Android - phonegap error: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix
cordova, java, javascript, phonegap-plugins, xml
Solution
You need to add a xml namespace.
xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
Your root xml schould look like this one:
<widget id="com.example.MyApp"
version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0">
good luck!
Problem
I restarted eclipse and the error changed to "error: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix" on the same line I am trying to use this plugin in my android phonegap application. It is a local notification plugin. I am getting the error in my config.xml file on this line: ``` <gap:plugin name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification" version="0.6.2" /> ``` There is a similar question about this problem here, but the answer is not related to my problem. Here is my config.xml file: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <widget xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" id = "com.xxx.xxx" version = "2.0.0"> <name>xxx</name> <description> xxx </description> <author href="http://www.example.com" email="xxx@yahoo.com"> xxx </author> <access origin="*"/> <!-- <content src="xxx" /> for external pages --> <content src="index.html" /> <preference name="loglevel" value="DEBUG" /> <!-- <preference name="splashscreen" value="resourceName" /> <preference name="backgroundColor" value="0xFFF" /> <preference name="loadUrlTimeoutValue" value="20000" /> <preference name="InAppBrowserStorageEnabled" value="true" /> <preference name="disallowOverscroll" value="true" /> --> <feature name="App"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.App"/> </feature> <feature name="Geolocation"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.GeoBroker"/> </feature> <feature name="Device"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.Device"/> </feature> <feature name="Accelerometer"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.AccelListener"/> </feature> <feature name="Compass"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.CompassListener"/> </feature> <feature name="Media"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.AudioHandler"/> </feature> <feature name="Camera"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.CameraLauncher"/> </feature> <feature name="Contacts"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.ContactManager"/> </feature> <feature name="File"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.FileUtils"/> </feature> <feature name="NetworkStatus"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.NetworkManager"/> </feature> <feature name="Notification"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.Notification"/> </feature> <feature name="Storage"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.Storage"/> </feature> <feature name="FileTransfer"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.FileTransfer"/> </feature> <feature name="Capture"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.Capture"/> </feature> <feature name="Battery"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.BatteryListener"/> </feature> <feature name="SplashScreen"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.SplashScreen"/> </feature> <feature name="Echo"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.Echo"/> </feature> <feature name="Globalization"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.Globalization"/> </feature> <feature name="InAppBrowser"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.InAppBrowser"/> </feature> <!-- Deprecated plugins element. Remove in 3.0 --> <plugins> <plugin name="SplashScreen" value="org.apache.cordova.SplashScreen"/> <gap:plugin name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification" version="0.6.2" /> </plugins> </widget> ``` I am using eclipse with the adt plugin. I generated an android application and made some modification to it so it would work with phonegap (its working fine without the local notification plugin). I am using cordova 2.9.0 version. How can I solve this problem?
