The problem is the following: As soon as I use the accordion in a view that is loaded in the ng-view directive, the accordion title clicks dont work correctly anymore

If the accordion is use in the page itself with no ng-view, the accordion works perfectly

Actually, there might be a simpler solution.

You can just make sure that the links don't propagate the URL change.

Add to the a tag onclick="return false;"

This worked for me. It might not be the best practice but I've been stuck with this for a few hours now. Thanks @mfloryan! – pgarciacamou Dec 25 '14 at 00:29

You can empty the href="" and use

data-target="#collapse" instead, this worked for me

i.e

<a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="" 
data-target="#collapse1">Collapsible Group 1</a>

+10 if a could. This should be the accepted answer! Non-intrusive in general app config as `html5Mode` and a good practice using the same attribute for others similar components – Andre Figueiredo May 26 '16 at 16:44
After trying lots of things, this was the solution for me! – Erich Oct 10 '16 at 20:36
+1 This helped me a lot, I was getting weird behavior with my accordion even after switching into html5 mode (and rewriting my expressJS urls) -- adding `data-target` and emptying my `href` remedied all the odd accordion behavior -- thank you greatly! – twknab Mar 25 '17 at 21:24

The problem is that Bootstrap appends #according_name within a a tag. This triggers a AngularJS routing and due to route change test.html is loaded again on every click on accordian link.

Your options are to try to configure $locationProvider to use HTML5 mode with hashbag if it works

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!');

See some documentation here

Other would be to use angular-ui component but it has been not ported to support version 3 of bootstrap.

Looks like the documentation that you added is no longer available. Could you add another link? – Coded Container Oct 14 '15 at 13:51
@CodedContainer please check now. – Chandermani Oct 14 '15 at 14:28

I was having an issue using href and data-target together, so if you are using this in an application I'd recommend specifying one or the other but not both.

When I used both, I'd get redirected to my login page as soon as I clicked on it. With one or the other specified it worked fine, but not with both.
