Sencha Touch 2 and Cordova 1.7.0

**eilonf** · 13 Sep 2012 7:08 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to get ST2 and Cordova 1.7.0 to work together.

I followed the tutorial at
http://robertdougan.com/posts/packag...onegap-cordova
and got it working.

Now I need to call a Cordova plugin before I show the Main view, but I Sencha does not
build my app when calling the plugin (sencha app build package fails with TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object).

I found out that if I wrap the call to the plugin with a setTimeout, the build works ok, but its not a very good solution.

How do I call the navigator.xxxx.xxxx.xxx API's without breaking ST?

Thanks,

Eilon

Edit:
I know that I need to call the plugins from the "onDeviceReady" event of ST. How do I do that correctly?

Thanks

The launch method of Ext.application will fire only after all ST classes, <body> reports loaded and when within cordova/phonegap the deviceready event fires.

I have exactly the same issue with Cordova 2.1.0 and Sencha Touch 2.

Here's my code:

Code:

Ext.application({
    launch: function() {
        navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(function () {}, function () {});
    }

});

Trying to build application (sencha app build production) results in the following error:

Code:

...[ERROR] TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object

I tried loading cordova-2.1.0.js in app.json before sencha-touch.js and my app.js files and I tried loading it in index.html file, but I'm still getting this error.

You're getting that because the builder isn't within cordova so navigator.geolocation.watchPosition is not valid

I don't really understand

Is there a way to fix it? Currently I'm providing dummy navigator.geolocation object with empty functions to make builder work.

I've come across similar gripes... I wish there was a way to build a package of a sencha app without validating all the code! I understand why it's necessary though, it's just annoying. szimek's solution is similar to what I had to do.
