App/WebviewCore crash on nfc.share

[GalumphingCallooh]

App crashes everytime the share function is called on certain devices. Seems to be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7109.

Cordova: 3.6.4 Device: Samsung S3, AT&T, 4.1.2 (JellyBean) Logcat crash output:

D/NfcPlugin(29397): execute shareTag
W/PluginManager(29397): THREAD WARNING: exec() call to NfcPlugin.shareTag blocked the main thread for 71ms. Plugin should use CordovaInterface.getThreadPool().

Webkit code:

var msg = [ndef.uriRecord('http://google.com')];
nfc.share(msg);

@MrFancyMonocle I can't duplicate the issue.

Cordova 4.2.0 cordova-android 3.6.4 (from cordova platform ls)

Samsung S3 (GT-I9300), AT&T (or maybe unlocked, no sim), Android 4.3 Google Nexus S (Samsung), unlocked, Android 4.1.2

I didn't see Cordova 3.6.4 in npm view cordova versions, so I used 3.6.3-0.2.13. Everything worked OK.

Can you see if you can duplicate this on your hardware with my sample project? https://github.com/don/nfc-share

Usually it's OK to ignore that threading warning. I'm reluctant to add more threading to this method since startNdefPush also creates a thread. If you patch the shareTag to use the cordova thread pool and it fixes your problem, please submit a pull request.

Also, 4.1.2 is pretty ancient. Hasn't AT&T released an update for this?

Can't duplicate. Re-open issue and include sample code if it's still a problem.
