Cordova-second-webview not working

[cwkerk]

I try to use "cordova-second-webview" plugin to create extra page for new webview by code below:

mainApp.browseWeb = function(address){
if(navigator.connection.type != Connection.NONE){
var browseWebView = new webview();
browseWebView.Show("https://angularjs.org","_blank", function(){alert("WebView Success");}, function(){alert("WebView Failure");}, true);
this.WebViews.push(browseWebView);
alert('The web view is created');
}
else alert('Browse error : No network connection');
}

However, I don't get it work even to open a webview. May I know why and how to fix it?

Hi @cwkerk.
The "Show" method only accepts 4 parameters like this:
webview.Show(YOUR_URL [string], SUCCESS_FUNCTION [function], ERROR_FUNCTION [function], SHOULD_SHOW_LOADING [boolean]);

Best regards!

Thank you for reply.
However, after I change into "browseWebView.Show("https://angularjs.org",function(){alert("WebView Success");}, function(){alert("WebView Failure");}, true);", it still not working

I wonder why the following code doesn't work:

mainApp.browseWeb = function(address){
if(navigator.connection.type != Connection.NONE){
var browseWebView = new webview();
browseWebView.Show(address, function(){alert("WebView Success");}, function(){alert("WebView Failure");}, true);
alert('The web view is created');
}
else alert('Browse error : No network connection');
}

What operating system did you try your code?
The mainApp.browseWeb is called in your code?

iphone 6s plus.
May I know is this plugin work for all ios version?

[sebalagos90]

We use it daily and we don't have issues.
Please let me check it out

[cwkerk]

May I have our example code for this plugin?
Just for reference, maybe I may find the bug with that help.

I did create a new ionic project and wrote the following code:
$scope.click = function(){
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function(){
webview.Show('http://www.google.cl', function(){alert("WebView Success");}, function(){alert("WebView Failure");}, true);
}, false);
};
With or without device ready event works fine.

I see.
I wonder if this plugin only works with ionic framework?
I didn't use it since it is quite heavy to build app in my macbook.

@cwkerk
It should work with any framework.
If you checkout the js code, you can see that there isnt references to any framework.

Maybe your problem is your are constructing a webview object, but webview class only has static methods

Look at @sebalagos90 code. It uses webview.Show() directly.
But in your code:

var browseWebView = new webview();  
browseWebView.Show(address, function(){alert("WebView Success");}, function(){alert("WebView Failure");}, true);

By the way, how can I make multiple webviews using this plugin?

[arturokunder]

@cwkerk you can make multiple webviews on iOS but not in Android
In order to make it work on Android, you will need to change the code a little because there are some static variables as described in #3
