Question

I’ve just received the PhoneGap solution from by sub-contractor in order to test it on my phone before launch.

I import the project into Eclipse and it all looks fine.

I can test the app locally on my computer by opening the index.html file:

file://E:/AppDevelopment/Workspace/myproject/assets/www/index.html

So far so good. Then I try launching this an my phone ( via USB cabel). The front page opens, but the CSS is missing. And when I click any link, I get the following message:

"A network error occurred. (file:///android_asset/www/car.html?carID=106"

Has anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions to how I can debug what is wrong?

UPDATE

Following Dmyto’s suggestion, I’m trying to change the onReceivedError. But I only get coding errirs.

package com.phonegap.mysite;

import android.os.Bundle;
import org.apache.cordova.*;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class Mysiteextends DroidGap {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

    }

/** This is where it goes wrong **/

    WebView webview = new WebView(this);

    webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                Log.i("WEB_VIEW_TEST", "error code:" + errorCode);
                super.onReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
        }

}

Without seeing your index.html code it is hard to tell if you are referencing your css files properly. Also, that url: file:///android_asset/www/car.html=carID=106 doesn’t seem valid? What is with the =carID=106? A proper URL should be ?carID=106. But wait there’s more, there is a bug on Android where url paramters are not read properly.

It’s a bug on Android. You should go star it:

In the meantime use localStorage.setItem()/getItem() to pass values between pages.
