Unable to open app from inappbrowser and from php

[Sea-Eagle]

I have followed instructions as mentioned here and (http://mcgivery.com/using-custom-url-schemes-ionic-framework-app/)

but when I try to open app from in app browser plugin window.open = cordova.InAppBrowser.open; var inAppBrowserRef = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('ionicapp://', '_blank', 'location=yes'); It is giving error that "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME"

even I tried from browser still not opening (open the browser and in the address bar i have pasted "ionicapp://")

I am also getting an "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME" error from the InAppBrowser. This only occurs in Android. iOS works as expected.

cordova cli version: 7.1.0 customUrlScheme plugin version: ^4.3.0 inAppBrowser plugin version: ^1.7.1

Hello,

exactly the same problem

if window is opened with system browser (chrome for example), the app is well launched with url_scheme myapp:// but if window is opened with cordova inappbrowser, app is not re-opened, and i have an error in the webview : "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME"

Has someone fixed this problem ? @EddyVerbruggen , any idea ?

thanks !

Add your app uri scheme under InAppBrowserClient in your cordova “InAppBrowser.java” file.

@Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url) {

 if( url.startsWith("yourapp:") {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                    intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                    cordova.getActivity().startActivity(intent);
                    return true;
                }

Perfect! Worked ! just added one parenthesis for if. Thanks, @ankitch01

if( url.startsWith("yourapp:") ){
                   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                   intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                   cordova.getActivity().startActivity(intent);
                   return true;
               }

                   return true;
               }

Could you please put the line of inappbrowser.java that need to modify? Thanks
