[jira] [Commented] (CB-3225) Android webview does not support CustomEvent constructor

["Andrew Grieve (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3225?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13640793#comment-13640793 ] 

Andrew Grieve commented on CB-3225:
-----------------------------------

I don't think we should add shims like this to the core cordova JS. Just because there would be a tonne of them in the end, and not all apps need them. Would be better to package this up as a separate cordova plugin (maybe we can have a universe of cordova "shim" plugins?), or to encourage apps to use something like modernizr to deal with shims.

> CustomEvent appears to be a shortcut for {{createEvent("CustomEvent")}} and {{initCustomEvent}}.
> Code which uses CustomEvent works correctly on iOS (and Chrome desktop) but fails when run on Android.
> I have a small browser shim for this which I'll add to the android platform.js
