Joe Bowser resolved CB-3064.
----------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
If you leave an app in Android, it isn't stopped, it is paused. So, for
example, if you go off and do something like play Ingress, and then come back,
the application will restore its state and move on. When the activity restores
its state, it loads the data from the intent where the Config class stores the
data read from config.xml.
In the config.xml file, I put the following as the errorUrl:
<preference name="errorUrl" value="file:///android_asset/www/ohnoes.html" />
Then in DroidGap.java, I added this code in onResume:
//Code to test CB-3064
String errorUrl = this.getStringProperty("errorUrl", null);
LOG.d(TAG, "CB-3064: The errorUrl is " + errorUrl);
If we lose this data, this should not say ohnoes.html. However, it appears
that it does. As long as we have the state of the intent, we should have the
data. If the application is killed, it has to go back through the initial init
process.
This was tested on Android 4.2.2 (Nexus 7) , Android 4.1.x (Samsung Galaxy S3)
and Android 2.3.6 (Nexus S). If your device is a special case, please let us
know and we can re-open this issue.
> The preferences are read only the very first time the application runs

> Key: CB-3064
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3064
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0, 2.6.0
> Environment: All Android versions and devices
> Reporter: Davide Maestroni
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
>
> The preferences in the config.xml file are not read again if application
> exits and then restarts.
> A simple test is to set the background color to GREEN (-16711936 or
> [0xff00ff00]) and use an html page with transparent background.
> The first time it is run, the application correctly displays a green
> background but then, after exiting by pressing the back or home button, and
> re-running it, the background stays black.
> Forcing the application thread to stop from the Android settings menu seems
> to cause the preferences file to be read again.
