Re: [PhoneGap] inAppBrowser with _system target on Android

[Kerri Shotts]

Where's _system being used? Is it from code in the regular web view (that is, not in the IAB), or is it being called from code within the IAB's web view?

Hi,

is the '_system' target supposed to work with inAppBrowser on Android ?

I am trying to use this target, but an error appears in the logcat :

06-05 12:27:40.956: D/InAppBrowser(16134): target = _system

06-05 12:27:40.956: D/InAppBrowser(16134): in system

06-05 12:27:40.976: D/InAppBrowser(16134): InAppBrowser: Error loading url file:///android_asset/www/popup.html:android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=file:///android_asset/www/popup.html }

'_blank' is working correctly.

I am testing this on Android 4.1.1 with Cordova 2.7.0

Any idea ?

What are you running this on? It seems odd that there isn't a default
program setup to view HTML.

I'll echo Simon's question: what in the world could you be running this on that doesn't have some sort of way to view HTML? The default browser should at least be able to handle it…!?

I am running the app on an Acer Iconia Tab A700, with Android 4.1.1.

There are 2 browsers installed : native Android browser and Google Chrome.

[Kerri Shotts]

Huh. Something's off then: I would expect you to be able to load the page using the local browser.

Is there any chance you've got some screwed up settings that are preventing the browser from handling the intent? Or has Acer done something nutty… (not unheard of)?

Oh, another interesting fact: It all works fine if I use a remote address (http) for both html and pdf. It fails with file:/// protocol

[Simon MacDonald]

I was too busy last week to read the original problem properly. The
"_system" version of the IAB will start whatever your default web
browser is for your platform and it will read http protocol files just
fine. However, it is unable to read file://android_asset files as it
cannot get access to those files as they are contained within your
.apk and not accessible to other programs.

You'll have to use "_self" or "_blank" to open files in the Android
assets folder.

Thank you for your reply Simon. The pdf  files are on the sdcard , I have tried different folders. We also obviously can't use blank for pdfs on android. I think I'm just going to download the file and then tell the user where it is for now.
