event not fire, and have to wait before call plugin API

[floatinghotpot]

I am trying to use cordova plugin in mobile chrome app, but encounter some problems. I have to wait a few seconds before calling plugin API, or else it won't work.

as mentioned in answer to other issue, the doc is loaded and deviceready is fired before background.js is loaded. why I have to wait before call plugin API?

function initAd() {
    if(AdMob) AdMob.createBanner({ adId: admobid.banner, autoShow:true, isTesting:true });
}

function deviceReady() {
    if(! AdMob) {
    alert('admob plugin not ready');
        return;
    }

    // if call the plugin API immediately, it won't work, if delay 3000ms, it works, why?
    // initAd();

    window.setTimeout(initAd, 3000);
}

function onAppLoad() {
    if(typeof window.cordova !== 'undefined') { // for mobile chrome app
        deviceReady();

    } else if ((/(ipad|iphone|ipod|android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent))) { // for normal cordova app
        document.addEventListener('deviceready', deviceReady, false);

    } else { // for test in pc browser
        deviceReady();
    }
}

$(document).ready(onAppLoad);
//document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', onAppLoad);
//onAppLoad();

Hmm, few things going on here it seems. For mobile chrome app, you don't need to listen for deviceready. Instead, you should listen for load or DOMContentLoaded. I see you've tried that in your commented out code though. Did the event never fire, or was something else going on with it?

I've fixed the event fire issue by removing <script src='cordova.js'></script> from html, as I read that it's injected automatically by cca. Now the doc ready event is fired properly.

Another issue still exists. I have to call window.setTimeout() before call the plugin API, or else the native code won't be called.

Hi guys, I have just downloaded your code 'floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-admob'. I am using Intel XDK and have just finished creating my first app. I want to add AdMob on my app and your code requires an external cordova.js Do you have that cordova.js please mate? Thanks in Advance

@Rayz100, as your question not related with CCA and what I ask here, could you please create another issue or question, on my project issue tracker page? Let's discuss your question there.
