PhoneGap error - "Uncaught ReferenceError: cordova is not defined"

android, cordova

Solution

First please check that the path and file name to your cordova.js are correct. Then remove the onLoad event and write the `deviceready` event hook in the script file as shown below:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <!--<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/cordova-2.6.0.js"></script>-->
    <!--<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.6.0.js"></script>-->
    <!--<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/cordova.js"></script>-->
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () {
        document.addEventListener("menubutton", function() {
          alert('Menu button pressed.');
        }, true);
      }, false);
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Hello world!</p>
  </body>
</html>

Problem

I'm trying use the menu button on Android, with the PhoneGap. The problem is that I can't use it because appear this error on log: "Uncaught ReferenceError: cordova is not defined". This is the source: ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function onLoad() { document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () { document.addEventListener("menubutton", function(){ alert('Menu button pressed.'); }, true); }, false); } </script> </head> <body onload="onLoad()"> <p>Hello world!</p> </body> </html> ``` I thought that the problem was the import of cordova.js, so I tried use all this options that were commented. I don't know if have any relation, but all the times I start the script, appear this error in the console, with the red color: ``` E/webview(21743): registerForStylusPenEvent onAttachedToWindow E/webview(21743): registerForStylusPenEvent START E/webview(21743): registerForStylusPenEvent END ``` I'm sorry if had some english error, but I'm trying do it without the Google Translator. Thank you.
