Why is PhoneGap Android app crashing while inserting bunch of data into SQL?

Question

I have PhoneGap app running in Android. When the app starts, it inserts approximately 500 rows into SQL. Table has 10 columns. It\'s not a lot of data, I have a JSON in text

Maybe you need a recursive callback function like this:

//too many insert statements
var sqlits= ["INSERT INTO ...", .. .. .. ,"INSERT INTO ..."];

function populate(){
    db.transaction(function(tx){
        if(sqlits.length > 0){
            sql=sqlits.shift();
            tx.executeSql(sql);
        }else{
            alert('End');
        }
        return true;
    },function(tx,err){ 
        console.log("SQL Error: "+err); 
    },populate);
};

populate();
