Hi guys, The problem is this. I am trying to encapsulate the mobile version of a site and make it a mobile app temporary, so i can develop the real app in ionic slow and take my time to make it perfect. So, the app goes well, fires the URL i want, syncs well with all the plugins, but if the user g…

so what you are saying is that that when you press back multiple times the in app browser closes and never opens again?

When i press back from the inappbrowser, it goes in the ionic web view, the “Home” page with default html from ionic. In the home.ts is where i am loading the inappbrowser to trigger. So i don’t want the user to be able to move “back” from the URL loaded via Inappbrowser. And yes the user remains …

I think for this you will have to overwrite your $rootScope.$ionicGoBack() to instead of going back to the previous state should infact close the app. use this two methods in your controller… $rootScope.$ionicGoBack = function() { console.log("exiting the app"); ionic.Platform.exitApp(); …

i forgot to mention i need this in ionic 2. thank you

[image] Adu88: I am trying to make this URL as a standalone app that runs in ionic so that i can have access to plugins and functionalities. That’s not really how it works, in InAppBrowser you can’t access the plugins etc.

I am using OneSignal plugin that triggers when the user logins in the URL loaded by InAppBrowser, so actually i do have access to some plugins via InAppBrowser. But this is not the issue… the issue is stated above

[image] Adu88: But this is not the issue… the issue is stated above Yeah but you are fighting the system instead of working with it. I wouldn’t be surprise if Apple would decline the app when submitting to the App Store for example. Do you have any real code running in index.html and the Ion…

I am manipulating to load an external URL: example: const browser = this.iab.create(‘ https://google.com ’, ‘_blank’, { location: ‘no’, zoom: ‘no’, hardwareback: ‘no’ }); I was doing some testing with the “hardwareback” option from the “create” method. Basically i want all the functionalities …

This is not possible. When you load a site in the InAppBrowser, it is essentially loaded in it’s own isolated context. I does not have a reference to any cordova plugins nor does it know it’s being loaded in cordova. What you’re trying to do is not what the InAppBrowser was designed for.

@mhartington So i have the default ionic project with the only home page, where in the home.ts i am creating with InAppBrowser the URL instance. I just want to block the user there, when he uses the back button, not to return in the blank “home” page, but instead to close the app. So basically to …
