Joe Bowser commented on CB-9615: -------------------------------- getSettings() is not a Cordova API, and it was never guaranteed to work. You can try and get the SystemWebView to get access to this API, but relying on non-Cordova APIs that aren't documented in the Cordova documentation is unwise. > getsettings API removed from Android CordovaWebView which disables > renderpriority and WebView tweaks for devices below Android 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-9615 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9615 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Android > Affects Versions: 4.1.0, 4.3.0, 4.0.1, 4.1.1 > Environment: Windows 8.1 and Android SDK with Eclipse or Android > Studio > Reporter: Chris Murdaugh > > getsettings API removed from CordovaWebView ex: > appView.getSettings().setRenderPriority in the java MainActivity no longer > works in Cordova Android 3.7.2 and above (to test you will need to set > hardwareacceleration to false in AndroidManifest and use the above java in > the mainactivity) - an undefined method is thrown in the compiler. This is a > deal-breaker as we cannot use Crosswalk because it adds 18mb to APK size (we > really need to stay below the 50MB cellular APK size limit for market reach). > We need our CSS3 transforms to be above 1-10fps for stability and the above > tweak has allowed us to maintain compatibility and performance for Android > 4.x and above (this issue affects all supported Android versions since CSS3 > transforms are slow without Crosswalk). Having the getsettings API removed > from Cordova 3.72 and above (and no replacement API exists) means that we > cannot upgrade our Cordova until this issue is resolved and will have to go > without patch for CVE-2015-1835. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
