (                params                )                {                $                (                '#status-bulletin'                )                .                text                (                ""                )                ;                var                scriptErrorMesssage                =                "alarm('Lamentable nosotros cannot open that page.
