Laxman created CB-13198:
---------------------------
Summary: InAppBrowser doesnot disptach events after system browse
is open.
Key: CB-13198
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13198
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
Reporter: Laxman
The InAppBrowser instance does not automatically dispatch the events after the
system browser is opened via InAppBrowser. Please follow the generic code below:
{code:java}
//example 1 : bug with cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_system');
//event hander for inAppBrowser
function inAppBrowserEventHandler(event){
//process few logic with the event parameter
//and if conditions met lets open it on system browser
var url = 'https://cordova.apache.org/';
//open the url in system browser
var _inAppBrowserSystem = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_system');
}
//open the link in inside the iAB without
var _inAppBrowser = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_blank');
_inAppBrowser.addEventListener('loadstop', inAppBrowserEventHandler);
{code}
The _inAppBrowser instance works fine for the first time. But as soon as the
system browser is opened, the event 'for eg. loadstop' does not fire
automatically. This bug/issue appears only when system browser is open. for eg,
the following code works perfectly.
{code:java}
//example 2 : no bug without cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_system');
//event hander for inAppBrowser
function inAppBrowserEventHandler(event){
//process few logic with the event parameter
//and if conditions met lets open it on system browser
var url = 'https://cordova.apache.org/';
//log the url in the console instead of browser
console.log('open this url in the system browser ' + url)
}
//open the link in inside the iAB without
var _inAppBrowser = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_blank');
_inAppBrowser.addEventListener('loadstop', inAppBrowserEventHandler);
{code}
It seems the new '_inAppBrowserSystem' instance somehow interrupts the event
dispatcher for the '_inAppBrowser' instance. I found that if the
_inAppBrowserSystem is assign the same eventHandler, then _inAppBrowser starts
to dispatch the event. The following code helped me solve the problem but this
should still be registered as a bug.
{code:java}
//example 3 : hack/solution with cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_system');
//event hander for inAppBrowser
function inAppBrowserEventHandler(event){
//process few logic with the event parameter
//and if conditions met lets open it on system browser
var url = 'https://cordova.apache.org/';
//open the url in system browser
var _inAppBrowserSystem = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_system');
//for somereason, after assigning the same event handler to the
_inAppBrowserSystem, the event dispatcher continues to work
_inAppBrowserSystem.addEventListener('loadstop', inAppBrowserEventHandler);
}
//open the link in inside the iAB without
var _inAppBrowser = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_blank');
_inAppBrowser.addEventListener('loadstop', inAppBrowserEventHandler);
{code}
I have the solution for now, but I still register this as a bug as the event
dispatcher is not consistent. For instance, the code in 'example 1' should work
as in 'example 2'. If there is not a quick fix, I hope at least the
documentation get updated with this hack.
Thx
Laxman
