Cordova : Open A Link Using Google Chrome

I would like to open a link using Google Chrome (not another browser) from my Cordova application. I tried several solutions but nothing works. First, I tried to create a link to g

Solution 1:

You can use cordova-plugin-inappbrowser with _system as target:

cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://stackoverflow.com', '_system', 'location=yes');

Or you can use cordova-plugin-webintent2 (don't know if this is the same you are using), like this:

window.plugins.webintent.startActivity({
        action: window.plugins.webintent.ACTION_VIEW,
        url:  "googlechrome://navigate?url=http://www.stackoverflow.com"
    },
    function() {},
    function() {
        alert('Failed to open URL via Android Intent.');
      console.log("Failed to open URL via Android Intent.")
    });

The url must start with http or https, it does not allow relative urls.

Solution 2:

I finally found the solution. I just had to create a link like this one :

<ahref="googlechrome://navigate?url=https://my.url.com/"></a>
