My angular JS application has a view button. When clicking on the view button, it will call method and that method changes the content in the same page. Now I have a request that when clicking on the view button, it has to open in a new tab and display the contents.
Previous code:
HTML:
<md-button ng-click="ctrl.ViewClick(item)">View</md-button>
Controller:
vm.ViewClick = function(item) {
// The browser URL is same but it is a new page with the new contents.
// Calls a angular js service and loads the contents
}
Now, I need to call that function in new browser tab.
I made the following changes but didn't worked. Can you please help me on this.
HTML:
<md-button ng-click="ctrl.NewTabClick(item)">View</md-button>
Controller:
vm.newTabClick = function(item){
$Window.open($location.absURL(), 'blank');
// How do I call vm.ViewClick function after opening the new browser window?
};
This is the old angular JS. Thanks for helping on this.
On workaround you can do in this case is, While opening the page pass query parameter in the URL.
vm.newTabClick = function(item){
// Add `viewLink=true` query parameter with true value
$Window.open($location.absURL() + '&viewLink=true', 'blank');
// Store item in sessionStorage
window.sessionStorage.setItem('item', JSON.stringify(item));
}
And then from the component where you want to call the parameter. You can write below code on $onInit lifecycle hook.
vm.$onInit = function () {
// Inject $routeParams in dependency areay
const storedItem = sessionStorage.getItem('item')
if ($routeParams.viewLink == 'true' && storedItem && storedItem != 'null') {
vm.viewLink(JSON.parse(storedItem));
}
}
pleas check this attached image I'm building an Ionic Android app with the InAppBrowser plugin. When the internet connection is not available, the plugin shows web page not available and requesting url.
Please help me customise the InAppBrowser error page (404 page). Or help me hide the requesting url.
Thank you.
I think I misunderstood your problem, first time, sorry about that. I'm reading again your problem and I'm figuring out what's happening. You need to add a custom configuration at config.xml to redirect to an error page when Cordova detect it. I hope this solve your problem.
<preference name="ErrorUrl" value="myErrorPage.html"/>
The original response works when you want to open a link through Cordova inAppBrowser plugin. If this doesn't sort out your problem, please reformulate your question.
Original response
You could be listening inAppBrowser events to figure what's happening.
Here, you can see how listen browser events, such as loaderror and manage the 404 error as you want. You must save a reference to inAppBrowser when open method is called, and then you could listen for error event.
function loadErrorCallBack(params) {
// Do stuff
}
inAppBrowserRef = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, target, options);
inAppBrowserRef.addEventListener('loaderror', loadErrorCallBack);
I am using Ionic 4 and I couldn’t manage to make the solution based on config.xml editing to work :
preference name="ErrorUrl" value="myErrorPage.html"/
Placing an addEventListener on loaderror didn’t work neither. It looks like it is not triggered by http errors and the plugin need a fix.
But we found a hack that is much simpler.
On loadstop we wait 500 milliseconds and then we get the loaded url by triggering executeScript with and window.location.href
If the loaded url is of the custom error page, in Cordova (not in IAB) we display a custom message with a back button.
It's a hack but that cover the requirement for now
I just came across the same problem and here's what I did. The code is for Android and works on IOS as well. But you would want to remove navigator.app.exitApp(); for IOS as Apple does not allow apps to take exit without pressing the home button.
Let me know if this works for you. It will hide default error page and open your custom error page. Write your own error code in myerrorpage.html
document.getElementById("openBrowser").addEventListener("click", openBrowser);
document.addEventListener("offline", onOffline, false);
function onOffline(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var src = 'myErrorPage.html';
var target = '_blank';
var option = "loaction=no, toolbar=no, zoom=no, hidden=yes, hardwareback=no";
var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(src, target, option);
alert('Your device is Offline. Please check your connection and try again.');
navigator.app.exitApp();
}
function openBrowser() {
var url = 'https://www.yourlink.com';
var target = '_self';
var options = "location=no,toolbar=no,zoom=no, hardwareback=no, hidden=yes" ;
var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, target, options);
}
When the components do not work, I perform the following procedure
ionic state reset
ionic platform remove android
ionic platform remove ios
ionic platform add android
ionic platform add ios
and try with ionicPlatform ready
<button class="button button-balanced" ng-click="OpenBrowser()">Test</button>
In controller
$scope.OpenBrowser = undefined;
$ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
$scope.OpenBrowser = function () {
$cordovaInAppBrowser.open('http://ngcordova.com', '_blank', options)
.then(function (event) {
})
.catch(function (event) {
$scope.Error = event;
});
};
});
I couldn't manage solution with setting ErrorUrl in Ionic 4 on Android to work.
Finally I came up with another solution - hide default error page and redirect user to any page (I use last page from event.url).
constructor(private iab: InAppBrowser) {
}
private openUrl(url: string)
{
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
if (this.platform.is('cordova')) {
this.openBrowser(url);
}
});
}
private openBrowser(url: string): InAppBrowserObject
{
const options: InAppBrowserOptions = {
location: 'no',
zoom: 'no',
hidden: 'no'
};
const browser = this.iab.create(url, '_blank', options);
browser.on('loaderror').subscribe(
event => this.onLoadError(event, browser)
);
return browser;
}
private onLoadError(event: InAppBrowserEvent, browser: InAppBrowserObject): void
{
browser.executeScript({
code: `
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
document.querySelector('body').style.background = 'black';
document.querySelector('body').innerHTML = '';
}, true);
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
window.location.replace('${event.url}');
}, true);
`,
}
).then();
}
Changing background and redirecting is tricky - from my experiments using injectCss won't work, because body is generated in the meantime. Using DOMContentLoader makes it black and clears text on screen.
But redirecting won't work in DOMContentLoader (don't ask me why), so you need to use load event.
It works great when user is using hardware back and returns to POST request - this way he will be redirected to GET of the same url (but you can use any url you want).
I have an Ionic App where from side menu click it will go to page A and from there on certain action it will go to Page B and I need back button on all the pages which will navigate it back to mobile app.
I tried this code
$scope.goOut= function () {
//$scope.showLoading($ionicLoading);
var url = "https://www.google.com";
var target = '_blank';
var options = ['location=no','hardwareback=yes','toolbarposition=top', 'toolbar=yes','enableViewportScale=yes',
'transitionstyle=fliphorizontal',
'closebuttoncaption=Back to the App'];
var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, target, options.join());
ref.addEventListener("loadstop",function () {
$scope.hide($ionicLoading);
});
};
But this is not showing me anything on the inappbrowser.
I must be doing something horribly wrong? and its not even showing loading?
I'm looking on how to stop an iFrame video with angular js !
I'm new to Angularjs and I'm not able to do that, I could do that with jQuery :
var TheFrame;
$(document).on( "pagebeforehide", function( event, data ) {
TheFrame = $(event.target).find("iframe");
setTimeout(StopVideo, 500);
});
function StopVideo(){
var vid = TheFrame.prop("src");
TheFrame.prop("src", "");
TheFrame.prop("src", vid);
}
So if you have an idea on how to do that when clicking on button for example that would be great
I have deployed a native app android + ios with sencha touch + phonegap.
If we click a link inside the app it opens inside the app and we cannot go out.
Does someone now how it is posible to let links open into the phone browser?
window.open("yoururl", '_blank');
The phonegap version I used was 2.9.0 if I am not mistaken.
I had the same problem and solved it as follows:
Embed the JQuery javascript file in your project. In my case it was:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
Then I wrote the following function, which I called in the onDeviceReady function:
function enableHttpLinks() {
$('.externalLink').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
url = $(this).attr("href");
window.open(url, '_system');
});
}
In order for this function to work, you have a assign the class externalLink to all the links you want to open in the device browser, as shown below:
your link title
good luck...
Just add this function inside "launch" function, in the app.js like this:
launch: function() {
// Destroy the #appLoadingIndicator element
//Ext.fly('appLoadingIndicator').destroy();
// Initialize the main view
Ext.Viewport.add(Ext.create('yourApp.view.Main'));
// Voila :
Ext.Viewport.element.dom.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
if (e.target.tagName !== 'A') {
return;
};
var url = e.target.getAttribute('href');
var containsHttp = new RegExp('http\\b');
//if href value begins with 'http'
if(containsHttp.test(url)) {
e.preventDefault();
window.open(url, "_system"); // For iOS
navigator.app.loadUrl(url, {openExternal: true}); //For Android
}
else {
return;
}
}, false);
}, //...
Then you can build for android and iOS at the same time.
