Figured out a work-around for clobbering things on navigator on Android
(tested on 2.1 and 2.3):
var newNavigator = {};
newNavigator.__proto__ = navigator;
newNavigator.__defineGetter__('onLine', function() {
return network.type != 'none';
});
newNavigator.connection = {type: 'wifi'};
window.navigator = newNavigator;
I'll hook this up so that connection and onLine will work properly (woohoo!)
As for events, I don't think document.body is common, but I think
window.addEventListener is quite common since it works on both mobile
safari and android browser. I'll add this to the API review list on the
wiki, but I do need to do something here in the short term since I need to
listen to the browser-fired window online/offline events to implement the
ONLINE_EVENTS exec bridge. How about just put in an android
only work-around for now:
cordova.addWindowEventHandler('online');
cordova.addWindowEventHandler('offline');
function proxyEvent(e) { cordova.fireWindowEvent(e.type); }
document.addEventListener('online', proxyEvent, false);
document.addEventListener('offline', proxyEvent, false);
