android - InAppBrowser not closing? -

i'm using inappbrowser plugin (v1.1.1) cordova oauth login process. unfortunately, inappbrowser doesn't appear closing browser. "closebrowser" function instead continually triggers interval, , browser remains on-screen on android (i have not tried other devices @ time.)

is there way forcibly close inappbrowser other .close(), or hide it? or maybe there's flaw in code somewhere locking browser.

loginpage.prototype.handleexternallogin = function (externallogin) {     var _this = this;      var ref = window.open(environment_1.settings.baseurl + externallogin.route.url, "_blank", "location=no");     ref.addeventlistener('loadstart', function (event) {         if (_.startswith(event.url, environment_1.settings.baseurl + "/api/account/account/externallogincallback")) {             // want load different url give mobile access token             console.log('get external-mobile-token');             _this.closebrowser(ref);              var ref2 = window.open(environment_1.settings.baseurl + "/api/account/external-mobile-token", "_blank" /*, "location=no"*/);              ref2.addeventlistener('loadstop', function (event) {                 console.log('loadstop ' + event.url);                 if (event.url == environment_1.settings.baseurl + "/api/account/external-mobile-token") {                     ref2.executescript({ code: 'window.document.documentelement.innertext' }, function (contents) {                         _this.login(contents);                         _this.closebrowser(ref2);                     });                 }             });              ref2.addeventlistener('loaderror', function (event) {                 console.log(event);                 _this.closebrowser(ref2);                 // todo - something?             });         }     });      ref.addeventlistener('loaderror', function (event) {         console.log(event);         _this.closebrowser(ref);         // todo - something?     }); };  loginpage.prototype.closebrowser = function (browser) {     var interval = setinterval(function () {         console.log('closing');         browser.close();     }, 10);      browser.addeventlistener('exit', function () {         console.log('closed');         clearinterval(interval);     }); };  loginpage.prototype.login = function (token) {     console.log(token); }; 

the above code generated typescript, figured wouldn't confuse issue.

it appears closing inappbrowser , opening @ same time causing issue; rewriting process need 1 window solved issue.
