Peter created CB-4760:
-------------------------
Summary: Android Quirks should be documented for WebSQL
Key: CB-4760
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4760
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android, Docs
Affects Versions: 2.9.0
Reporter: Peter
Assignee: Joe Bowser
Apparently the WebSQL implementation is known broken on some Android devices.
See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4742?focusedCommentId=13759164&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13759164
But the Cordova provided implementation also has some behaviours which cause
mobile-spec storage.spec.18 to fail
See CB-4742, CB-3047
Furthermore, the advice from Cordova dev is to just avoid using the WebSQL API
See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3047?focusedCommentId=13633073&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13633073

The problem is that the Storage Guide documentation
(http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage)
currently doesn't mention any *Android Quirks* at all, so as far as user knows
it should all work OK as per the API guide.
Since (from above) there are known problems with the WebSQL API, and Cordova
devs recommend to avoid using the WebSQL API, and the Cordova impl of WebSQL
sometimes has unexpected behaviour, then all these should be documented as
Android Quirks so the user is more aware of potential issues they will face.
