# Phonegap Build InAppBrowser

Hi Everyone!\
It is [necessary to add](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93843/is-it-necessary-to-add-bootstrap-js-and-bootstrap-css-both-in-your-project) any specific setting in **[config](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/55094/what-is-machine-config-in-asp-dot-net).[xml](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/203/working-with-xml-data-in-sql-server)** to have **inAppBrowser** working with **phonegap** build?\
I'm just adding:\
**[var](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33920/what-is-different-var-and-dynamic-types-in-c-sharp) [ref](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/217/what-is-the-difference-between-ref-out-parameters) = window.open([url](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/436/url-redirection), '_blank');**\
or\
**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](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/33258/jee-mains-and-jee-advance-exams) 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!
