Hello @Jeremy Kuang ,

You can't achieve this directly, but by customizing the plugin, you can add your own logic and additional operations to capture the URL.

example:

var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://example.com', '_blank', 'location=yes');
ref.addEventListener('loadstart', function(event) {
    console.log("New URL: " + event.url);
});

Hi,

Please refer the below link,

Hi,

I have the same pain.

We have to patch plugin to support this. Have no idea why OS published this plugin without such built-in functionality.

I'll work on this now.

Hello @Jeremy Kuang 

Use the below JS code to get the Current URL of the page instead of calling the open action, use this JS code.

1. cordova.InAppBrowser.open ("https://example.com", "", "");
2. cordova.InAppBrowser.Events.LoadStart = function(event) {
3.     console.log("Current URL: " + event.url);
4. };

inside the LoadStart event function, you can do what you want, like call another client action with the URL input parameter that does the work you want to do .

@Gourav Shrivastava it works with prev version of InAppBrowser.
The latest version of InAppBrowser  plugin has fully different implementation and doesn't return browser object. You can see that in source of plugin.

Yes @Stanislav Ploschansky  ,

@Jeremy Kuang  in this case, please use this code for getting URL 

1. var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://example.com', '_blank', 'location=yes');
2. ref.addEventListener('loadstop', function() {

       ref.executeScript(

           { code: 'window.location.href;' },

           function(values) {

               var currentUrl = values[0];

               console.log('Current URL:', currentUrl);

               // You can now use the currentUrl variable as needed

           }

       );

   });

If you need reference, you can also check out this Documentation.

Thanks

@Gourav Shrivastava , your comments related to PREVIOUS version of plugin which available via

> cordova.InAppBrowser. 

The new version of plugin uses https://github.com/OutSystems/cordova-outsystems-inappbrowser and there plugin injected differently and implemented FULLY DIFFERENTLY

> cordova.plugins.OSInAppBrowser

Look for example here https://github.com/OutSystems/cordova-outsystems-inappbrowser/blob/main/src/www/web.ts and you will see Open* functions doesn't return browser object like previous version of plugin.
