How to implement phonegap/cordova in android webview?

Solution

If you want to load an url in a phonegap app then you may use the below code to load your first url from asset

public class MyPhoneGapActivity extends DroidGap {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 10000);
}

For embedding a cordova webview in native android application and loading an url use the below code

public class CordovaActivity extends Activity implements CordovaInterface {

            private CordovaWebView cordova_webview;
            private String TAG = "CORDOVA_ACTIVITY";
            private final ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();


            @Override 
            protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.cordova_layout);
                cordova_webview = (CordovaWebView) findViewById(R.id.cordova_web_view);
                // Config.init(this); 
                String url = "file:///android_asset/www/index.html";
                cordova_webview.loadUrl(url, 10000);
            } 


            @Override 
            protected void onPause() { 
                super.onPause(); 
                Log.d(TAG, "onPause");
            } 


            @Override 
            protected void onResume() { 
                super.onResume(); 
                Log.d(TAG, "onResume");
            } 


            @Override 
            protected void onDestroy() { 
                super.onDestroy(); 
                if (this.cordova_webview != null) {
                    this.cordova_webview
                            .loadUrl("javascript:try{cordova.require('cordova/channel').onDestroy.fire();}catch(e){console.log('exception firing destroy event from native');};"); 
                    this.cordova_webview.loadUrl("about:blank");
                    cordova_webview.handleDestroy();
                } 
            } 



            @Override 
            public Activity getActivity() {
                return this;
            } 


            @Override 
            public ExecutorService getThreadPool() {
                return threadPool;
            } 


            @Override 
            public Object onMessage(String message, Object obj) {
                Log.d(TAG, message);
                if (message.equalsIgnoreCase("exit")) {
                    super.finish(); 
                } 
                return null; 
            } 


            @Override 
            public void setActivityResultCallback(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin) {
                Log.d(TAG, "setActivityResultCallback is unimplemented");
            } 


            @Override 
            public void startActivityForResult(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin,
                    Intent intent, int resultCode) {
                Log.d(TAG, "startActivityForResult is unimplemented");
            } 
}

Problem

I need just a few minutes for someone to tell me if these steps are correct for implementing cordova in a android webview: EDIT: Ok I finally got it working these are the right steps: I create project: `cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld` and enter the folder `cordova platform add android`, `cordova run android` (cordova.jar is created) => the app is launched => device is ready is shown I create a cordova_layout.xml in "/res/layout" with this code: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebView android:id="@+id/cordova_web_view" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" /> </LinearLayout> ``` Import the project (as an "existing project" in eclipse) and add to the main java file after imports: public class HelloWorld extends Activity implements CordovaInterface { private CordovaWebView cordova_webview; private String TAG = "CORDOVA_ACTIVITY"; private final ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(); @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.cordova_layout); cordova_webview = (CordovaWebView) findViewById(R.id.cordova_web_view); // Config.init(this); String url = "file:///android_asset/www/index.html"; cordova_webview.loadUrl(url, 10000); } ``` @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); Log.d(TAG, "onPause"); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); Log.d(TAG, "onResume"); } @Override protected void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); if (this.cordova_webview != null) { this.cordova_webview .loadUrl("javascript:try{cordova.require('cordova/channel').onDestroy.fire();}catch(e){console.log('exception firing destroy event from native');};"); this.cordova_webview.loadUrl("about:blank"); cordova_webview.handleDestroy(); } } @Override public Activity getActivity() { return this; } @Override public ExecutorService getThreadPool() { return threadPool; } @Override public Object onMessage(String message, Object obj) { Log.d(TAG, message); if (message.equalsIgnoreCase("exit")) { super.finish(); } return null; } @Override public void setActivityResultCallback(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin) { Log.d(TAG, "setActivityResultCallback is unimplemented"); } @Override public void startActivityForResult(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin, Intent intent, int resultCode) { Log.d(TAG, "startActivityForResult is unimplemented"); } ``` } NOTE: the activity name must match the one in manifest.xml Hope it will help you. Have a nice day!
