Cordova 2.2.0.jar doesn't work on Android 4.2.2

Question

I am newbie to PhoneGap. I want to develope android app with PhoneGap. As a beginner, i referred this link to create sample app for practicing. Here i have used Cordova 2.2.0.jar for developing application.The problem is that app runs successfully on Android<4.4.2. On android 4.2.2, it keep on showing message of "Connecting to device" as shown in demo. I also downloaded Cordova 3.3.0 from this page. According to PhoneGap guide there should be ant jar in Android package's /framework directory but there is no ant jar file in that folder.Therefore i decided to use Cordova 2.2.0.jar. I don't know what is this problem. Please help me to solve this problem. Thank you.

Answer 1

As you are starting with phonegap, I would suggest you just forget about version 2.2.

The link you provided about phonegap 3 is not for creating a new phonegap app, but to integrate a webwiew using phonegap in an existing larger native android app.

To create a new phonegap app, you should follow the phonegap CLI guide

Or maybe you could use Netbeans version 7.4 or more which now have a "new cordova application" assistant.
