Question

Trying to make an app using phonegap 1.4.1 + phonegap’s childbrowser plugin.
I’ve been following guides and digging a lot on the subject, but I’m stuck on an error I can’t understand.

I’ve moved the childbrowser.java to the correct location and added this to the plugins.xml:

<plugin name="ChildBrowser" value="com.phonegap.plugins.childBrowser.ChildBrowser"/>

added this to the androidmanifest.xml:

<activity android:name="com.phonegap.DroidGap" android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

But I get an error on the ChildBrowser.java on this line:

package com.phonegap.plugins.childBrowser;

telling me that the declared package com.phonegap.plugins.childBrowser does not match the expected package com.phonegap.plugins.ChildBrowser.

I changed it to capital C in childbrowser.java, and the error went away, but ofc, the plugin didn’t work.
i found this topic, discussing it, but no appearant fix

I have tried renaming the plugin name in plugins.xml

Earlier, i was trying to whitelist some url’s, but kept getting them blocked, so i’m thinking there’s something wrong with my /res/xml directory? its meant to be projectroot/res/xml, right?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you’ve created the package “com.phonegap.plugins.ChildBrowser” in your Eclipse project then you need to modify the plugins.xml line to be:

<plugin name="ChildBrowser" value="com.phonegap.plugins.ChildBrowser.ChildBrowser"/>

to match the actual package of the plugin.
