PhonGap.exec Plugin Parameter is Different on iOS and Android
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-291
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-291
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Environment: iOS, Android, Mac OSX 10.7
Reporter: Oleg Gryb
Assignee: Joe Bowser
plugins.xml on Android and PhoneGap.phlist are used to define a new plugin.
They both use a short name (e.g. MyPlugin) and a fully qualified name (e.g.
com.MyCompany.MyPlugin) to describe a plugin, however the meaning of the
parameter #3 in PhoneGap.exec function is different. In Android case you need
to write:
PhoneGap.exec(success, error, "MyPlugin", "method", [params]);
while in iOS case id should be:
PhoneGap.exec(success, error, "com.MyCompany.MyPlugin", "method", [params]);
It results in necessity of having two different JS files with custom plugin
definitions, which could be avoided if we use the same convention on both
platforms. I think, using FQN is a better option and that's why it should be
fixed on Android.
A work around to avoid deploying two different JS files is to use something
like this in plugins.xml on Android:
<plugin name="com.MyCompany.MyPlugin" value="com.MyCompany.MyPlugin"/>
It works, but it looks really ugly.
