External images in the Ionic default tab template won’t load in the emulator and on the device

The tab app template in Ionic contains a few external images, and they won't load when I open the app in my Android emulator or my Nexus 5. Both the device and the emulatir do have internet connection and I can load these images manually in the browser.

It works OK in the browser (ionic serve).

That is:

ionic start myApp tabs
cd myApp
ionic serve # OK
ionic platform add android
ionic build android
ionic emulate android # Images are not loaded
ionic run android # Images are not loaded

ionic serve:

Android emulator (Nexus 5):

ionic 1.3.22 cordova 5.0.0

What I am missing?

Here is the solution:

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-whitelist

External resources won't load without it.

As joeri said:

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-whitelist

will fix the issue, Here is the api link to explain how it works. plugin API

in my cordova config.xml file I have

<access origin="*"/>

doing this Doesn't block any requests

The API explaination has a few more options if you want to restrict it more, here
