I would like to know how can I open an url in the app context of embed webview. Currently this demo will open a new tab in external browser, so, not what I am expected. I am using google.com just for testing.

Summary, I am looking for a functional demo.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!-- config.xml reference: https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml -->
<widget xmlns     = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
        xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
        xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        id        = "com.xxx.xxxxx"
        version   = "1.0.0">

    <preference name="stay-in-webview" value="true" />

    <access origin="*" browserOnly="true" subdomains="true" />

    <content src="index.html" />

    <allow-navigation href="https://google.com/*" />

    <gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" source="npm" version="~1" />
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" />
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.splashscreen" />

    <preference name="phonegap-version"           value="cli-5.4.1" />
    <preference name="permissions"                value="none"/>
    <preference name="target-device"              value="universal"/>
    <preference name="fullscreen"                 value="true"/>

</widget>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
                document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

                function onDeviceReady() {
                    window.location.href = 'https://google.com';
                }
            </script>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

try :

window.open('https://google.com', '_self ', 'location=yes');

instead of :

window.location.href = 'https://google.com';

This will use the InAppBrowser, and use _self as target.
