$.eventStart not firing on phonegap android

[Mario Karagiorgas]

Hello,

Kudos for a practical minimalist mobile framework.

The framework's tap start event works great on desktop chrome, ie * others. But when installed as a phonegap application, it does not fire whereas singletap does...(tested on 2 android 4.0x devices phone, tablet)

Any help?

Thanks

Mario

In most cases you'd actually want to use the "singletap" event instead as this allows the user to scrolling on content before firing an event. If your back buttons are working as expected in navigation lists, then $.eventStart is working. Otherwise there is a problem and I will need some information from you to see what is blocking this.

By the way, could you please let me know what version of Android and on which browser, mobile Chrome or native browser, you're seeing $.eventStart not working?

Hi Robert,

Answers to your questions: 

Tested on 2 Android versions 4.1.1, kernel 3.0.8+ or Kernel 3.4.0

Standard Android Browser (not chrome): The web view used by PhoneGap is the same web view used by the native operating system. On Android, this is android.webkit.WebView. By Phonegap

I confirmed that eventStart does not fire on the stock browser of the device in contrast to the chrome mobile engine that fires it ok.

Many Thanks

Mario

Hey Mario,

I have a Gallaxy Nexus 5 running Android 4.2.2.

The following code is working as expected for me:

      $('#showPopover1').on($.eventStart, function() {

        var trigger = this;

        $.UIPopover({

          title: 'Fruits',

          trigger: trigger,

          content: popover1Content,

          callback: function() {

            popoverEventHandler('fruitsPopover');

          }

        });

      });

I"ve also tried a number of other use cases with $.evenStart on the native browser. That said, the native browser does have a lot of nasty even bugs. Could you maybe share a snippet of your code so I can see what you are having problems with?

Robert,

The following 2 snippets do not fire on the 4.1.1 native browser but everywhere else they fire ok. 

        var backToMainButton = $('#backToMain');

        backToMainButton.on($.eventStart, function () {

            $.UIGoBackToArticle('#main');

        });

//-- other example not firing on native

        $('#liveVideoDiv').on($.eventStart, function () {

            that.playLiveEvent();

        });

vs

singletap which fires fine.

        var backToMainButton = $('#backToMain');

        backToMainButton.on('singletap', function () {

            $.UIGoBackToArticle('#main')

        });

Thanks

I've tried to reproduce your problem here, but the oldest Android system version I have is 4.2.2. On that with a Google Galaxy 5 the native browser executes $.eventStart in all instances as expected.

If you want, I'd be happy to have a Skype conference to see if I can resolve your problem. If you're on Skype, let me know. My handle is: rombiggs

So, I just managed to get hold of a friends Galaxy 5 running Android 4.1.1. On the native browser the following code works as expected:

    $(function() {

      $("#goToLast").on($.eventStart, function() {

      alert('$.eventStart');

         $.UIGoToArticle("#article3");

       });

       $('#backToMain').on($.eventStart, function() {

        alert('$.eventStart works!');

         $.UIGoBackToArticle('#main');

       });

    });
