Phonegap Build InAppBrowser

marcel ethan 4096 03 Jun 2013

Hi Everyone!

It is necessary to add any specific setting in config.xml to have inAppBrowser working with phonegap build?

I'm just adding:

var ref = window.open(url, '_blank');

var ref = window.open(url, 'blank');

but it doesn't work.

My config xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<widget xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0" id = "com.phonegap.myapp">
    <name>My app</name>
    <description>test</description>
    <preference name="phonegap-version" value="2.7.0" />
    <access origin="*" />
    <preference name="fullscreen" value="false" />
</widget>

Thanks in advance for your positive response.

Hi Marcel,

I do this which will open the in-app browser:

window.open(destination, '_blank', 'location=yes,enableViewportScale=yes');

In your config.xml you should have a lot more than what you have there. This is mine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget>
<preference name="AllowInlineMediaPlayback" value="false" />
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="BackupWebStorage" value="cloud" />
<preference name="DisallowOverscroll" value="false" />
<preference name="EnableLocation" value="false" /><!-- DEPRECATED -->
<preference name="EnableViewportScale" value="false" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value=".25" />
<preference name="HideKeyboardFormAccessoryBar" value="false" />
<preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="true" />
<preference name="KeyboardShrinksView" value="false" />
<preference name="MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction" value="false" />
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="true" />
<preference name="SuppressesIncrementalRendering" value="false" />
<preference name="TopActivityIndicator" value="gray" />
<content src="index.html" />
<plugins>
    <plugin name="Device" value="CDVDevice" />
    <plugin name="Logger" value="CDVLogger" />
    <plugin name="Compass" value="CDVLocation" />
    <plugin name="Accelerometer" value="CDVAccelerometer" />
    <plugin name="Camera" value="CDVCamera" />
    <plugin name="NetworkStatus" value="CDVConnection" />
    <plugin name="Contacts" value="CDVContacts" />
    <plugin name="Debug Console" value="CDVDebugConsole" />
    <plugin name="Echo" value="CDVEcho" />
    <plugin name="File" value="CDVFile" />
    <plugin name="FileTransfer" value="CDVFileTransfer" />
    <plugin name="Geolocation" value="CDVLocation" />
    <plugin name="Notification" value="CDVNotification" />
    <plugin name="Media" value="CDVSound" />
    <plugin name="Capture" value="CDVCapture" />
    <plugin name="SplashScreen" value="CDVSplashScreen" />
    <plugin name="Battery" value="CDVBattery" />
    <plugin name="Globalization" value="CDVGlobalization" />
    <plugin name="InAppBrowser" value="CDVInAppBrowser" />
</plugins>
<access origin="*" />
</widget>

Yours might be smaller if you don't use all of the features of PhoneGap. You'll definitely need that InAppBrowser plugin however!
