Capacitor: Browser addListener not working

[kogutu]

Hello I have problem I test Capacitor on my App and I want run browser and use addListner to observe change url.

I have this code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicPage, NavController, NavParams, ModalController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { Browser } = Plugins;

export class HomePage {
constructor(){

  Browser.addListener("browserFinished", (info: any) => {
    console.log(info.url);
  })

}
  async openWebpage(url: string) {
    await   Plugins.Browser.open({ url: 'http://capacitor.ionicframework.com/' });
}
}

When I pushed the button, Browser Start but addListener don't give me event with console.log.

Please tell me what is wrong.

Ionic 4.10.3 but project is created on ionic 3
Cordova 8.1.2 ([email protected])

You can't observe the url change in Browser plugin
I've added browserPageLoaded implementation for Android, but it only tells you it finished loading, not the url. https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/pull/1293
browserFinished is for when you close the browser, not for when the navigation finishes, but it's not possible to know on Android, so going to close the issue.

Hello Ionic Team,

Browser Plugin with event browserPageLoaded doesn't give the url or info about the page has been loaded.

How to check if a specific route has been loaded?

I use this to check if the user finished payment and it redirected to a specific success page so then I close the browser.

It was working in cordova plugin "In App Browser".

Should I user the cordova "In App Browser" plugin instead??

This is such a fundamental missing thing from Capacitor - for example when you need to take the user to a site to perform some action and then help them return to the app when completed.
The inappbrowser in cordova was very widely used to support this.
I understand why you keep closing the ticket because it is an inconvenience to incorporate a non-chrome based browser, but this is such a pain in the *ss for so many of us, for so long, it is really hindering the uptake of capacitor.
A plea to the Ionicframework folks: make @ionic-enterprise/inappbrowser available to all!
