cordova - PhoneGap InAppBrowser: open iOS Safari Browser -

in our phonegap ios application, using inappbrowser plugin display content, , need open page in safari within inappbrowser.

how can have links within inappbrowser open in safari?

from phonegap documentation:

opens url in new inappbrowser instance, current browser instance, or system browser.

var ref = window.open(url, target, options); 

• ref: reference inappbrowser window. (inappbrowser)
• url: url load (string). call encodeuri() on if url contains unicode characters.

• target: target in load url, optional parameter defaults _self. (string)

  • _self: opens in cordova webview if url in white list, otherwise opens in inappbrowser.
  • _blank: opens in inappbrowser.
  • _system: opens in system's web browser.

so answer question, use:

window.open(your_url, '_system', opts); 

note domain need white-listed.

i think kind of misunderstood question (thanks commenter @peteorpeter) -- want have way click link in inappbrowser , have open in system browser (e.g. mobile safari on ios). possible, require forethought , cooperation between app developer , person responsible links on page.

when create iab instance, reference back:

var ref = window.open('http://foo.com', '_blank', {...}); 

you can register few event listeners on reference:

ref.addeventlistener('loadstart', function(event){ ... }); 

this particular event fired every time url of iab changes (e.g. link clicked, server returns 302, etc...), , can inspect new url.

to break out system browser, need sort of flag defined in url. number of things, example let's assume there's systembrowser flag in url:

.....html?foo=1&systembrowser=true

you'll flag in event handler, , when found, kick out system browser:

ref.addeventlistener('loadstart', function(event){     if (event.url.indexof('systembrowser') > 0){         window.open(event.url, '_system', null);     } }); 

note not best method detecting flag in url (could lead false positives, possibly) , i'm pretty sure phonegap whitelist rules still apply.
