cordova inappbrowser exit event not firing in windows phone 8.1

[Sam_Deepak]

Hi,

I am unable to capture cordova plugin inappbrowser's exit event in windows phoone 8.x builds.

This the code I am using

 ref.addEventListener("exit", function (e) {

        setTimeout(function () {
            if (callback)
                callback();
        }, 100);
    });

    alert('calling close for proxy');
ref.close();

Please help me resolve this problem.

Hi Guys,

For that one I recommend you search StackOverflow, etc. for something like "cordova phonegap unable to capture exit event for inappbrowser on windows phone" -- we don't have much experience yet with the new Windows Phone webview... Also, have you confirmed that your code works on Android and/or iOS for reference?

Hi Paul, It is working on Android. For windows , what happens is, when you open a inappbrowser window instance , if you close it manually , the exit event is fired. But when you programmatically call close method on the instance, it does fire an event but it closes. So since I wanted to call back a function on closing it programmatically, I just removed exit event listener and call back after calling close method since the browser is closed technically but just that it did not notify exit event. But I just need to go back to the call back method after closing it, I depended on exit event. But now after my experiment , I came to know that it just closed always , but not firing exit event when closed programmatically. So I just called close method and went back to the callback after a timeout of 100 milliseconds which is fine with me. I guess the problem is with the plugin itself , which is not in my scope. Surprisingly, I searched completely internet, I could not find a single resolution for this. I guess cordova team should fix it for Windows phone. Let me know if you find any resolution for it.

Yes, sounds like it's a bug in the inAppBrowser plugin for Windows. You might also check to see if there is a newer version of it that you can try with the Windows platform, our feed is not be up-to-date with the versions on that one, I see that there is now a version 1.2.0 for that as of four days ago (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/blob/master/RELEASENOTES.md). You can try the later version by using the third-party plugin add feature, rather than the cordova list.

Hi Paul,

I am using the latest version only. But I just left it, since the inappborwser closes any way, but just that it does not raise the exit event,
