Simple Cordova plugin to stop Android Cordova apps from launching other applications through URL navigation.
Just install it; the plugin will intercept and block navigation to URLs which are not covered by the Cordova Whitelist. This blocks the default Cordova behaviour, which is to launch external applications for links to sms:, tel:, geo:, mailto:, market:, and intent: URLs, among others.
This plugin only affects Android Cordova applications. It does nothing when installed in other platforms.
