debug javascript in android emulator with phonegap

Question

I am new to phonegap and android development. May I know how can I debug javascript error on the emulator? I have heard about ADB may I know how can I use and install it on wind

Answer 1

I've found that this works for debugging javascript errors for Android/Phonegap when testing the app through Eclipse on Windows 7.

Simply go to Window > Show View > Other...

Then select LogCat under the Android folder.

The window/tab that just poped up is where the Android emulator will send its logs and error messages. You can detach this window and place it outside of the Eclipse IDE (I found this useful). You can also control the types of errors you see by selecting any of the 5 colored letters in the top right hand corner of the window.

To hide the useless information so you just see errors, make sure you only have (E) selected. Personally, I also like to have (W) warnings selected as well as (E) errors selected.

Hope that helps!
