I have got a fully working phonegap 1.6.1 application, built in HTML5. I’d like to make this page refresh itself from the internet (replace the in-app html file with the online one, and save it for later), but when it is not possible, just do nothing.
It is on Android (2.3.7 & 4.1.2)
Is it possible?
I would really appreciate if you could send me a code (script) that helps.
P. S. I’m doing the job in DreamWeaver without any databases, etc.
Thanks in advance!
Are you wanting to replace the actual html with what is found on the corresponding web site or are you trying to update content on the page? One is possible the other is not as your html index is compiled into the adk and not really editable on the fly, per se. You may update content dymanically from the web, but I’m pretty sure it is impossible to re-compile your apk on the android device itself.
However, if your html file is nothing more than a web view or iframe of your web site, then it will work, provided the app may reach the internet. The problem is that your app will not work if not connected to the internet. However, you could write a js routine to pull a default html view when internet access cannot be had.
