How to disable multiple webview in cordova?












0














I am using cordova to build an Android app. It renders all UI inside a webview. It works fine until I implemented OAuth2 login (azure). When doing azure login, it will redirect the app to browser to open the login page. After that it will go back to my app with a token. In order to allow other app to open my app, I use Custom-URL-scheme cordova plugin in my app to add a custom url scheme like below:



<plugin name="cordova-plugin-customurlscheme" spec="^4.3.0">
<variable name="URL_SCHEME" value="myapp" />
</plugin>


when I do the oauth2 login, I added a redirect url myapp:// in the request so it will go back to my app after oauth2 authentication.



The problem I have is when it goes back to my app, it creates a new webview in my cordova application instead of using the previous one. Is there a way for me to force only one webview can be used?
