Hi there. I'm using the Phonegap API for the first time in Xcode 4 on
an iPhone 3GS. I've included the phonegap.js file in my index.html
page (it didn't exist in www when I made the project, so I copied it
from WebOS folder in the phonegpa 0.9.5.1 zip) and have run my code.
But nothing happens - even when I tell it to pop an alert during
onLoad(), still nothing happens. It's as if all phonegap calls are
ignored! So I have just tried something simple like below, but still,
nothing happens. Please help!
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/phonegap.js"></script>
function onLoad() {
navigator.notification.beep(2);
}
<body onload="onLoad()">

You have to wait for the "deviceready" event before you can call any PhoneGap API methods.

I hasten to add that I have coded it correctly, as below (in case
you've taken the above code example literally!)
<html>
<head>
function onLoad() {
navigator.notification.beep(2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad()">
</body>
</html>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

navigator.notification.beep(2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad()">

Yes, I've tried that initially too. That was simply a basic example -
here is my full javascript code:
function onLoad() {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
function onDeviceReady() {
navigator.notification.activityStart();
setTimeout(function() {
navigator.network.isReachable("www.google.co.uk",
reachableCallback);
}, 500);
}
function alertDismissed() {
}
function showAlert() {
navigator.notification.alert(
'You are currently offline, so you will not be able to
make a booking.',
alertDismissed,
'MyApp',
'Done'
);
}
function reachableCallback(reachability) {
if (reachability.internetConnectionStatus == 0) {
showAlert();
location.reload(true);
}
else {
setTimeout("showAlert()", 20000);

There's your problem. Each of the platforms has its own phonegap.js. Run it once to get the phonegap.0.9.5.1 copied in. Try it on a new project and run it once to see what I mean. Reasons why etc http://blogs.nitobi.com/shazron/2011/05/05/phonegap-xcode-4-template/

a minor thing, but just in case it is helpful... should you get it out
of the "iOS" folder for iPhone, not the "webOS" folder? For me I have
to run the project blank the very first time as was just mentioned
above.

Ahh, that makes sense! I had a dig around and found PhoneGapLib in ~/
Documents so I copied the phonegap.js file from there into my www
folder and it all works perfectly. Many thanks!

Yes, that was my mistake, taking it from webOS folder - but I couldn't
find the iPhone folder. Now I've found it, it works. Thanks.
