Hello guys, i was changing a little bit my config.xml to make possible the “tel:” and “geo:” but now my simple links with href don’t work…

Tried this:  
`<ion-item menu-close ng-href="#/app/browse">`

And this  
`<ion-item menu-close href="#/app/browse">`

Also this is my config.xml:  
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <widget id="com.ionicframework.trevol467701" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0"> <name>Trevol</name> <description> An Ionic Framework and Cordova project. </description> <author email="you@example.com" href="http://example.com.com/"> Your Name Here </author> <content src="index.html"/> <access origin="tel:*" launch-external="yes" /> <access origin="mailto:*" launch-external="yes" /> <access origin="geo:*" launch-external="yes" /> <access origin="*"/> <allow-navigation href="*" />`

All links work in the chrome browser, but when i switch to android just don’t work… help

try using ng-href or ui-sref of the ui-router ([https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Quick-Reference#ui-sref](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Quick-Reference#ui-sref)) instead of href

Still not working…

Also i have this in my app.js

`.config(['$compileProvider', function($compileProvider){ $compileProvider.aHrefSanitizationWhitelist(/^\s*(https?|ftp|mailto|chrome-extension):/); }])`

Maybe is this what cause conflicts…

Thx for your reply
