Android Configuration

The config.xml file controls various Cordova settings. These apply across the application, and per CordovaWebView instance.

<preference>

Various other preferences (as <preference> tags) default on not breaking existing apps. The available preferences are:

• useBrowserHistory (boolean, defaults to true): set to false if you want to use the history shim that was used to work around the hashtag error present in Android 3.x prior to the history fix. (Note: This setting will be deprecated in April 2013)

• loadingDialog: Display a native loading dialog when loading the app. The value's format is Title, Message

• loadingPageDialog: Display a native loading dialog when loading sub-pages. The value's format is Title, Message

• errorUrl: Set the error page for your application. Should be located in your Android project in file://android_asset/www/

• backgroundColor: Set the background color for your application. Supports a four-byte hex value, with the first byte representing alpha value, and the following three bytes with standard RGB values. For example, 0x00000000 is black.

• loadUrlTimeoutValue: How much time Cordova should wait before throwing a timeout error on the application.

• keepRunning (boolean, defaults to true): Determines whether Cordova stays running in the background. Note: setting this to false will not kill the app after a pause event, it will only halt execution of code in the cordova webview while the app is in the background.

• splashscreen: The name of the file minus its extension in the res/drawable directory. If you have multiple assets, they all must share this common name in their respective directories.

• disallowOverscroll (boolean, defaults to false): set to true to disable the glow when a user scrolls beyond the edge of the webview.
