Right now, no – there is no way to hide the bar. We have an issue filed to implement it: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2412

My apologies if I’m missing something obvious, but I’m a bit new to phonegap. . .

I’m using the inappbrowser with great success. The target is set to _self, since I don’t want the control bar at the bottom of the screen. Of course, I lose all my lovely JavaScript and such at that point. I want the content from an external source to take over the screen, but I still want to be able to check to see if I lose network connections. Sadly, I have to take the HTML as is from the external location.

Question: is there any way to display the external page without the nav bar at the bottom of the screen and still be able to respond to events (page load, network status, etc)?

I’m also having issues with LoadStart. It fires on sub-page loads such as ad-networks which I don’t want. I miss the onLocationChange from ChildBrowser as well. loadstop doesn’t work for me as the user may click away prior to the page fully loading.

I also tried rolling back to ChildBrowser but can’t get it to load in the new Cordova 2.6 stack (at least with my require.js setup).

onlocationchange? Did you try http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.5.0/cordova_inappbrowser_inappbrowser.md.html#addEventListener loadstart/loadstop events as I suggested before?

Hi, use either the loadstart or loadstop events: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.5.0/cordova_inappbrowser_inappbrowser.md.html#addEventListener

Yup, it should work for local files (relative to www), at least I know it does work on iOS.
