I'm building a Cordova app which has a link to an external site (https://www.example.com). I need the page to open in a full screen browser window(address bar hidden) on clicking a button in the app. Is there a way this can be done? Thank you in advance.

EDIT

I've tried using the inAppBrowser but the reason it isn't working is because the external site that I'm opening requires a windows authentication. Because the inAppBrowser is the topmost view, the popup for the windows authentication doesn't show up and hence, I'm unable to view the page.

  • I dont think there is thing which will open a full screen webbrowser, You can you inAPP web browser for the purpose – Murtaza Khursheed Hussain Nov 23 '15 at 06:49
  • Yes this can be done using `UIWebView` and presenting the corresponding page within a `UIView`. There are a number of ways this can be done. Additional information in your question will assist with a more detailed response. – andrewbuilder Nov 23 '15 at 06:49
  • `android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"` just add (or change) the activity's android:theme attribute with given line in AndroidManifest.xml file – sud Nov 23 '15 at 06:51
  • I've added some edits to the question as to why the inAppBrowser cannot be used. Please have a look and suggest another method or a fix to the problem if possible. – Abhimanyu Mukherjee Nov 23 '15 at 07:06
  • @sud I tried your fix, but the browser still opens with the address bar – Abhimanyu Mukherjee Nov 23 '15 at 07:17

Use this plugin, Then

ADD in the head 

cordova.js

ADD a reference to YOUR InAppBrowser.js file

ADD links 

onclick="var ref = window.open('LINK_HERE', '_self','location=no');

  • Hi, please refer to the edit that I've posted. I'd been trying to use the inappbrowser to fix this problem but it doesn't work because of the aforementioned reasons. – Abhimanyu Mukherjee Nov 23 '15 at 07:07

Try this one, it worked for me
Step1: Add in app browser plugin as 

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 1.0.2


step2: Add this code in your html page as 

<a class="item" href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank', 'location=yes'); return false;">

  • I tried this. But the problem is, is that my page has a windows authentication along with it. Whenever I try to use the inAppBrowser the popup for the login doesn't appear and it says "Failed to open document. You don't have access to the document". This is why I wanted the automatic full screen mode because it works perfectly if I open it in the system browser. But I need the address bar disabled or hidden. – Abhimanyu Mukherjee Nov 23 '15 at 07:25
  • If you want to disable the address bar you can you location=no – Anil kumar Nov 23 '15 at 07:29
