Olivier Louvignes commented on CB-1156:
---------------------------------------
Yes, using "Mountain Lion" $OSTYPE = 'darwin11' does not match & no replace is
ever made.
The whole point of Cordova is to have a unified experienced for our
smartphones. iOS has a splashScreen bundled in. So in my opinion, Android
should too.
Many devs will start building their app with iOS & then port them to Android.
In that case, you have a 100% chance of looking for it - and thus wasting a lot
of time.
There is a pending pull request addressing most of theses issues :
https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-android/pull/38
But it looks like no one is ever reviewing theses pull requests (most of them
have 0 comments...), that's sad as it discourages devs to contribute.
> Android app creation is broken in several ways!
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-1156
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1156
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Olivier Louvignes
> Assignee: Anis Kadri
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: android
>
> The experience of starting a new Android app is just really bad.
> When we use the bin/create script there is a lot of things missing :
> -> SplashScreen?!
> I just can't understand why this is lacking. It is an obvious need & everyone
> has to waste time figuring out how to make it work by themselves
> -> MacOSX is broken
> Either using latest Lion or any version with Macports + GNUTools (replacing
> deprecated versions bundled with OSX for licensing issues - common for most
> developers).
> -> The XML is missing required keys (targetSDKpath) & having invalid stuff
> inside it (xLargeScreen).
> -> Most files are badly indented. Does not respect the Google guidelines for
> JAVA.
> I've done most of the fixing myself:
> You can find this (work in progress) there :
> - https://github.com/mgcrea/incubator-cordova-android/commits/patches-create
> I'm quite disappointed on how you release a 2.0 without taking the hour
> needed to clean this mess. Instead a few hundred people will encounter the
> same issues & have a bad idea on Cordova/Phonegap.
