Question

I am getting this error .

Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method ‘exec’ at file:///android_asset/www/JS/pg-plugin-screen-orientation.js:4

var screenOrientation = function() {}

screenOrientation.prototype.set  = function(str, success, fail) {

 PhoneGap.exec(success, fail, "ScreenOrientation", "set", [str]); // GETTING ERROR IN THIS LINE

};

navigator.screenOrientation = new screenOrientation();

I have followed the steps given in this document.

Now it is working fine . But the application crashes when this line got executed

activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Answer 1

What version of PhoneGap/Cordova are you using? The PhoneGap object has been renamed as cordova in recent versions. So you might need to update the JS file to call cordova.exec instead of PhoneGap.exec.
