Cordova inAppBrowser Hide / Show in Java Android

I am working with Cordova and the inAppBrowser plugin for Android

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

I am trying to control the hardware back button for Android in Java file

InAppBrowserDialog.java

    public void onBackPressed() {
    if (this.inAppBrowser == null) {
        this.dismiss();
    } else {
        if (this.inAppBrowser.hardwareBack() && this.inAppBrowser.canGoBack()) {
            // this.inAppBrowser.goBack();
        } else {
            // this.inAppBrowser.closeDialog();
        }
    }
}

}

I do not want it to "goBack" or "closeDialog", I want it to "hide", like you can call it on the Cordova Javascript side

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser#inappbrowserhide

ref.hide();

Hide is ideal so I can call .show if I want without loading the entire page, which is what would happen if I just closed it.

I am looking for a Java command such as

 this.inAppBrowser.hide();

But I can't seem to find it.

====== UPDATE ====================

So the Java code linked to the Codrova .hide Javascript is here

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/blob/8bdbd18d1619e25cf8bdedadf6448ef40b21ea7c/src/android/InAppBrowser.java#L329-L341

        else if (action.equals("hide")) {
        this.cordova.getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if (dialog != null && !cordova.getActivity().isFinishing()) {
                    dialog.hide();
                }
            }
        });
        PluginResult pluginResult = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK);
        pluginResult.setKeepCallback(true);
        this.callbackContext.sendPluginResult(pluginResult);
    }

I just can't figure out how to call this Java function from the Java back button function.
