Cordova plugin success callback loses bind variable

Question

I am passing a success callback to a Cordova plugin, as below,

function onSuccess (response) {
    console.log('i = ' + this.i + ', response = ' + response);
}.bind ({i: i})

The value of i is not retained. What am I missing?

Answer 1

After hours of debugging, learned that the Cordova layer run-time session does not carry forward 'this'. So, when the callback is eventually run within a session of the Cordova layer, the 'this' is not what the bind value is, but the value then.

In short, what I was trying to do is not possible.
