Question

How can I call a native android method(function), from javascript, in an Android phonegap application, without using webview concept.

Any one help me....

Which version of Cordovo supports this process?

Answer 1

We can wrote custom plugin in phonegap that we can call from javascript.

below is the javascript line to call android function

exec(<successFunction>, <failFunction>, <service>, <action>, [<args>]);

add below code in config file

<feature name="<service_name>">
        <param name="android-package" value="<full_name_including_namespace>" />
    </feature>

below is the android class that needs to exptend Cordova Plugin class.

 public class CustomPlugin  extends CordovaPlugin {
    @Override
            public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
        }
    }

Refer phonegap docs for custom plugin development
