Next Steps For developers who have an understanding of how to use the Cordova CLI and make use of plugins, there are a few things you may want to consider researching next to build better, more performant Cordova applications. The following document offers advice on various topics relating to best practices, testing, upgrades, and other topics, but is not meant to be prescriptive. Consider this your launching point for your growth as a Cordova developer. Also, if you see something that can be i

menubutton The event fires when the user presses the menu button. Applying an event handler overrides the default menu button behavior. Quick Example document.addEventListener("menubutton", onMenuKeyDown, false); function onMenuKeyDown() { // Handle the back button }

Android Plugin Development Guide This section provides details for how to implement native plugin code on the Android platform. Before reading this, see the Plugin Development Guide for an overview of the plugin's structure and its common JavaScript interface. This section continues to demonstrate the sample echo plugin that communicates from the Cordova webview to the native platform and back. For another sample, see also the comments in CordovaPlugin.java. Android plugins are based on Cordova

Config.xml Config.xml is a global configuration file that controls many aspects of a cordova application's behavior. This platform-agnostic XML file is arranged based on the W3C's Packaged Web Apps (Widgets) specification, and extended to specify core Cordova API features, plugins, and platform-specific settings. For projects created with the Cordova CLI (described in The Command-Line Interface), this file can be found in the top-level directory: app/config.xml Note that before version 3.3.1-0

cordova platform command Synopsis Manage cordova platforms - allowing you to add, remove, update, list and check for updates.

BlackBerry 10 Plugins This section provides details for how to implement native plugin code on the BlackBerry 10 platform. Before reading this, see Application Plugins for an overview of the plugin's structure and its common JavaScript interface. This section continues to demonstrate the sample echo plugin that communicates from the Cordova webview to the native platform and back. The Echo plugin basically returns whatever string the window.echo function sends from JavaScript: window.echo = fun

Windows Phone 8 Platform Guide This guide shows how to set up your SDK development environment to deploy Cordova apps for Windows Phone devices. It focuses on Windows Phone 8, but provides additional details on how to support Windows Phone 7. It shows how to use either Windows Phone-specific shell tools to generate and build apps, or the cross-platform Cordova CLI discussed in The Command-Line Interface. (See the Overview for a comparison of these development workflows.) This section also shows
