I am learning to use cordova and i have been just doing a normal install of android platform in my cordova application, everything worked fine except for some errors i don't intent to fix just yet (which are external resource files loaded from javascript). I just installed phonegap-plugin-push for working on a push notification support, i believe i have to first register the device on which the notification should be recieved so i ran the app without any other configuration rather than downloading the libraries and putting the google-services.json file at the root application folder.
I try to find the commands for pushing but i am unabled to do so and i think it might be because of an error thrown in the console
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND /cordova_plugins.js
so i have been searching on google and i have found that i don't need to add anything but cordova.js as i have already done upon cordova application installation in order to work with cordova features.
I don't know if i have to add something else or if i am missing some code in order to make this plugin work, probably this plugin is not compatible with cordova but phonegap is built over cordova so i don't know.
in case it is necessary, this are the versions i am using:
Cordova-CLI: 7.1.0
Google Play Services: 46
Android support repository: 47
Android SDK: 26
I failed to say that the application running in cordova is done with angular and angular-ui-router.
After long hours of testing i've found out that the problem is caused by angular-ui-router, because i was using angular-ui-router i have set a <base href> tag in the head tag which is what is making cordova to fail, this is now actually how cordova is intended to work, it is because of how the files are placed. On android the files are placed in android_asset/www/, i don't know how the files are placed in other platforms, but when <base href> tag is set with a new value then the calls are now trying to be done in a directory where the files are not placed.
The solution in angular is to not set a <base href> tag and disable html5Mode in the config
app.config(["$stateProvider", "$locationProvider", "$urlRouterProvider",
function($stateProvider, $locationProvider, $urlRouterProvider){
// Set the default url state
// NOTE: Do not set <base href> tag, this breaks cordova calls
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/");
// Disable html5 native router mode
$locationProvider.html5Mode(false);
......
}
]);
I've realized this because in chrome device remote inspector i was getting error calls to wrong directories, by looking at the url where the application is running i saw that the calls were not in the proper directory

I want to wrap a react based web app which gets build using webpack in a
cordova container for an Android device. I successfully built the
cordova app for iOS and everything worked fine. However, when building
for android, static resources like images and fonts that are required in
javascript using webpack's file-loader, aren't loaded correctly.
The web view tries to load all resources like an image from
file:///android_asset/www/build/myImage.png, but logs a file not found
error. If I link - for example - the same image directly in the
index.html via an image tag, the image is loaded correctly, but changing
the publicPath attribute in my webpack config file didn't work.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance
My brute force solution:
Pre-React Build: add "homepage": "./", to app’s package.json.
Post-React Build, and Pre-Cordova Run Android: in www/static/js, find/replace “static/media” with “android_asset/www/static/media” for all image/pdf files in the main###.js file (not the .map file).
My solution was to add "homepage": "/android_asset/www/" to package.json, it works perfectly with dynamic paths,
I am new to all of this, so I am probably missing something pretty obvious, but I am trying to change the userAgent string in an application I am building with Cordova. Based upon the documentation at the Cordova website, it would appear that I should only need to add the following to my config.xml file:
preference name="OverrideUserAgent" value="My string value here"
So I included this line in my config.xml and then added this code to my javascript in my cordova app:
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
alert(ua);
I then build the project and install it on my android phone. However, when I run the app I get the same userAgent reported back by my alert regardless of whether I included preference name="OverrideUserAgent" value="My string value here" in the config.xml or not. I am using version 5 of Cordova (5.3.1 I believe) and this config.xml fix was listed in the documentation for version 5.1.1 on the Cordova website.
I have also seen another possible fix on stackoverflow in the following post:
Change PhoneGap / Cordova User-Agent for AJAX
Specifically I am looking at the response that recommends:
put this in your onCreate method: (after super.init();)
super.appView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Your own agent string");
I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but how to I carry this out? Is it possible to do this while still using the Cordova CLI or do I need to import the project into Android studio first? Where exactly do I find the onCreate method that I need to modify.
Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.
I'm porting a Phonegap 2.7 application to Phonegap 3. The application is hosted, so phonegap loads an external url instead of a local html. This hosted webapp loads cordoba.js, however I'm unable to use plugins such as splashscreen and notifications from the hosted webapp:
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
// Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'hide' of undefined
navigator.notification.vibrate(500);
// Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'vibrate' of undefined
The hosted application required the same Cordova file that was included when I created the Phonegap 3 project. Why am I unable to use this API's? This worked fine on Phonegap 2.7.
UPDATE: Events are triggered correctly:
document.addEventListener('deviceready', callback, false);
callback is correctly called, so there is some kind of cordova interaction already. Problem seems plugins.
Call the plugin directly with cordova.exec. it goes like this:
cordova.exec(function(response){}, function(errorText){}, "PluginName", "method", []) ;
Cordova exec()!
I wonder if your cordova.js file just doesn't have the navigator.splashscreen object. In Cordova 3.0, all of the plugins were separated out, and the cordova.js file just became the bridge code. When the app runs, it loads all of the plugin .js files via ajax - see the cordova_plugins.js file in a built project. As it loads these files, Cordova will fix up the namespaces for you, so that navigator.splashscreen namespace actually maps to the splashscreen js code. I'm betting you are not loading this cordova_plugins.js file which means the clobbering isn't working.
It's still working because the bridge code works. When you use exec() you're just running the command that navigator.splashscreen.hide does: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/blob/master/www/splashscreen.js#L26
If I were you, I'd try to rebuild the app the new Cordova 3.x way, with the cordova cli. That way you won't have to actually call the exec function manually which seems pretty brittle (the exec() probably won't change, but it seems like a pain looking up the exec calls for every plugin interaction you need.)
BTW I'm not sergio on irc, so feel free to give him the answer if he posts since he answered your question first. I'm just trying to explain why that happens and why it doens't work for you anymore - basically, 2.7 and 3.x are pretty different in terms of plugins.
We are using Phonegap 3.1.0-0.15.0 and the application chocked when trying to access location information.
Works fine in iOS however the App chock on Android
We are using:
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(app.location.onSuccess, app.location.onError);
and we also tried:
var geo = cordova.require('cordova/plugin/geolocation');
geo.getCurrentPosition(app.location.onSuccess, app.location.onError);
The logcat mentioned the following:
Could not find cordova.js script tag. Plugin loading may fail. at file:///android_asset/www/phonegap.js:1511
Uncaught module cordova/plugin/geolocation not found at file:///android_asset/www/phonegap.js:56
The plugin was added using:
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-geolocation.git
Are we doing something wrong ?
Thank you in advance

Just to answer my own questions. I removed all the plugins manually and then add them (including the problematic geolocation plugin) using the following command:
phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-geolocation.git
That solved my issue.

I'm facing a problem and would really appreciate your help...
Android SDK: 4.0
Phonegap: 1.8.1
Pusher: 1.12
I have created an Android project using Phonegap that needs to receive server notifications through Pusher.
I'm running it in Eclipse and AVD emulator, but the problem is that every time I try to establish a connection to pusher, I get an Unavailable state from the bind to state_change.
I have tested the connection to Internet in the emulator browser and it works fine. I have also tested that the server is responding and that the Pusher key is the right one by testing my code on Firefox.
This are the steps I have followed:
I have included the WebSocket.java and WebSocketFactory.java files in the src folder.
I have included websocket.js file in my js folder and included a reference in the index.html file.
I have included a reference to http://js.pusher.com/1.12/pusher.js in the index file.
I have included the following line in my Android App.java file: this.appView.addJavascriptInterface(new WebSocketFactory(this), "WebSocketFactory");
This is the code I'm using to connect to Pusher:
// Connect
var pusher = new Pusher(CONFIG.PUSHER.APP_KEY);
pusher.connection.bind('state_change', connectionStateChange);
function connectionStateChange(state) {
alert(state.current);
}
Is there something I'm missing? Any ideas on why the connection is not working or about where to check?
Thanks for your help.

For version 2.x of pusher-js and above the library will work within PhoneGap without any additional requirements or setup. Simply include the library and use it - no need for WebSocket.java or WebSocketFactory.java.
For version 1.x this blog post and associated code demonstrates how to get Pusher working on PhoneGap:
