I just recently started doing some Android app development, based on Phonegap (due to my web based background (PHP/MySQL)) and jQuery mobile. First tests are promising, but the next level is a bit too much for me.
I'm trying to integrate this plugin: https://github.com/saileshmittal/phonegap-system-notification-plugin
I have followed the readme file and my app seemed to be working fine (no notifications just yet but also no errors) but when I opened my project this morning, Eclipse showed the following errors:
Invalid ZIP archive: src/com/phonegap/myapp/SystemNotification.java [in myapp]
Invalid preference page path: XML Syntax
Next to this error, I don't quite understand how to show the system notification. I have tried the following:
navigator.SystemNotification.createStatusBarNotification('contentTitle', 'contentText', 'tickerText');
and:
navigator.systemNotification = new SystemNotification();
navigator.SystemNotification.createStatusBarNotification('contentTitle', 'contentText', 'tickerText');
Again, my background is web based. I'm familiar with PHP, MySQL, Javascript, jQuery, etc. but Java is completely new to me. The objective to my app at this point is to show some checkboxes (loaded from an external server) and save which ever checkbox is checked. This seems to be working fine. I'm testing showing the checked ones as a system notification. Seeing I have an Android powered phone, I'm working off that right now, planning to port it to iPhone and other devices later on.
If somebody could point me in the direction of push notification for later purposes, I'd appreciate it.

Prerequisites: Got a working app from a friend who needs some changes made. They were outsourcing and now want to internally manage it.
I come from a web and game dev background, so Android/IOS development is new to me, but a lot of the principles seem to be the same.
I got the project onto my device, installed all of the dependencies, and fixed all of the file paths.
The app successfully builds, and I have my virtual Android device running it great!
However, my buddy wants some really simple layout changes, and for the life of me, I can't find where to just edit the home screen layout. I was trying to solve my issue from a web dev approach, by grepping where the logo screen is used in the app, but those files seem to just load a white "background" layer, and not the entire composed page?
I'm missing something really silly here, and I just want to ask a real person on here, instead of digging through documentation and trying to word a condensed question in a Google search.
Here are my condensed questions: How can I just edit the home screen of my app in Android Studio? Where can I find the full home page file to view the entire layout, and not just a fragment?
Edit: The app also utilizes the Flutter SDK, which may explain why I have been having trouble with layout edits. I'm going to look at it again after work today, and hopefully answer my own question. I appreciate the help so far!
Edit 2: After going back to the app with a different approach, I found out my project had defaulted to the "android" sub folder of my master, and wasn't showing any of the Flutter .dart documents. After going up one folder directory, I was finally able to access that Main.Dart file with the display information.
I was able to mount it for inspection, but its saying my emulated device isn't supported. I need to look at it when I have time tonight, and may need to ask a separate question for it. I have my project sdk set to Android 33, and my virtual device is set to Android version 33. I searched around Stack, with a few people with reporting similar issues. I tried following their solutions, but it didn't seem to work.
I am in the process of testing a hybrid app for Android 4.4+. The app consists of
one custom plugin (my own effort)
the HTML UI created using Phonon.
Phonegap CLI v 6.4.2
My test device is a Huwaei Holly running Android 4.4.2
One of the issues I have run into is the fact that the caret in textarea and input controls stops working "after a while" and the soft keyboard does not popup when I tap the control.
By dint of some trial and error I pinned down the problem - it happens AFTER the app has displayed at least one vanilla HTML/JS alert box which I am using for my own debugging needs. Replacing that with a Phonon.alert box - which is simply an overlayed layer of HTML, not a new window as, I imagine, the bog standard alert is - "fixed" the problem.
Very good but the fact that this happens at all still bothers me - I will not use vanilla alerts in my release build but if it happened with alerts it might well happen with something else.
A spot of Googling revealed that is a known issue that appears to have been around for a while. This SO thread, for instance, suggests the Webview has to be set as being focussable and I have run into the same suggestion elsewhere too.
However, it is not at all clear to me just where I should do this. About the only configuration locations I have at my disposal are
The config.xml file for my Phonegap/Cordova project
The plugin.xml file for my custom Phonegap/Cordova plugin
The Phonegap docs related to config.xml do not mention anything about FrameworkLayout, android:focussable etc.
I'd be most grateful to anyone who might be able to either
explain just where the android:focussable bit should go or
suggest the root cause of the problem.
i got a webapp build via flambe/haxe which is wrapped by phonegap build to get an .ipa and .apk. For now the only remaining error is that the app looses its context if i switch between apps or pressing home-button resulting in the following error on android:
"W/Adreno200-EGL(31381): <qeglDrvAPI_eglSetBlobCacheFuncsQCOM:5575>: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER"
"E/libEGL(31381): eglSetBlobCacheFuncsANDROID resulted in an error: 0x300c"
"E/SurfaceTexture(31381): [unnamed-31381-1] updateTexImage: invalid current EGLContext"
"E/CanvasTexture(31381): unexpected error: updateTexImage return -38"
The last two lines keep repeating (even after several minutes) until i close the app manually which results in the following error-message:
"E/libEGL(21636): call to OpenGL ES API with no current context (logged once per thread)"
Full errorlog can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/UkxwfI (Dropbox)
One thing that keeps bugging me is the following message since all "related" problems got that feature turned ON, but i cant find anything to change that.
"D/webcoreglue(31381): netstack: Memory Cache feature is OFF"
Another thing is with: D/CordovaActivity(31381): CB-3064: The errorUrl is null
As of http://goo.gl/qZWc4F (github) there seems to be a problem on resuming in cordova. (just strg+f "cb-3064")
Took me the whole day to use google on terms like:
EGL_BAD_PARAMETER, qeglDrvAPI_eglSetBlobCacheFuncsQCOM, SurfaceTexture, CanvasTexture, updateTexImage, invalid current EGLContext, eglSetBlobCacheFuncsANDROID, error: 0x300c, OpenGL ES API
but without any good hints or helpful info.
additional information:
tested on Sony Xperia J (ST26i) and android 4.1.2
min android SDK 14
android:hardwareAccelerated="true" (default since sdk 14)
landscape + fullscreen
webview used to display the website coming from flambe/haxe
used build phonegap / phonegap 3.3 (using 2.8 - 3.3 = same)
building it myself via cordova doesnt help (so it should not relate to phonegap build)
cordova.inappbrowser only used to open links in external browser, website running in webview
website only shows a html5-game (nothing fancy, just something like bejeweld)
Maybe there's some easy help by juggling with the Android-Manifest. I really dont want to do native since the webapp is shipped to iOS via Phonegap too.
Update 1
Tried to reproduce the error using native android and playing with different manifest-settings. But it seems like this has something to do with how phonegap/cordova handles the drawing of everything on screen.
Next things to do will involve posting on phonegap-forums and checking out iOS errorlog. Maybe i find something while comparing my results to: iOS app crashes on resuming
Update 2
iOS-Errorlog doesn't help. Exception Type 20 and Exception Code 8badf00d. Stack shows errors with graphics too (like in android). Errorlog see Link in Comment...
"Fixed" by building android and ios myself with cordova. Resuming/Restarting feels a bit bumpy but thats the next thing to fix.
Phonegap build just doesn't like the life cycle of apps.
i am using sencha touch 2 for first time .i have installed mds applaud plugin with sencha touch support for eclipse
i start project by including sencha touch library as shown below.
then i add sencha code as follows
but when i run the programme in android emulator instead of printing hello world it shows blank white screen as below.
can anyone help me how to run this application sucessfully ?
I'm pretty new to this, but I found that you can test the view in your browser by directing it to the folder that the app is in. For example, I just created an app called "TS2". The app is in the folder C://xampp/htdocs/ts3 so I direct my browser to http:// my ip here /ts3/assets/www/. Of course I got the apache server running in XAMPP.
One more thing, I created the new app in the bash console and then imported it to Eclipse. In the screen you capped I selected "Create project from specific source directory" and then there is another option called something like import.
I hope this helps but, as I said, I'm still learning myself.
Sorry for the complete newbie question but i'm not having much luck.
I've created a project through eclipse with the phonegap plugin and deployed it as an android app onto a tablet to run locally - but I'm getting the 'Note: Navigation may not work if viewed locally' bar being added on the bottom of the pages.
How do I get round this? I thought if it was packaged up in this format I wouldn't have to install an android webserver onto the tablet and run it through the browser?
All guidance is much apreciated.
I had the samme error, and it turned out that jquery.mobile was included twice. Removal of the twin reference resulted in removal of the Note.
