OK, problem 1 to close is solved.
This is what I use to open an external page in the InAppBrowser.
From the page that I load in the InAppBrowser, I can close the InAppBrowser itself, returning to my app from where I opened the browser.
Create a page on your server – closeInAppBrowser.html that is just an empty html page, it doesn´t do anything
I open the browser with this:
<a href="#" onclick="openInAppBrowserBlank('http://www.mypage.asp?userId=1');">open InAppBrowser</a>
var ref = null;
function openInAppBrowserBlank(url)
{
try {
ref = window.open(encodeURI(url),'_blank','location=no'); //encode is needed if you want to send a variable with your link if not you can use ref = window.open(url,'_blank','location=no');
ref.addEventListener('loadstop', LoadStop);
ref.addEventListener('exit', Close);
}
catch (err)
{
alert(err);
}
}
function LoadStop(event) {
if(event.url == "http://www.mypage.com/closeInAppBrowser.html"){
// alert("fun load stop runs");
ref.close();
}
}
function Close(event) {
ref.removeEventListener('loadstop', LoadStop);
ref.removeEventListener('exit', Close);
}
And to close the InAppBrowser from the page that I opened in the browser(http://www.mypage.asp) I have a button-link like this.
<a href="http://www.mypage.com/closeInAppBrowser.html"></a>
I hope it helps somebody else!
