Dosen't work on Android

[rdiegoss]

Hello everyone, I'm using the Browser.open and Browser.openWebView method to open a web page and I need that when I change the URL I can get the value of the modified URL.

In IOS the command browser.open and adding the browser.addListener('urlChangedEvent', callback) works perfectly, however in Android, it does not work. It simply doesn't detect the URL change.

I tried using browser.openWebView, it detects when I open the web page, but it doesn't detect when the URL changes. using the same browser.addListener('urlChangedEvent', callback) event. Could you help me with this, please?

Hello @rdiegoss i do have this plugin in use in some apps and that have work until now, can you provide a reproduction repo, that will allow me to fix your issue in 5 min i'm sure !

I have the exact same issue after a fresh install. I'm building for SDK 32 with version 33 and I'm testing on Android 13. Maybe the feature is broken by the new SDK versions?

I've been able to get urlChangeEvent working only by using openWebView(). open() opens a standard browser that doesn't support this kind of event.

Hello by using openWebView does not promt me to give permissions to open camera. by using .open() i am able to open camera. Is there a way to make it work on .openwebview too? thanks

@atsavos i'm not sure why that doesn't work with openWebView maybe the webview has different rules. You can try to request the permission before open the webview.

Hey @atsavos i think i found why the camera was not prompting, can you look again with the latest version ?

[atsavos]

Hello @riderx thank you for your response. I will check it and report back the results.

Hello again @riderx , I have tried it with ios and android. on ios asks for camera permission and i can use it but on android still don't ask me for permission and i cannot use the camera. I saw your change and may i suggest if you should give permission for camera in webview settings?

[riderx]

@atsavos can you try to add this permission in the android manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.webkit.PermissionRequest" />

This should allow the webview to ask

@atsavos can you try to add this permission in the android manifest:

  <uses-permission android:name="android.webkit.PermissionRequest" />

This should allow the webview to ask

I tried your suggestion @riderx but no luck. I can see the page but no prompt for camera permission. A small reminder that i user .openWebView as i need the urlChangeEvent. on .open works the prompt for camera but not the event.

[riderx]

i did used openWebView in my test as well, did you removed the app from the phone before trying ?

[riderx]

Ok depending of the Android phone the error wasn't the same ! I make a new change in 1.2.19 this was way harder to do : "android.webkit.PermissionRequest" seem not required anymore.

Thank you for your reply @riderx. I will test it again and i will return with my feedback
