I am about to set up a phonegap project and wanted to create a little hello world application to make sure my phonegap app works alright. For this I am printing out some device information. Here is my JavaScript code:
function onDeviceReady(){
document.getElementById("name").innerHTML = device.name; // undefined
document.getElementById("phonegap").innerHTML = device.phonegap; // undefined
document.getElementById("platform").innerHTML = device.platform; // Android
document.getElementById("version").innerHTML = device.version; // 4.4.2
document.getElementById("uuid").innerHTML = device.uuid; // 1dafa426...
}
/** Called at the bodys onLoad event */
function init(){
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
As soon as I run this code I get the following error message:
Unable to open asset URL: file:///android_asset/www/cordova_plugins.json
I have tried commenting out the device.name and device.phonegap lines, but this couldn't fix it.
Any ideas to fix this? I am using Cordova 2.9.0 and have attached both my config.xml file and my full error log.
config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns = "..."
id = "io.cordova.helloCordova"
version = "2.0.0">
<name>Hello Cordova</name>
<description>
A sample Apache Cordova application that responds to the deviceready event.

EDIT (Workaround)
Creating a dummy file cordova_plugins.json helped me to get rid of my error messages. This seems just to be a little workaround and I still have got the problem that I cannot access the variables device.name and device.phonegap (They're undefined).
EDIT (Upgrade to Cordova 3.x)
After upgrading my project to cordova 3.x this error disappeared. Maybe I did just make any mistake in setting up the project. Nevertheless everything works totally fine with Cordova 3.x (I updated to 3.1 and later on to 3.4)
