Phonegap Android Websocket with Angularjs

[José Leal Domingues Neto]

Hello Experts,

I've posted a question in Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15575798/angularjs-phonegap-android-using-websockets

I'm receiving a callback from a Java interface which is embedded in my javascript. From this callback I receive a String to be processed by my Javascript code in the client. The whole app is built in angular.

The problem is that, everytime I receive this callback from this Android Java interface, it seems to me that angularjs is creating somehow a second $scope, where everything is not visible to the 'normal' scope.

An example is inside the question, but I'll explain quickly. I set up a timer simply outputting a number set in a service every 5 seconds. The WebSocket callback changes this number to 2.

Output before the callback:

n: 1

n: 1

n: 1

n: 1

As soon as the Websocket callback calls, it then outputs my alternately 2 times the different numbers.

Output after the callback:

n: 1

n: 2

n: 1

n: 2

n: 1

n: 2

n: 1

n: 2

Strange, huh? I don't know what is angular really doing, but it works perfectly if I change a variable in a global scope, window.myNumber for example.

I am calling $rootScope.$apply , so it shouldn't be the problem.

If you could help me would be very nice ;D

Thank you all,

Jn
