Open another URL on same InAppBrowser instance

Question

I use PhoneGap InAppBrowser to open a URL. After an event is triggered I use a Javascript function to show a barcode scanner on the top. The barcode scanner then opens another URL to the same (_self) InAppBrowser instance. Problem is that, if I login on the before scanning on that URL, the session does not appear to work after scanning, which means that I have to log in again. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Put the var in a place that is accessible by your method that re-loads the InAppBroswer.

then use

browserVar.show();
browserVar.location = 'new location';
