It might be related to this issue. For some reason PhoneGap is calling setNavDump on the web view's WebSettings. setNavDump is an obsolete method according to the android docs so you should be fine if you disable it.

One way to do it is by overriding the init method in your class that extends DroidGap

    @Override
public void init() {
    super.init();       
    this.appView.getSettings().setNavDump(false);
}

If that doesn't work, try adding it after the loadUrl call in the existing onCreate method:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    //... snip ...
    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 12000);
    this.appView.getSettings().setNavDump(false);
    //... snip ...
}
