As stated on the ionic docs you can use this themeablebrowser which is same as the cordova themeablebrowser you are trying to use.
Here is the working code snippet:
In home.html file:
<ion-header>
<ion-navbar>
<ion-title>
Ionic Blank
</ion-title>
</ion-navbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content>
<button ion-button (click)="test()">Test browser</button>
</ion-content>
In home.ts file:
import { Component } from '#angular/core';
import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { InAppBrowser } from '#ionic-native';
import { ThemeableBrowser, ThemeableBrowserOptions, ThemeableBrowserObject } from '#ionic-native/themeable-browser';
#Component({
selector: 'page-home',
templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, private themeableBrowser: ThemeableBrowser) {
}
test() {
const options: ThemeableBrowserOptions = {
statusbar: {
color: '#ffffffff'
},
toolbar: {
height: 44,
color: '#f0f0f0ff'
},
title: {
color: '#003264ff',
showPageTitle: true
},
backButton: {
image: 'back',
imagePressed: 'back_pressed',
align: 'left',
event: 'backPressed'
},
forwardButton: {
image: 'forward',
imagePressed: 'forward_pressed',
align: 'left',
event: 'forwardPressed'
},
closeButton: {
image: 'close',
imagePressed: 'close_pressed',
align: 'left',
event: 'closePressed'
},
customButtons: [
{
image: 'share',
imagePressed: 'share_pressed',
align: 'right',
event: 'sharePressed'
}
],
menu: {
image: 'menu',
imagePressed: 'menu_pressed',
title: 'Test',
cancel: 'Cancel',
align: 'right',
items: [
{
event: 'helloPressed',
label: 'Hello World!'
},
{
event: 'testPressed',
label: 'Test!'
}
]
},
backButtonCanClose: true
};
const browser: ThemeableBrowserObject = this.themeableBrowser.create('https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf', '_blank', options);
}
}
And in app.module.ts file add ThemeableBrowser from #ionic-native/themeable-browser to the providers.
After adding your app.module.ts file should look like:
import { BrowserModule } from '#angular/platform-browser';
import { ErrorHandler, NgModule } from '#angular/core';
import { IonicApp, IonicErrorHandler, IonicModule } from 'ionic-angular';
import { SplashScreen } from '#ionic-native/splash-screen';
import { StatusBar } from '#ionic-native/status-bar';
import { ThemeableBrowser } from '#ionic-native/themeable-browser';
import { MyApp } from './app.component';
import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';
#NgModule({
declarations: [
MyApp,
HomePage
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
],
bootstrap: [IonicApp],
entryComponents: [
MyApp,
HomePage
],
providers: [
StatusBar,
SplashScreen,
ThemeableBrowser,
{provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}
]
})
export class AppModule {}
Thats all the additions you need in your started ionic app for your themeable browser to work.
Tested it on android emulator.
