Cordova InAppBrowser - How To Disable URL And Navigation Bar?


Answer :

To remove the URL, just set the 'location' option to "no".



var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=no');


On Android, this removes the 'Back/Forward' buttons, URL and 'Done' button, not just the URL, but thankfully there’s a special Android-only ‘hideurlbar’ option to remove ONLY the URL.



var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', ‘hideurlbar=yes’);


The 'Done' button text can be changed by adding a 'closebuttoncaption' option.

(Now works on Android if using InAppBrowser plugin v2.0.2 or above.)



var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'closebuttoncaption=My Button Name');


On iOS, the toolbar can be removed by setting the 'toolbar' option to "no".



var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'toolbar=no');


However, removing the toolbar means both the 'Back/Forward' buttons AND the 'Done' button will no longer show. This makes it difficult to exit out of the InAppBrowser.



(Exiting the InAppBrowser is less of an issue on Android, since the system back button provides an alternative exit method if the 'Done' button is not showing.)



If you want to keep the 'Done' button, but get rid of the 'Back/Forward' buttons, set the 'hidenavigationbuttons' option to 'yes' (requires InAppBrowser plugin v3.0.0 or above).



var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'hidenavigationbuttons=yes');


For older plugin versions, you can manually remove the 'Back/Forwards' buttons in ALL of your InAppBrowsers by modifying source code for the InAppBrowser plugin as follows.





For iOS, open the following file



YOURAPPNAME/platforms/ios/YOURAPPNAME/Plugins/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/CDVInAppBrowser.m


and change the following line of code from:



[self.toolbar setItems:@[self.closeButton, flexibleSpaceButton, self.backButton, fixedSpaceButton, self.forwardButton]];


to:



[self.toolbar setItems:@[self.closeButton, flexibleSpaceButton]];


Then build your project again using the command line.





For Android, open the following file



YOURAPPNAME/platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova/inappbrowser/InAppBrowser.java


and remove the following line of code:



toolbar.addView(actionButtonContainer);


To also remove the URL, delete the following line of code too:



toolbar.addView(edittext);


Then build your project again using the command line.





Thanks to danw and Vishwani for helpful answers. Tested Apr 2018 with Cordova 8.0.0, Cordova iOS 4.5.4, Cordova Android 7.1.0 and cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 3.0.0



In 3.1.0(?) you can hide the toolbar using the 'toolbar' option.



For example:



ref = window.open('http://some.page/foo/', '_blank', 'location=no,toolbar=no');


see: phonegap docs



window.open('http://url/', '_blank', 'location=no,toolbar=no');


location: Set to yes or no to turn the InAppBrowser's location bar on or off.



toolbar: set to yes or no to turn the toolbar on or off for the InAppBrowser (defaults to yes). This seams to be ios only though

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
