Bnaya commented on CB-8917:
---------------------------
I think this issue of killed webviews is critical and must not be ignored.
its not uncommon and a lot of developers are unaware to that, what lead to low
quality apps and frustrated users.
Maybe to add plugin development guideline about that, and encourage the plugin
developers to add a method to retrieve results that the plugin failed to
deliver.
and supply boilerplate code for that in the android plugin class.
That way you won't add any android specific cordova api, but letting the
developers the awareness to that issue.
and general guideline for the android platform that the webview activity might
be killed if any other activity is opened.
Thanks for you response i've waited long time to see any response for this
issue :)

> In android when you have a plugin that opens new activity the CordovaActivity
> will be killed and you won't get the result from the plugin.
> The new activity will get the results but because the plugin objects are dead
> and the webview reloaded you can get the data to the js callback.
> The most noticeable example is the camera plugin. (And maybe its the same
> with even more platforms)
> possible solution for this is to add metadata to the device ready event with
> incoming data from plugins.
> I see that this code:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/3.6.x/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/CordovaActivity.java#L779-L784
> is trying to do some recovery but from some reason
> ```
> if(callback != null) {
> ```
> fails. maybe the plugins didn't loaded yet?
