I would like to know how can I open an url in the app context of embed webview. Currently this demo will open a new tab in external browser, so, not what I am expected. I am using google.com just for testing.
Summary, I am looking for a functional demo.

Complete xml file:
https://codeshare.io/Vw3Fl
try :
window.open('https://google.com', '_self ', 'location=yes');
instead of :
window.location.href = 'https://google.com';
This will use the InAppBrowser, and use _self as target.
You have to add this line on the config.xml to allow navigation to external urls
<allow-navigation href="*" />
This will allow navigation to any external url, if you just want to allow the navigation to google then add this line
<allow-navigation href="https://google.com" />
You can check the rest of the documentation on the plugin page
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist
For those having this problem while using Phonegap 6.3.1, you should whitelist the urls properly and use the cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin.
Read on for how to do this.
First, ensure you have whitelisted the urls you want to open. You do this by adding them to the hrefs of <access> tags, <allow-intent> tags and allow-navigation tags in your config.xml file at the root of the project. Something liek th:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.phonegap.helloworld" version="1.0.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0">
...
<access origin="*" />
<allow-intent href="*" />
<allow-navigation href="*" />
...
</widget>
(Note: the "*" in the above hrefs allows the opening of any url/path. In production, you probably want to restrict to certain urls/paths)
Next, in your index.html file, add the following javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
var url = 'https://www.google.com' // change to whatever you want
cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_self', 'location=no');
}, false)
</script>
This script uses the cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin, which, if you generated your application using the standard Phonegap template, should already be included in your config.xml file.
The script waits for the device to be ready, then uses the cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin to open the given url. The '_self' parameter means it opens the page in the Phonegap webview and the 'location=no' means that there will be no address bar. For other parameter options see the documentation for the cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin (link above).
Finally, to test the application in the appropriate emulators (assuming you have the Phonegap CLI installed), run the following command(s):
phonegap run ios --verbose --stack-trace
phonegap run android --verbose --stack-trace
You may have to add the following to your phonegap xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phonegap>
<access origin="https://abcx.com" subdomains="true" />
</phonegap>
A very simple way to open page in system browser in a phonegap application is by rendering that page in an iframe.
<iframe src="http://www.google.com></iframe>
You can change the URL in the iframe using dom update.
This will load in the page in the native system browser.
install the following plugin by typing these commands in your project directory
phonegap plugin add cordova-plugin-whitelist
phonegap prepare
then add the following following tags in index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

I have a basic cordova app running on android that loads my main web app in a webview.
When running my web app via cordova it will not download any pdf's over https that are located in the same hosting subscription as my app.
Downloading pdf's over https from other websites work fine - including other hosting subscriptions on the same server.
Downloading pdf's over http work fine no matter where the are hosted.
All other files (including txt files) download ok no matter where they are hosted (either by http or https).
EXAMPLE:
https://mywebsite.com/test.txt (DOWNLOADS OK)
https://mywebsite.com/test.pdf (DOES NOT DOWNLOAD)
http://mywebsite.com/test.pdf (DOWNLOADS OK)
https://anyanotherwebsite.com/test.txt (DOWNLOADS OK)

DOWNLOAD SAMPLE CORDOVA PROJECT:

The sample cordova project redirects to https://cordova1.mydevelopmentserver.com which contains the following html file which can be used to test the issue. I have also setup https://cordova2.mydevelopmentserver.com exactly the same & the issue still occurs with that domain as well.

OTHER NOTES:
I don't think that it is not an issue with the server as links to a pdf from another website on the same server works ok.
I don't think that it is not an issue with the SSL certificate as other links to hosting subscription with the same SSL work ok.
I'm new to cordova but think it may be an issue with my configuration somewhere but have already ripped out as much of the config as I can.
Cordova version: 7.0
Android version: 7.0
Phone: Samsung S8+
Also tested it on a Samsung S4 running Android 5.0.1 but have the same issue.
Using your example I could reproduce your issue & it looks like it is related to using the WebView. If I use the InAppBrowser I can open PDF's over https fine (no matter where they are).
Hopefully you can at least use the InAppBrowser until a proper solution is found.
If you are sure of SSL validity try to set properly content security policy or cordova allow origin of whitelist plugin: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-whitelist/
For suspect invalid SSL certificate take a look here: http://ivancevich.me/articles/ignoring-invalid-ssl-certificates-on-cordova-android-ios/
From my experience i think is somekind of issue related to trust your cert from cordova webview, in the above link you may try to implement onReceivedSslError handle and look if SSL cert have a problem.
Try to test your SSL cert here to make sure it not have issues: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
In Handshake Simulation report you are able to verify many mobile platform and webviews version to check if certificate is trusted or not.
Hope it helps.
Since using Cordova version 6, I have a siginificant problems using a Iframe. The Iframe-URL, I'm calling works fine in each browser, also in cordova-app on emulator. But on real devices, I have a really big problem using this Iframe.
What I'm doing:
Connecting to Qlik Sense Server (Qlik is a Business Intelligence Software) via Single API, using a link like this:
https://my-server.com/single/?appid=bba3d39c-4570-4056-8d49-5b64405647d8&sheet=kwZkH&select=clearall&opt=debug
Beacause, I'm not logged in yet, I will be automatically routet to this authentication site:
https://my-server.com:4244/form/?targetId=a0553562-06f5-4c5b-b4ba-69b6859d0cef
After logging in successfully, the URL turns back to the Single-API URL, extended with a qlikTicket for the session.
https://my-server.com/single/?appid=bba3d39c-4570-4056-8d49-5b64405647d8&sheet=kwZkH&select=clearall&opt=debug&qlikTicket=S_SPh6fvNkTecbz9
So what's my real problem? Since using the latest Cordova version 6, the redirection from authentication to the origin Single-URL crashes. The session is enabled for less than a second and then turns me back to authentication site.
This problem only occurs on real Android devices. Using the this link in browser, works. Using Iframe in browser, works. Trying out the cordova application on Android emulator, everything works fine! Trying out the cordova application on real Android devices, doesn't work!
What's going wrong?
Does have cordova any problems holding the qlikTicket in URL? Because I'm directly redirected to authentication site.
I know that there is a new security model since cordova 5. So I've implemented the cordova-whitelist-plugin and granted all access to intents, navigation and acces, as you can see here in my config.xml:
<widget id="de.inform.feliosmobile4" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

So does anybody have an idea what is happening here and why? I've already contacted Qlik support. There is no problem from Qlik side.
... Using cordova version 4, all ran perfectly and I had no problems. Building the same code in cordova 6, the app doesn't run as it should.
What you can find in LOG-file from the Cordova-App is the following:
11-07 13:40:39.855 13009 13009 I chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(44)] "TypeError: Cannot redefine property: qlikTicket
So it seems, that the additional auth-info in URL (qlikTicket) gets lost. How to prevent this?
I am just about two month in phonegap leason. I have been testing the app in the google ripple emulator, and everything is working great with the google map.
However, when I upload this project into phonegap build, and install it into my Android Device, the google map doesn't show up.

The only console message I got in the phonegap debug service is:
No Content-Security-Policy meta tag found. Please add one when using the cordova-plugin-whitelist plugin.
Can anybody help me out with this, please?
Many thanks in advance.
You have to add this line in your index.html (head section):
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src ...">
For detailed explanation check this docs:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist#content-security-policy
A post here on SO: "No Content-Security-Policy meta tag found." error in my phonegap application
I made an Android application which uses this Cordova plugin for Google Maps. It's another sort of solution alternative, but it worked for me, so, you can try it out. I prefer to this approach because the plugin uses native code, theferore, the performance will be nicer and faster. Moreover, It has an excellent documentation; Cordova and Phonegap is the same pretty much. If you use the plugin, you will avoid adding those entries on config.xml with accesses tag as to GMaps, it will be cleaner.
Installation
phonegap plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="ANDROID_API_KEY" --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS="IOS_API_KEY"
If you have doubts with Phonegap CLI, read this link.
Setting
Html:
<div id="map" style="width:100%;height:100%"></div>
Javascript:
var map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap(document.getElementById("map"));
map.one(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, function () {
var DEFAULT_MAP_TYPE = plugin.google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID
map.setMapTypeId(DEFAULT_MAP_TYPE);
});
Important: You must sign the application prior to run it, the SHA1 hash must match with the registered one in Google Maps API for Android. However, if you use iOS, this is not required.
You should add the deviceready listener after the document is ready:
$(document).ready(function () {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, true);
});
function onDeviceReady() {
alert ('123');
}
Try adding whitelisting the url by adding this inside the head section

I have an android app that we are deploying to the problematic BES12 secure workspace. This has a web browser which has to use a proxy.
This app is really simple, it opens a webpage, however it opens using a browser within the app which will not use the proxy settings.
I need this app to open a webpage but using the PHONE BROWSER (i,e outside of the app).
I have read, and followed multiple threads about opening a URL in the phone browser and NOT the app and none of them work.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-large text-center" onclick="window.open('http://(removed for security)', '_blank', 'location=yes');">Reload cURLs Library</button>
</p>
</div>
</body>
<script>
// redirect to google after 5 seconds
window.setTimeout(function() {
window.open('http://(removed for security)', '_blank', 'location=yes');
}, 2000);
</script>
</html>
In essense the first time it runs, it auto opens the URL, but the app will stay in the background to reload latest versions if needed via the button.
All I want this to do is to open the URL OUTSIDE of the app, i.e. in the default browser.
I have also tried a target of "_system"
Many thanks in advance for helping to end this headache
Well. So simple, it bites..
Added the following to my config.xml file
<preference name="stay-in-webview" value="false" />
and now done
I've created a very simple mobile app with phonegap which doesn't do anything network related. All resources (images, css, etc) are local and I don't do any ajax calls to a remote server. But when I check the mobile data screen on my phone, I see that it has used some data. See screenshot bellow (4th app called "cherouvim phonegap test"). It says 308KB and that was in 5 hours.
Clicking on that gives me the following breakdown:
foreground: 91.23KB
background: 217KB
html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="phonegap.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

</html>
I build with phonegap build and my config.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
id = "cherouvim.test"
version = "1.0.0">
<name>cherouvim phonegap test</name>
<description>...</description>
<preference name="phonegap-version" value="3.5.0" />
<preference name="android-installLocation" value="auto" />
<preference name="orientation" value="portrait" />
<preference name="fullscreen" value="true" />
<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.media" />
<feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/network" />
<access origin="*" />
<gap:platform name="android" />
</widget>
In the documentation it says:
<!-- If you do not want any permissions to be added to your app, add the
following tag to your config.xml; you will still have the INTERNET
permission on your app, which PhoneGap requires. -->
<preference name="permissions" value="none"/>
Is this a hint that Phonegap actually does something network related behind the scenes?
Edit: In case it matters I'm using nexus 5 (android 4.4.4) and I've enabled the "developer mode" and the ART runtime.
Building the app in phonegap build with the "enable debugging" option set injects the following just before </body>.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://debug.build.phonegap.com/target/target-script-min.js#35fd7e24-189a-11e4-8c3c-e63707b18140"></script>
This is used for the weinre remote debugger of phonegap build.
Building without the "enable debugging" option doesn't inject this remote script. So, an app built for production use wouldn't actually use any mobile data as I initially thought it would.
