Oh I see. Here, by recreating I meant calling pluginManager->init() method. loadUrl(string url) in CordovaWebView calls loadUrlIntoView(final String url, boolean recreatePlugins) With second argument as true. Which does this
if (recreatePlugins) { this.url = url; this.pluginManager.init(); } I am wondering why calling init() here every time we load a new url.
