inAppBrowser not working

[Arya Garg]

Hello Phonegap/Cordova Developers,

I want to open links inside the app, to do so I am using cordova's inappbrowser. As you can see in attached file I have done everything what was needed to open links in inappbrowser, however its behaving quite differently in ios. Yes its behaving differently in ios and working as expected in android. I am sick and tired of trying various methods but I am not sure what is the right way to implement.

I added locatio=true but its not working either.Even though no event is being fired on loardtart,loadstop,exit. 

I also tried using childbrowser plugin but as per phonegap docs they are no more supporting childbrowser plugin because inappbrowser is in core of phonegap/cordova now.

Please suggest me some.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

Mine works when I do it this way:

How is your way different?

[Shazron]

You can't add event listeners to an InAppBrowser launched using _system, since we don't have control over Mobile Safari

I used _blank as well but I am not sure why its not working, none of the events is working. could you please share me code of working example. Its to be noted that its not working on ios only.

[Arya Garg]

no I even tried this way its not working could you please share some  sample code.

[Shazron]

Try in a new project. Add the inappbrowser plugin, then add the sample code. It does work.

No luck :(. Here is dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/s/bw43mfasm39id6z/TestAppIos.zip  to newly created project but nothing is working.

[Shazron]

I downloaded your app, ran it in the emulator -- every single test works.

> cordova prepare

> cordova emulate ios

[Arya Garg]

did you test on ios?

[Arya Garg]

I tested on ipad with ios 7 and ios 6 simulator but no results.

[Shazron]

Yes, like I said, it works fine. I even specified what I ran:

> cordova prepare

> cordova emulate ios

[Arya Garg]

you executed code without changes?

[Shazron]

For the final time - yes. I  just ran those two commands

[Arya Garg]

I am sorry that I am asking you again and again but its not working on any of my emulator or device :(. Could you please share screenshots?

[Shazron]

I don't think screenshots will help convince you. You'll have to wait for others to grab your code to verify my results, which I have double checked by unzipping your code fresh -- it still works.

Print out the cordova version you are using:

cordova -v

All they need to do is grab your code, run these two commands below in the folder, and try your tests manually. I'm confident it will work unless their cordova environment is faulty.

$ cordova prepare

$ cordova emulate ios

[Arya Garg]

Hi, I updated cordova build but still its not working.

[Shazron]

I asked about your cordova version, run:

cordova -v

[Arya Garg]

Abhisheks-Mac-mini:~ abhishekgarg$ cordova -v
3.3.1-0.1.2

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxYSHjZ3x4uiRi1HellpYmc3Z0E/edit?usp=sharing  is output what I get upon clicking links. As you can see there is no address bar or close button.

[jcesarmobile]

I've downloaded your project and didn't work, but after running the "cordova prepare" command it worked

[Arya Garg]

could you please share screenshots?

[jcesarmobile]

I've already deleted the app and the project, but it worked after running the "cordova prepare" command

[Arya Garg]

hmm, I am not saying its not working it is working but its not working as expected.

[jcesarmobile]

The files you are sharing are protected, we can't see them

[Arya Garg]

its available for public now, please check and confirm the same.

[jcesarmobile]

You get that using any of the options?
I got it as it was described, the firt one with toolbar and location bar, the second just with the toolbar, the third with "return" instead "ok"

[Arya Garg]

Its not working, please share the screenshots if you can.

[jcesarmobile]

the 3 first options

[Arya Garg]

hmm, did you make any changes? what version you are using?

didn't change anything

I've 3.1.0-0.2.0 installed

[Arya Garg]

Issue has been resolved. I deleted existing project updated to latest version and all is working.

[Dan Allen]

I also got this to work, but I had to run the simulator through xcode.

I downloaded the code from drop box to my MacBookPro running OSX 10.9.  My cordova version is 3.3.1-0.1.2

In the terminal, I navigated to the project directory (testappios, containing the downloaded files.)

I ran cordova prepare, that ran ok, but when I run cordova emulate ios, I get an error:

Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "ios"

Now that I have a project that works, from this sample, need to get it working in my own project!

[Arya Garg]

First use Cordova build instead Cordova prepared, second make sure you Cordova.js and Cordova_plugins.js are on same location, 3rd make sure path to plugins is correct in Cordova_plugins.js

[Dan Allen]

Sorry for duplicate post, but I wanted to get any comment you might have regarding what happened when I tried reproducing your result.  I did get the project to run in xcode, with InAppBrowser working as you did, but when I ran  cordova prepare then cordova emulate, I got the following (My cordova version is 3.3.1-0.1.2):

Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "ios"

Any idea why I would get this result?

Arggg.  The inapp browser will not load the done button for me.  When I ran the prepare command, it screwed up my waiting dialog amongst other things.  Very frustrating.

[Justin]

My fault.  Apparently, I don't understand the new paradigm shift introduced in 3.0.  The prep command just overrode all of my changes in the xCode project with a copy of what was in the root www folder.

However, the prep command also got the done button to show up.
