My ajax request code which returns status 404 .

So ajax request fail on android but is works fine on ios and browser.

Answer 1

I downloaded your project, replaced your project source code in my newly create project and replaced delete button click function's AJAX url call to my local URL and im successfully able to make AJAX calls. In fact, i have placed an alert in success callback and im getting alert too.

So by all means it has got nothing to do with coding. It could be a possible problem with Android platform creation in first place or it could be issue with cordova whitelist plugin installation.

Have posted the working codebase in github Have also included plugin and Android platform for your reference along with the codebase. Do make use of the same for further development. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

As of version 5 or so, cordova requires whitelist plugin . Then <access origin="*" /> (or any origin you pick) should work.
