Error initializing Cordova: Class not found

Question

I followed the tutorial of Phonegap from the official Phonegap.com site (getting started with Android).

I have created project with following all the steps.

Answer 1

I had this problem using phonegap 3.x and the problem turned out to be that phonegap hadn't properly installed the plugins, or they just messed up along the way. Basically when you install the plugins and build for a platform it takes the javascript files from plugins/org.apache.cordova.core.specific-plugin/www and puts them in platforms/android/assets/www/plugins/org.apache.cordova.core.specific-plugin/www and then it takes the Java files (or objective C for iOS) and puts them in platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova/specificplugin

And all of this is specified by plugins/org.apache.cordova.core.specific-plugin/plugin.xml. If you look in a plugins.xml you should see something like:

So this tells you that in platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova/networkinformation, there should be NetworkManager.java. And that file can be copied from plugins/org.apache.cordova.core.network-information/src/android/NetworkManager.java

Now all of this is supposed to happen automatically without having to touch the platforms folder. But if it messes up you can fix it by manually copying the correct files into the correct folders.
