Filip Maj updated CB-481:
-------------------------

    Description: 
The final call in Android's cordova-js after everything is ready is to tell 
native to unhide the webview. This is done via a {{prompt}} call with string 
"gap_init" or something along those lines.

While this is fine, we already have the {{exec}} module in place to handle 
webview -> native communication. We should use that instead. It's kind of 
foolish to go one level below {{exec}} when we have the {{exec}} abstraction 
available and in place already.

This would also help the testing tool Ripple: Android Cordova apps being 
emulated in Ripple would no longer see an annoying prompt following app startup!

Bottom line: {{exec}} is our go-to for calling into native. Circumventing an 
abstraction we put into place does not make any sense, and unifies how our 
bridge works.

        Summary: Patch Android cordova.js to call exec() instead of directly 
calling prompt()  (was: Android initialize() method calls prompt('gap:init') to 
tell native to unhide webview)
