Hi All,

In my ionic hybrid app (android) in the welcome screen I am having a button which on clicked I will open a browser using the inapp browser plugin and redirect to my PWA site. In this inapp browser I want to hide the url bar. How to do it. Below changes is not giving any result -

> this.iab.create(url,‘\_system’, ‘location=no’);

Please suggest!

Thanks

regards,  
Mano

Are you using InAppBrowser via Ionic Native or the Cordova Plugin directly?

Generally what you posted doesn’t really look wrong. Do any of the other available options work?

I am using Ionic native for InAppBrowser functionality. I tried with all the 3 available options of create() method - \_self, \_blank & \_system.  
Nothing works… Don’t know I am missing anything here

Thanks
