Success with Crosswalk Engine (and webview plugins for 3.5.0)
I've managed now to get cordova-android up and running with Joe's
pluggable_webview branch, and the cordova-crosswalk-engine plugin, passing
all of the mobile spec tests.
(I had a few tests in Contacts and Geolocation failing, but those were
entirely due to timeouts; Contacts is *very* slow)
My build is ARM-only, and there are some packaging issues to work through
still, but I'm really happy with this so far. Its pretty amazing to just
have to install a plugin, and have it swap in a modern webview, with, say,
WebGL support out of the box.
It's all dependent right now on the mods to cordova-android, which I'd
really like to get out as part of 3.5.0. I'm going to try to merge that in
soon, to give everyone a chance to test it out and make sure there aren't
any regressions.

How? With something like this?
"Even their dev process is slow. With Famo.us, we make you sign an NDA so
that you can't complain about how we change our API."
In all seriousness, we're cool with anyone writing a third-party WebView
and I think that devs don't want to be locked in. Proprietary Javascript
is so 2007.

So awesome and exciting! Thanks Joe (and Ian, and everyone else!)
Hope the famo.us guys (or at least, their marketing team) doesn't come
after ya'll.

Ian,
If possible, could you please merge your patches into Joe's cordova-crosswalk-engine repo?
https://github.com/infil00p/cordova-crosswalk-engine
Once your patches merged, I can close my PR (https://github.com/infil00p/cordova-crosswalk-engine/pull/7). And we are synced on the same page.
Based the this, I would like to look at some TODOs mentioned in 4/26 hangout, such as:
- static vs dynamic xwalk lib
- intel vs arm binary apk targets for CLI. Two android platforms, or just two build targets?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
-ningxin

This is awesome. Thx for tackling Ian/Joe. This is easily one of the most
exciting new features this year. (Esp once Gecko gets stable enough to bolt
in.)
