Question

I just excavated a maybe 3 months old Phonegap (for Android) project from my archives. Since I always had little problems with the sound API (sounds playing twice or not stopping – the rest was working just fine) I thought it might be a good idea to update to the latest version of Phonegap / now Cordova, which currently is 1.9.0. Unfortunately the app now crashes on startup (telling me it was forced to stop unexpectedly in an alert box) in all devices that I can test on (virtual and real handsets).

I guess I might have forgotten something in the update process so I’ll just list what I actually did during the update:

• replaced the JAR file to 1.9.0
• replaced the JS library to 1.9.0 (and replaced the reference in the index.html
• Edited my AndroidManifest.xml to match this page
• Replaced the plugins.xml content with the new version
• Replaced the phonegap.xml in the resfolder by the new cordova.xml
• changed the imports in the main AppActivity.java file
• Updated the all the SDK packages in Eclipse

Somehow this doesn’t seem to suffice.

Did I just miss something that still needs to be done or is this some problem with something that I am doing inside my app? I didn’t use any Cordova API except for playing Sounds.

minSdkVersion is 8 by the way.

Ok, so what did the trick (kind of) for me was to create a new Project in Eclipse, set it up the exact same way and just incorporate my www folder into the new project.

The two projects look exactly the same but lord only knows that I probably have missed something. In case anyone still has input on this, don’t hesitate to share it!
