Sorry, but your question is too vague. Try to be more specific.

You cannot access Cordova

You cannot access Cordova plugin APIs from within the inAppBrowser. Please see the plugin documentation > https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser#cordova-plugin-inappbrowser <

Since your mobile app is not part of your website (it is not a page served up by your website), you have to treat access to data on your website as if you were coming from another domain. So you may have to use an oauth technique or an API published by your web server to do what you want. There is not way to encapsulate all the things you can do on a website into a mobile app, they are two independent entities.

To learn how to do what you want to do I recommend you seach StackOverflow for solutions, search under the PhoneGap and Cordova tags. The XDK creates a standard Cordova app.
