Load remote index.html with Cordova

I want to render a remote HTML page when my Cordova app starts, instead of "./index.html"

Tried this in config.xml

<content src="http://example.com/index.html" />
<access origin="*" />

And also tried placing this into ./index.html

window.location.href = 'http://example.com/index.html';

Both load a blank white screen when I start the app. Got no errors in the device log. Using Cordova version 5.3.3.

Any ideas?

You can change the loadUrl statement in the native code e.g. in Android, you need to find MainActivity.java under platforms/android/src....

I myself am currently looking for a way to do this from index.html (to display for e.g. a loading screen / error message in case of network issues).

I believe I had tried using window.location.href but that simply opened the browser to the specified URL. I want it to open up in the app's WebView of course.

If you want to use <access origin="*" /> you need to add this meta tag to your html page(s) in your cordova app:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="*">

I hope this helps you!

In your index.html page, you can write windows.onload() function inside this write redirect to this http://example.com/index.html
