Phonegap Android: how to close base app on ChildBrowser exit callback

Question

I have created a Phonegap Android app which shows a welcome page then opens a ChildBrowser window. I want my app to close when the user clicks the "exit" button of the ChildBrowser. I am binding the onClose event to a function, but it gives a call to that function just after it loads, so I am not able to see the ChildBrowser window. It exits before that. Below is my code:

<script>
var cb = new ChildBrowser();
cb.onClose = onCloseBrowser();
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
  function onDeviceReady() {
    try {
      cb.showWebPage('http://www.google.com/',{ showLocationBar: true });
    }catch (err){
      console.log(err);
    }
  }
  function onCloseBrowser() {
    //alert("I am here");
    navigator.app.exitApp();
  }
</script>

You need to omit the () when you set your cb.onClose handler. If you don't the method will be executed immediately. So do:

cb.onClose = onCloseBrowser;
