Send data from JS to parent with PhoneGap

Question

I am experimenting with PhoneGap on Android and am embedding the CordovaWebView in an Activity that implements the CordovaInterface . I want to know if it is possible to send some data from JavaScript to the parent that contains the CordovaWebView .

In the CordovaInterface there is a method onMessage and I assumed that it would be possible to handle messages from JS there, but I can't seem to find documentation on how that works.

In this question I saw that creating a plugin would do it, but is that the only way? Isn't there something that is already implemented in PhoneGap.

Answer 1

This may or may not help you but if you want to see an example of how a plugin is implemented I've done this on my blog . It does allow you to communicate between the two and is probably your best bet in doing so. My understanding is this is the reasoning for the plugin interface in PhoneGap.
