How to return to app from mailto link

I have a mailto link on an image that runs javascript, and when I use it, I can send emails and it works perfectly. However, after the email is sent, I do not return to the app. Is there a way to do this? I've tried using childBrowser, but the link does not work. I've also tried using the Navigate to Link option with open in new browser set to true, and the link will open, but it doesn't return me to the app (and when I go back to the app, a blank childBrowser window is open). Any ideas?

Thanks.

How to return to app from mailto link

Hi Robert,

What is your target device platform?
I think in the latest versions of PhoneGap uses inAppBrowser (childBrowser is deprecated).

How to return to app from mailto link

I am using library v2.2 with Cordova 3.7.
My syntax is:

var ref = window.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=yes');

Still getting the same behavior like Robert described above.

Do I miss something?
Is there a workaround for this?

Hi Bernie,

Unfortunatly you can not control behavior after you send command to send email..
It's only OS functionality and logic.
