OK, further update:
After adding this on the CordovaWebView:
public WebBackForwardList restoreState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
WebBackForwardList myList = super.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
//Initialize the plugin manager once more
this.pluginManager.init();
return myList;
}
We now have the bridge up and working, but we have no way yet to
recover the callback state. Remember that we're starting an activity
for a result, and when the result is passed back, it's usually in the
extra. We have to figure out how to save the callbacks and restore
them, and we have to encapulate this housekeeping.
So, should I commit what I now from the branch into this and keep
going with this? It's definitely an improvement but it's still not
100% yet.
