Question

My problem is quite hard to explain clearly…

I call a phonegap plugin to download and unzip a zip, and on the callback i return the url of the new page to load the new page :

bindings.js (Where the binding is done) :

showGameDetailComplete: function(data) {
    [...]
    $('#play-game').bind('tap',function() {
        var gameDownloader = new GameDownloader();
        gameDownloader.downloadGame(data.url, data.id, 
            function(data) {
                alert(data);
                document.location.href = data;
            }, function(data) {
                alert('Download failed');
            }
        );
    })
},

gamedownloader.js (The link between JS – Android) :

GameDownloader.prototype.downloadGame = function(fileUrl, gameId,
     successCallback, failureCallback) {
PhoneGap.exec(successCallback, failureCallback, "GameDownloader", "download", [ fileUrl, gameId]);
};

GameDownloaderPlugin.java (The Phonegap Android native plugin) :

public class GameDownloaderPlugin extends Plugin
{
[...]

@Override
public PluginResult execute(String action, JSONArray data, String callbackId)
{
    result = null;
    mCallbackId = callbackId;
    if (action.equals(ACTION_DOWNLOAD))
    {
        try
        {
            downloadGame(data.getString(0), data.getString(1));
            result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.NO_RESULT);
            result.setKeepCallback(true);
            return result;
        }
        catch (JSONException e)
        {
            result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR, "Param errors");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        result = new PluginResult(Status.INVALID_ACTION);
        Log.d("DirectoryListPlugin", "Invalid action : " + action + " passed");
    }
    return result;
}

private void downloadGame(String fileUrl, String gameId)
{
    try
    {
        /* Downloading the zip */
        [...]

        /* Unzip the zip */
        Intent iUnzip = new Intent(ctx, GameUnzipActivity.class);
        iUnzip.putExtra(UNZIP_GAMEID, gameId);
        iUnzip.putExtra(UNZIP_SRCFILE, fileName);
        ctx.startActivityForResult(this, iUnzip, GAME_UNZIP);
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        if (LOG)
            Log.d("GameDownloaderPlugin", "Error: " + e);
        this.error(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR, "Error: " + e), mCallbackId);
    }

}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    switch (requestCode)
    {
        case (GAME_UNZIP):
        {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
            {
                if (LOG)
                    Log.d("GameDownloaderPlugin", "Game unzipped! \\o/");
                this.success(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, "../../games/" + mGameId + "/"), this.mCallbackId);
            }
            else
            {
                if (LOG)
                    Log.d("GameDownloaderPlugin", "Bide!");
                this.error(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR), this.mCallbackId);
            }               
        }
            break;
    }
}
}

So here the unzip activity is called, then return a result in onActivityResult() :

PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, "../../games/" + mGameId + "/"), this.mCallbackId);

Here… No problem, the game is well unzipped, the callback is well sent, received in bindings.js :

function(data) {
                alert(data);
                document.location.href = data + 'html/fr/index.html';
}

The alert(data) show the good callback, but the document.location.href line logcat an error :

Error loading url content://com.tuto.android.provider.DataFileProvider/games/1/html/fr/index.html

And for information, I use a provider to show my pages included in the /data/data/package/files file, that’s why I have this URL :

content://com.tuto.android.provider.DataFileProvider/games/1/html/fr/index.html

If you want more explication tell me more, it’s quite hard to understand.

Answer 1

Well… I’ve finally found a solution :

When I want a new page to be shown, I use a new plugin for starting the principal activity DroidGap a second time with the url parameter :

public class MyActivity extends DroidGap
{
  [...]

  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent i = getIntent();
    Bundle b = i.getExtras();

    if (b == null)
    {
        super.loadUrl(PROV_WWW + "html/fr/index.html");
    }
    else
    {
        String url = b.getString("URL");

        super.loadUrl(url);
    }
  }
}

It’s more a workaround than a real solution, but it’s actually working.
