cordova: external browser opened for content src

Question

I'm building an very simple cordova app to do one thing: open an web url with the webview.

So I made the following change in config.xml

<content src="http://www.whatever.com">

It works fine with iOS emulator. Then I tried to build with build.phonegap.com. Installed resulting APK on my phone. But when running the application, it asks me to pick an external browser straight away.

What went wrong?

Answer 1

I've played around a bit, and at least for google, adding the following to the access-origin helped:

<access origin="*" launch-external="no"/>

Perhaps this helps for you, however, I still have the issue for my own site :(

Edit In addition, these have solved my problem:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="1" />
<access origin="*" launch-external="no"/>
<allow-navigation href="http://*/*" />
<allow-navigation href="https://*/*" />

(The whitelist-plugin was installed automatically for me when I used the command line "cordova create")
