从 Cordova 发送原生 HTTP 请求

Question

I am not that familiar with native Android development, I have some experience in Web development

I am trying create a hybrid android app using Cordova, I know how to send an AJAX request but you can not send that http requests to all website, becuase orgin policy, but the native Java can send that kind of HTTP request

I saw lot of people creating plugins that makes native API available to JavaScript, so is there any plugin in cordova that can send http request without the problem of origin policy?

Answer 1

Yes exists, and works very well, we are using on our project the plugin cordova-plugin-advanced-http , based on cordova-HTTP .

The project is a onsen/angularjs/cordova, and the plugin work without CORS errors, normal :), now we are evaluating if is more efficient native HTTP calls or javascript HTTP calls, the author of the plugin cite three good motivations to change for native calls:

Background threading - all requests are done in a background thread.
Handling of HTTP code 401 - read more at Issue CB-2415.

The plugin offer a good documentation, and is easy to use with simple POST , PUT , DELETE and GET methods. Is possible set Headers and another presets.
