javascript in service #67

Hi RedFolder,

This is more of a suggestion, can you try including rhino in the service? This might help executing javascript code in android background service.

Hope this might be a good tip, I am trying to do something similar, lets see if I could achieve it.

Regards,

What is Rhino? Is it JavaScript engine (similar to V8)?

If so, can you provide links to it. Yes it would be a great idea ... something I has a quick look at a few years back. I've done very little dev with the plugin for sometime - but this might be worth exploring

Well due to time contraint I ended up doing my stuff in java. For your reference here is a simple implementation of rhino http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3995897/rhino-how-to-call-js-function-from-java I suppose this link has 1.6 version of the build http://java2s.com/Code/Jar/r/Downloadrhino16R7jar.htm latest is 1.7.x but for now this will do.

It's an interesting idea .... though I'm not sure that Rhino is the way to go.

Looking at the docs page (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Rhino/Overview) it supports "all the features of JavaScript 1.7" (I think that was released about 10 years ago).

Given it's age I suspect if I implemented into the BGS that, due to the version differences, there would be a lot of inconsistency between the BGS & Cordova webview.

I'd suspect there is an answer - I've just never had the time (or drive) to investigate it

lets see if we could get some other engine to run. I thought for basic ajax call and other stuffs we could use rhino.. Wouldn't that be the case why most ppl go for background service?

como implementar el senso de ubicaciones de usuario ?

Red-Folder commented 7 years ago

No plans to implement this. I largely see this plugin being depreciated due to the availability of Service Workers/ Progressive Web Apps, etc.
