open an activity from a CordovaPlugin

Question

I have written a CordavaPlugin derived class.

public class ShowMap extends CordovaPlugin {

@Override
public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args,
          


        

Answer 1

1. Register your activity in the AndroidManifest file
2. In your plugin you should have the code like this, notice no "callback.success()" is called
3. Run the action in ui thread and not background thread.

4. enjoy

   if (action.equals("myaction")) {
       cordova.getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
           @Override
           public void run() {
               Context context = cordova.getActivity()
                       .getApplicationContext();
               Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyNewActivityGap.class);
               cordova.getActivity().startActivity(intent);
           }
       });
   
       return true;
   }
