Question

PhoneGap Integration

I'm trying to to write a mendix application that will be able to access the mobile device's camera, just a basic example. I have the following: 1. a Cordova project (2.0.0) that references the Mendix application in a iFrame (loads the mobile app in the frame), this Cordova project has the correct javascript to access the camera of the device. 2. in the Mobile application I call the Javascript of the Cordova project with the parent.method() (I inject this using the index-mobile.html) This is simply not working, I am unable to access the javascript of the container. Is my methodology or approach incorrect? What other ways are there to call the containers scripts?

Have you checked the documentation at https://world.mendix.com/display/Tutorials/Build+steps+with+Xcode ? Mind that these docs have been written for Cordova 1.7.0.

Maybe running from an iframe is problematic? The docs use a dedicated index.html page instead.

I tried to get it working with android and the thing that i did not know is that the developer machine can be reached by 10.0.2.2:portNumber After i set the address right it worked like a charm for me.
