InAppBrowser Events don't fire

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi

I’m kinda new to the whole typescript / angular thing so I’m already sorry if this is a really noob-y question.

Anyway, I’m trying to open a new InAppBrowser window in my ionic 2 app, and then read the parameter in the URL on the ‘loadstart’ event.

The Event doesn’t fire tho, and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I tried it with Google Android Emulator API 25 and also via Ionic View on my iPhone.

Here’s my code:

  let browser = new InAppBrowser(fullURL, '_blank');
  browser.on('loadstart')
    .subscribe(
      ((event) => {
        let params = new URLSearchParams(event.url);
        var access_token = params.get("code");
        console.log(event.url);
        console.log(access_token);
        browser.close;
      }
    ))

Ok, I’m having almost the same problem as you, but I am one step further I guess.

Turns out that you are subscribing to errors instead of successful results, because you are using one parameter on the subscription.

You can do this

let browser = new InAppBrowser(fullURL, '_blank');
browser.on('loadstart').subscribe(
  (() => { //no args
    //console.log(event.url); //problem is now I don't have the URL :(
    browser.close; //but this will work
}

but then you cannot access event.url, and this is my problem right now…

After upgrading to the official Ionic 2.0 release my problem has been resolved. I also added the URL to the white list, maybe that will help?
