Question

I want to run an Android application by using phonegap. I want to just run a simple demo application which has been given on this link.

I have put the phonegap-1.4.1.jar inside the libs folder and www inside the asset folder.

But I am getting a compile time error on the following lines of code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.phonegap.*;
    public class PhonegapActivity extends DroidGap
    {
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
        }
    }

I am getting a run time error inside the manifest file also on the following code:

<supports-screens
        android:largeScreens="true"
        android:normalScreens="true"
        android:smallScreens="true"
        android:xlargeScreens="true"
        android:resizeable="true"
        android:anyDensity="true"
        />

Error is : error: No resource identifier found for attribute ‘xlargeScreens’ in package ‘android

The android enviroment is installed properly on my system. Normal android applications are running properly but when I try to run the phone gap application above, this error is coming. For phonegap is there any other plugins required to Install so that my application will run properly?

Answer 1

xlargeScreens has been introduced in API Level 9.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html#xlarge

For that you need to use at least android API Level 9 for android:xlargeScreens to be recognized in you AndroidManifest.xml.

Please make sure that you are building your project on atleast android 2.3.3 Sdk.
