Feature Request
New option to keep event receiver when a new URL is loaded on webview
Motivation Behind Feature
If you load a different URL on Cordova Webview, the onPause() and onDestroy() methods of NetworkManager are called in PluginManager.init() and the event receiver is removed . The event listener is not recovered with onResume() as the plugin has not the 'onload' flag set to true (if you force it on config.xml the notifications still do not work). This behavior is problematic if your application loads several URLs during its life-cycle.
Feature Description
A new option to customize this behavior.
Alternatives or Workarounds
I found no workarounds without changing the plugi's source code.
This may not be an ideal workaround with a large existing app but a potential workaround is to adopt a SPA-style design in your application, which is recommended for a number of different reasons.
Hi @breautek, thank you for the advise. Our app loads our website frontend and uses its responsive mode to fill the webview, but we also have secondary pages included in the app for scenarios like having no internet connection. The main page is SPA, but the transitions to the bundled pages were our issue. We ended up creating a plugin of our own, as the changes we have done were a bit out of scope of this plugin.
