+Getting Started with Windows Phone 7
+==================================
+
+This guide describes how to set up your development environment for Cordova and run a sample application. Note that Cordova used to be called PhoneGap, so some of the sites still use the old PhoneGap name.
+
+Video Tutorials:

+- [Cordova and Windows Phone deep dive](http://www.youtube.com/v/BJFX1GRUXj8?autoplay=1)
+
+
+1. Requirements
+---------------
+
+- Windows 7 or Windows Vista with SP2
+
+Note: Running in VM has issues, if you are on a Mac, you will need to setup a bootcamp partition with Windows 7 or Vista
+
+Necessary for Installing on Device and Submitting to Market Place:
+
+- Become an [App Hub member](http://create.msdn.com/en-US/home/membership).
+
+
+2. Install SDK + Cordova
+----------------------------
+
+- Download and install [Windows Phone SDK](http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27570/)
+- Download the latest copy of [Cordova](http://phonegap.com/download) and extract its contents. We will be working with the subfolder: lib\windows-phone\
+- copy the file CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip to the folder : \My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\
+( if the template file does not exist, you will need to build it. See 2.1 below )
+if you have just installed VisualStudio, you should launch it once to create this folder
+if you prefer, you may add the project instead to the "Silverlight for Windows Phone" subfolder of "Visual C#". This is up to you, and only affects where the project template is shown when creating a new project. Also, You may need to create this folder.
+
+
+2.1. Building the template
+-----------------------------
+( note, this step may not be required. If the lib\windows-phone directory already contains a file CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip then you may skip this step )
+- Open the file lib\windows-phone\templates\standalone\CordovaSolution.sln in Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone
+- From the file menu, select 'Export Template...'
+- Choose template type 'Project template'
+- Give the exported template a name, ex. CordovaStarter-2.1.0 will produce CordovaStarter-2.1.0.zip
+- Optionally, you may add a description, icon image, and Preview image. These are what is displayed in Visual Studio in the 'New Project' dialog.-
+- Note: If you select ( 'Automatically import the template ... ') then you will not need to copy the .zip file over as outlined in step 2.
+- Press 'Finish'
+
+
+
+
+3. Setup New Project
+--------------------
+
+- Open Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone and choose **New Project**.
+- Select **CordovaStarter**. ( the version number will be displayed in the template description )
+- - note: If you do not see it, you may have to select the top level 'Visual C#' to see it
+- Give your project a name, and select OK.
+
+ 
+
+
+4. Review the project structure
+-------------------------------
+
+- The 'www' folder contains your Cordova html/js/css and any other resources included in your app.
+- Any content that you add here needs to be a part of the Visual Studio project, and it must be set as content.
+
+ 
+
+
+5. Build and Deploy to Emulator
+-------------------------------
+
+- Make sure to have **Windows Phone Emulator** selected in the top drop-down menu.
+- Hit the green **play button** beside the Windows Phone Emulator drop-down menu to start debugging or press F5.
+
+ 
+ 
+
+
+6. Build your project for the device
+------------------------------------
+
+In order to test your application on a device, the device must be registered. Click [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg588378(v=VS.92).aspx) to read documentation on deploying and testing on your Windows Phone.
+
+- Make sure your phone is connected, and the screen is unlocked
+- In Visual Studio, select 'Windows Phone Device' from the top drop-down menu.
+- Hit the green **play button** beside the drop-down menu to start debugging or press F5.
+
+ 
+

+Getting Started with Windows Phone 8
+==================================
+
+This guide describes how to set up your development environment for Cordova and run a sample application. Note that Cordova used to be called PhoneGap, so some of the sites still use the old PhoneGap name.
+
+Note: Applications built with Apache Cordova for Windows Phone 8 will only run on Windows Phone 8 devices. If you are looking to target both 7.5 AND 8 devices, then you should be using Apache Cordova for Windows Phone 7, which does not have all the new shiny features included in IE10, but implements the same APIs.
+
+1. System Requirements
+---------------
+
+- Operating System:
+ - Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro
+
+- Hardware:
+ - 6.5 GB of free hard disk space
+ - 4 GB RAM
+ - 64-bit (x64) CPU
+
+- Windows Phone 8 Emulator:
+ - Windows 8 Pro edition or greater
+ - Requires a processor that supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
+
+- SDK + IDE ( Visual Studio )
+ - VS Express for Windows Phone ( included in the SDK )
+ - Visual Studio Professional, Premium, or Ultimate
+
+Note: Running in Virtual Machine might present some challenges. You can read this blog post that gives insight on the solutions to develop for Windows Phone on a Mac: http://aka.ms/BuildaWP8apponaMac
+
+Necessary for Installing on Device and Submitting to Market Place:
+
+- • Register for the [Windows Phone Developer Center](http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/publish)
+
+
+2. Install SDK + Cordova
+----------------------------
+
+- Download and install [Windows Phone SDK](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35471)
+- Download the latest copy of [Cordova](http://phonegap.com/download) and extract its contents. We will be working with the subfolder: lib\windows-phone-8\
+- copy the file CordovaWP8AppFull-x.x.x.zip to the folder : \My Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\
+
+
+
+
+
+2.1. Building the template
+-----------------------------
+Note: this step may not be required. If the lib\windows-phone directory already contains a file CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip then you may skip this step )
+In order to simplify the development process, Cordova comes with a Visual Studio template that allows creating a Cordova application rapidly. This template can be modified if needed and the below steps indicate how to proceed if you want to modify and re-generate the template.
+
+- Open the file lib\windows-phone\templates\standalone\CordovaSolution.sln in Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone
+- From the file menu, select 'Export Template...'
+- Choose template type 'Project template'
+- Give the exported template a name, ex. CordovaStarter-2.1.0 will produce CordovaStarter-2.1.0.zip
+- Optionally, you may add a description, icon image, and Preview image. These are what is displayed in Visual Studio in the 'New Project' dialog.-
+- Note: If you select ( 'Automatically import the template ... ') then you will not need to copy the .zip file over as outlined in step 2.
+- Press 'Finish'
+
+2.2 About the different templates
+--------------------
+Apache Cordova for Windows Phone 8 supports 2 different types of templates.
+The 'Full' template includes a pre-built dll containing all the framework code for Apache Cordova. This template will create a project that is easy to update, as you can simply replace the JavaScript and .dll in your project and rebuild when a new version comes out. The downside of this approach is that because the dll contains ALL of the Cordova API, it requires all available permissions even if the APIs are not called. When you submit an app to the App store, Microsoft will run a static analyzer against your application, and detect that you require all available permissions, and place a disclaimer on you app that is presented to the user when they choose to install your app. Users may be discouraged if they see a required permission that does not make sense ( ie, why does this drawing program need access to my media library and contacts ).
+
+The 'Stand-Alone' template includes ALL the source code for Apache Cordova. This project is easier to fine-tune to use just the features you need, thereby working around the permissions issues of the 'Full' template, however this type of project will be more difficult to update, as you will need to update individual files within your project and manage any dependancies yourself. In order to exclude an API you are not using, you can simply right-click-select the Command class file in Visual Studio and choose 'do not include in project'.
+
+
+
+3. Setup New Project
+--------------------
+
+- Open Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone and choose **New Project**.
+- Select **CordovaWP8AppFull** or **CordovaWP8AppStandalone**. ( the version number will be displayed in the template description )
+- Give your project a name, and select OK.
+
+
+
+
+
+4. Review the project structure
+-------------------------------
+
+- The 'www' folder contains your Cordova html/js/css and any other resources included in your app.
+- Any content that you add here needs to be a part of the Visual Studio project, and it must be set as content.
+
+
+
+
+5. Build and Deploy to Emulator
+-------------------------------
+
+- Make sure to have **Windows Phone Emulator** selected in the top drop-down menu.
+- Hit the green **play button** beside the Windows Phone Emulator drop-down menu to start debugging or press F5.
+
+
+
+
+6. Build your project for the device
+------------------------------------
+
+In order to test your application on a device, the device must be registered. Click [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg588378(v=VS.92).aspx) to read documentation on deploying and testing on your Windows Phone 8.
+
+- Make sure your phone is connected, and the screen is unlocked
+- In Visual Studio, select 'Device' from the top drop-down menu.
+- Hit the green **play button** beside the drop-down menu to start debugging or press F5.
+
+
+
+
+Done!

+# Developing a Plugin on Android
+
+Writing a plugin requires an understanding of the architecture of Cordova-Android. Cordova-Android consists
+of an Android WebView with hooks attached to it. These plugins are represented as class mappings in the config.xml
+file.
+
+A plugin will consist of at least a single Java class that extends the `CordovaPlugin` class. A plugin must override one
+of the `execute` methods from `CordovaPlugin`. In addition to this, there is a best practice that
+the plugin should handle pause and resume events, and should handle message passing between plugins.
+Plugins with long-running requests, background activity (e.g. playing media), listeners or internal state should implement the `onReset()` method as well. This method is run when the `WebView` navigates to a new page or refreshes, which reloads the Javascript.
+
+## Plugin Class Mapping
+
+The JavaScript portion of a plugin always uses the `cordova.exec` method as follows:
+
+ exec(<successFunction>, <failFunction>, <service>, <action>, [<args>]);
+
+This will marshal a request from the WebView to the Android native
+side, more or less boiling down to calling the `action` method on the
+`service` class, with the arguments passed in the `args` Array.
+
+Whether you distribute your plugin as Java file or as a JAR of its own, the plugin must be added to the `config.xml` file in your Cordova-Android application's `res/xml/` folder.
+
+ <plugin name="<service_name>" value="<full_name_including_namespace>"/>
+
+The service name should match what you use in the JavaScript `exec` call, and the value will be the full name of the Java class including the namespace. Without this added, the plugin may compile but
+will not be reachable by Cordova.
+
+## Writing an Android Java Plugin
+
+We have JavaScript to fire off a plugin request to the native side. We
+have the Android Java plugin mapped properly via the `config.xml` file.
+So what does the final Android Java Plugin class look like?
+
+What gets dispatched to the plugin via JavaScript's `exec` function gets
+passed into the Plugin class's `execute` method. Most `execute`
+implementations look like this:
+
+ @Override
+ public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
+ if ("beep".equals(action)) {
+ this.beep(args.getLong(0));
+ callbackContext.success();
+ return true;
+ }
+ return false; // Returning false results in a "MethodNotFound" error.
+ }
+
+We compare the value of the `action` parameter, and dispatch
+the request off to a (private) method in the class, optionally passing
+some of the parameters to the method.
+
+When catching exceptions and returning errors, it's important that the error we return to JavaScript match the Java exception as much as possible, for clarity.
+
+### Threading
+
+JavaScript in the WebView does *not* run on the UI thread. It runs on
+the WebCore thread. The `execute` method also runs on the WebCore thread.
+
+If you need to interact with the UI, you should use the following:
+
+ @Override
+ public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, final CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
+ if ("beep".equals(action)) {
+ final long duration = args.getLong(0);
+ cordova.getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
+ public void run() {
+ ...
+ callbackContext.success(); // Thread-safe.
+ }
+ });
+ return true;
+ }
+ return false;
+ }
+
+If you do not need to run on the UI thread, but do not want to block the WebCore thread:
+
+ @Override
+ public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, final CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
+ if ("beep".equals(action)) {
+ final long duration = args.getLong(0);
+ cordova.getThreadPool().execute(new Runnable() {
+ public void run() {
+ ...
+ callbackContext.success(); // Thread-safe.
+ }
+ });
+ return true;
+ }
+ return false;
+ }
+
+### Echo Android Plugin Example
+
+We would add the following to our config.xml:
+
+ <plugin name="Echo" value="org.apache.cordova.plugin.Echo" />
+
+Then we would add the following file to
+`src/org/apache/cordova/plugin/Echo.java` inside our Cordova-Android
+application:
+
+ package org.apache.cordova.plugin;
+
+ import org.apache.cordova.api.CordovaPlugin;
+ import org.apache.cordova.api.PluginResult;
+ import org.json.JSONArray;
+ import org.json.JSONException;
+ import org.json.JSONObject;
+
+ /**
+ * This class echoes a string called from JavaScript.
+ */
+ public class Echo extends CordovaPlugin {
+ @Override
+ public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
+ if (action.equals("echo")) {
+ String message = args.getString(0);
+ this.echo(message);
+ return true;
+ }
+ return false;
+ }
+
+ private void echo(String message, CallbackContext callbackContext) {
+ if (message != null && message.length() > 0) {
+ callbackContext.success(message);
+ } else {
+ callbackContext.error("Expected one non-empty string argument.");
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+Let's take a look at the code. At the top we have all of the necessary
+Cordova `imports`. Our class extends from `CordovaPlugin`. We override
+the execute() method in order to recieve messages from exec(). Our method
+first compares against `action`: this plugin only supports
+one action, the `echo` action. Any other action will return false, which
+results in an error of type `INVALID_ACTION` - this will translate
+into an error callback invocation on the JavaScript side. Next, we grab
+the echo string using the `getString` method on our `args`, telling it
+we want to get the 0th parameter in the parameter array. We do a bit of
+parameter checking: make sure it is not `null`, and make sure it is not
+a zero-length string. If it is, we call callbackContext.error() (which,
+by now, you should know will invoke the error callback). If all of those
+checks pass, then we call callbackContext.success(), and pass in the
+`message` string we received as a parameter. This will finally translate
+into a success callback invocation on the JavaScript side. It will also
+pass the `message` parameter as a parameter into the JavaScript success
+callback function.
+
+## Debugging Plugins
+
+Eclipse can be used to debug an Android project, and the plugins can be debugged if the Java source is included in the project. Only the latest version of the Android Dev Tools is known to allow source code attachment to JAR dependencies, this is not fully supported at this time.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+* Plugins have access to a `CordovaInterface` object. This object has access to the Android `Activity` that is running the application. This is the `Context` required to launch
+a new Android `Intent`. The `CordovaInterface` allows plugins to start an `Activity` for a result, and to set the callback plugin for when the `Intent` comes back to the application. This is important, since the
+`Intent`s system is how Android communicates between processes.
+* Plugins do not have direct access to the `Context` as they have in the past. The legacy `ctx` member is deprecated, and will be removed six months after 2.0 is released. All the methods that `ctx` has exist on the `Context`, so both `getContext()` and `getActivity()` are capable of returning the proper object required.
+
+## Use the Source
+
+One of the best ways to prepare yourself to write your own plugin is to
+have a [look at other plugins that already exist](https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/tree/master/framework/src/org/apache/cordova).
+
+You should also read through the comments in [CordovaPlugin.java](https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/api/CordovaPlugin.java).

+Developing a Plugin on Bada
+===========================
+
+Plugins are only supported on Bada 2.0 and above. Bada 1.2 does not support plugins.
+
+The Bada implementation is a full javascript implementation. Therefore, adding a custom plugin involves updating CordovaJS with your plugin code. Follow these steps to add a simple _Hello World_ plugin:
+
+1. Clone the CordovaJS repository
+
+ git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cordova-js.git
+
+2. Create a new javascript file under __lib/bada/plugin/bada/__ and name it _HelloWorld.js_. Add the following content:
+
+ function HelloWorld() {
+ }
+
+ HelloWorld.prototype.printHello = function(success, fail, arg) {
+ alert(Osp.Core.StringHelper('Hello %1', arg[0]));
+ }
+
+ module.exports = new HelloWorld();
+
+3. Add a link to your newly created plugin in __lib/bada/platform.js__ under the objects property:
+
+ objects: {
+ ...
+ HelloWorld: {
+ 'cordova/plugin/bada/HelloWorld'
+ },
+ ...
+ }
+ ...
+4. Update the plugin list under __lib/bada/exec.js__ to include your plugin
+
+ var plugins = {
+ ...
+ "HelloWorld": require('cordova/plugin/bada/HelloWorld')
+ };
+5. Now you can write your user-facing javascript however you like but remember that in order for your plugin to execute you need to call the following method
+
+ exec(success, fail, 'HelloWorld', 'printHello', ['Jackson!']);
+
+ success is the success callback that gets executed when the plugin succeeds
+ fail is the failure callback that gets executed if the plugin fails
+ 'HelloWorld' is the name of your plugin
+ 'printHello' is your plugin action
+ Finally, the last argument is your plugin parameters (if any).
+
+6. Run the following command to generate the new common javascript (make sure you have the jake npm module installed)
+
+ jake
+
+7. Copy the newly generated javascript under __pkg/cordova.bada.js__ to your Bada project under __Res/js__
+
+6. That is it! You can now add new Bada plugins and implement the many features that are not currently supported by Cordova Bada.

+Developing a Plugin on BlackBerry
+=================================
+
+## How to make the Echo plugin on Blackberry
+
+In this article, we will explore how to develop the Echo plugin on BlackBerry. If you haven't read the
+top level article about the JavaScript part of the plugin, it would be best if you read that first
+and then this article. In addition, please download the [Cordova Blackberry repo](https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-blackberry-webworks.git;a=summary).
+
+To note, the Cordova-BlackBerry project allows you to deploy to BlackBerry devices like the
+Torch, Bold, etc and as well as the Playbook. There exists a distinction between deploying to
+normal BlackBerry hand held devices (ie, Torch and Bold) and the Playbook. The code base between
+the two are separate so when you develop for one, you have to duplicate your efforts for the other!
+Therefore in this article, the focus will be on the hand held devices and not the tablet. In the future,
+this guide should cover both platforms.
+
+Continuing on from the previous article, the Echo plugin is essentially returning whatever message a user
+provides to the `window.echo` function.
+
+The Echo function:
+
+ window.echo = function(str, callback) {
+ cordova.exec(callback, function(err) {
+ callback('Nothing to echo.');
+ }, "Echo", "echo", [str]);
+ };
+
+## Modifying plugins.xml
+
+This file resides in your project's www folder and contains all of the references to the plugins that
+your Cordova project uses. We are going to add an additional reference so that when cordova.exec is called,
+Cordova will know how to map the "Echo" argument of `cordova.exec` to the Echo class that we want to write natively.
+
+ <plugins>
+ ...
+ <plugin name="Echo" value="org.apache.cordova.echo.Echo"/>
+ ...
+ </plugins>
+
+## Adding Echo.java
+
+If you notice the structure of the value attribute, you'll see a defined path that leads to the Echo
+plugin. In the root folder of the Cordova BlackBerry WebWorks repo, look for a folder called framework.
+This folder contains all of the source code that runs natively on the BlackBerry. cd into the folder
+structure until you reach the path: `framework/ext/src/org/apache/cordova`. At this point, you'll see
+all of the plugin folders and inside each folder is the plugins' source code. So, we will add
+the folder echo to `framework/ext/src/org/apache/cordova/echo` and create a file called `Echo.java`
+at `framework/ext/src/org/apache/cordova/echo/Echo.java`.
+
+## Writing Echo.java
+
+The basic idea of writing a plugin is to create a class that extends the Plugin class and have
+a method called execute to return a PluginResult class. Any call to cordova.exec will pass in
+the action that we want to execute within the class as well as the arguments. In this case,
+"echo" is the action we want to execute within the class "Echo" and [str] are the arguments we are passing in.
+
+ package org.apache.cordova.echo;
+
+ import org.apache.cordova.api.Plugin;
+ import org.apache.cordova.api.PluginResult;
+ import org.apache.cordova.json4j.JSONArray;
+ import org.apache.cordova.json4j.JSONException;
+ import org.apache.cordova.json4j.JSONObject;
+ /**
+ * A simple plugin to demonstrate how to build a plugin for Blackberry
+ * Basically echos back the msg that a user calls to this plugin
+ */
+ public final class Echo extends Plugin {
+
+ public static final String echo = "echo";
+
+ public PluginResult execute(String action, JSONArray args, String callbackId) {
+ PluginResult result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.INVALID_ACTION, "Echo: Invalid action:" + action);
+ if(action.equals(echo)){
+ try {
+ String theMsg = args.getString(0);
+ if(theMsg!= null || theMsg.length()>0){
+ result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, theMsg);
+ }else{
+ result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR, "Nothing to echo.");
+ }
+ } catch (JSONException e) {
+ result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.JSON_EXCEPTION, e.getMessage());
+ }
+ }
+
+ return result;
+ }
+
+ }
+
+So if we look at the code above, we can see that within the execute method, we are first looking for
+what actions are coming in. The Echo plugin has only one action, "echo" so we will be only checking for
+that. If our plugin had more actions, it's simply a matter of adding more if-conditionals to check
+for those actions.
+
+We are then going to grab the message coming in from the arguments which is supplied by the args parameter.
+We can grab the first argument by simply doing `String theMsg = args.getString(0);`.
+
+We will do some error checking and if the message looks okay, we will instantiate a new PluginResult with
+an ok status: PluginResult.Status.OK and return the message: theMsg. After this, we will then return the
+result which will then pass back to JavaScript to be fired in the success callback. If something should fail,
+we can return various status exceptions like PluginResult.Status.ERROR, PluginResult.Status.JSON_EXCEPTION,
+or PluginResult.Status.INVALID_ACTION. When these types of results are passed back, they will fire the fail
+callback in JavaScript.
+
+## Updating the .jar in your project's www folder
+
+The addition of the Echo.java needs to be updated in your project so to build the .jar file, cd
+to the root directory of the BlackBerry WebWorks repo. Use the ant command:
+
+ ant update -Dproject.path="~/path_to_my_project"
+
+This will build a new .jar file in the build/ext folder. Copy the `build/ext/cordova.jar` file into your
+project/www/ext folder.
+
+If all goes well, that should allow you to use the Echo plugin in BlackBerry.

+# Plugin Development Guide
+
+A Cordova plugin bridges a bit of functionality between the WebView
+powering a Cordova application and the native platform the Cordova
+application is running on. Plugins are composed of a single JavaScript
+interface used across all platforms, and native implementations
+following platform-specific Plugin interfaces that the JavaScript will
+call into. It should be noted that all of the core Cordova APIs are
+implemented using this exact architecture.
+
+This guide will go through each step necessary to write a simple Echo
+Plugin. The Echo Plugin will pass a string from JavaScript and send it
+into the native environment for the supported platforms. The native code
+will then return the same string back into the callbacks inside the
+plugin's JavaScript.
+
+This guide should give anyone the necessary overview and level of
+detail to write more complex plugins.
+
+## JavaScript
+
+The entry point for any plugin is JavaScript. The reason developers use
+Cordova is so they can use and write JavaScript, not Objective-C,
+not Java, not C#. The JavaScript interface for your plugin is the
+front-facing and arguably most important part of your Cordova plugin.
+
+You can structure your plugin's JavaScript however you like. The one
+thing you _must_ use to communicate between the Cordova JavaScript
+ and native environments is the `cordova.exec` function. Here is an example:
+
+ cordova.exec(function(winParam) {}, function(error) {}, "service",
+ "action", ["firstArgument", "secondArgument", 42,
+ false]);
+
+The parameters explained in more detail:
+
+1. `function(winParam) {}` - Success function callback. Assuming your
+ `exec` call completes successfully, this function will be invoked
+ (optionally with any parameters you pass back to it)
+2. `function(error) {}` - Error function callback. If the operation does
+ not complete successfully, this function will be invoked (optionally
+ with an error parameter)
+3. `"service"` - The service name to call into on the native side. This
+ will be mapped to a native class. More on this in the native guides
+ below
+4. `"action"` - The action name to call into. This is picked up by the
+ native class receiving the `exec` call, and, depending on the
+ platform, essentially maps to a class's method. For more detail
+ please check out the native guides located at the end of this article.
+5. `[/* arguments */]` - Arguments to get passed into the native
+ environment
+
+### Echo Plugin JavaScript Example
+
+ window.echo = function(str, callback) {
+ cordova.exec(callback, function(err) {
+ callback('Nothing to echo.');
+ }, "Echo", "echo", [str]);
+ };
+
+Let's dive into this. The plugin attaches itself to `window`,
+specifically to the `echo` function. Plugin users would then use it as
+follows:
+
+ window.echo("echome", function(echoValue) {
+ alert(echoValue == "echome"); // should alert true.
+ });
+
+First, let's take a look at the last three arguments to the `exec`
+function. We will be calling the `Echo` "service", requesting the `echo`
+"action", and passing an array of arguments containing the echo string,
+which is the first parameter into the `window.echo` function.
+
+The success callback passed into `exec` is simply a reference to the
+callback function that `window.echo` takes. We do a bit more for the
+error callback: if the native side fires off the error callback, we
+simply invoke the success callback and pass into it a "default" string.
+
+## Native
+
+Once you have defined a JavaScript for your plugin, you need to
+complement it with at least one native implementation. Below are
+specific guides for each platform Cordova supports. The below guides
+will continue on building the simple Echo Plugin example we started in
+this guide.

+
+# Developing a Plugin on iOS
+
+A plugin is an Objective-C class that extends the `CDVPlugin` class.
+
+Each plugin class must be registered using the config.xml file, as a <plugin> tag under the <plugins> key.
+
+## Plugin Class Mapping
+
+The JavaScript portion of a plugin always uses the `cordova.exec` method as follows:
+
+ exec(<successFunction>, <failFunction>, <service>, <action>, [<args>]);
+
+This will marshal a request from the UIWebView to the iOS native side, more or less boiling down to calling the `action` method on the `service` class, with the arguments passed in the `args` Array.
+
+Plugins with long-running requests, background activity (e.g. playing media), listeners or internal state should implement the `onReset` method and stop or clean up those activities. This method is run when the `UIWebView` navigates to a new page or refreshes, which reloads the Javascript.
+
+The plugin must be added under the `<plugins>` tag of the `config.xml` file in your Cordova-iOS application's project folder.
+
+ <plugin name="service_name" value="PluginClassName" />
+
+The key `service_name` should match what you use in the JavaScript `exec` call, and the value will be the name of the Objective-C class of the plugin. Without this added, the plugin may compile but will not be reachable by Cordova.
+
+## Writing an iOS Cordova Plugin
+
+We have JavaScript fire off a plugin request to the native side. We have the iOS Objective-C plugin mapped properly via the `config.xml` file. So what does the final iOS Objective-C Plugin class look like?
+
+What gets dispatched to the plugin via JavaScript's `exec` function gets passed into the corresponding Plugin class's `action` method. A plugin method has this signature:
+
+ - (void)myMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
+ {
+ CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = nil;
+ NSString* myarg = [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0];
+
+ if (myarg != nil) {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK];
+ } else {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_ERROR messageAsString:@"Arg was null"];
+ }
+ [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
+ }
+
+1. [CDVInvokedUrlCommand.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVInvokedUrlCommand.h)
+2. [CDVPluginResult.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVPluginResult.h)
+3. [CDVCommandDelegate.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVCommandDelegate.h)
+
+
+## Plugin Signatures
+
+The **new signature** supported beginning in **Cordova 2.1.0** is:
+
+ - (void)myMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;
+
+The **old (deprecated)** signature is:
+
+ - (void)myMethod:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;
+
+Basically, the options dictionary has been removed for the new signature, and the callbackId is not the 0th index item for the arguments array, but it is now in a separate property.
+
+## Echo Plugin iOS Plugin
+
+We would add the following to the `<plugins>` tag of the project's `config.xml` file:
+
+ <plugin name="Echo" value="Echo" />
+
+Then we would add the following files (`Echo.h` and `Echo.m`) to the Plugins folder inside our Cordova-iOS
+application folder:
+
+ /********* Echo.h Cordova Plugin Header *******/
+
+ #import <Cordova/CDV.h>
+
+ @interface Echo : CDVPlugin
+
+ - (void)echo:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;
+
+ @end
+
+ /********* Echo.m Cordova Plugin Implementation *******/
+
+ #import "Echo.h"
+ #import <Cordova/CDV.h>
+
+ @implementation Echo
+
+ - (void)echo:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
+ {
+ CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = nil;
+ NSString* echo = [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0];
+
+ if (echo != nil && [echo length] > 0) {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:echo];
+ } else {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_ERROR];
+ }
+
+ [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
+ }
+
+ @end
+
+
+Let's take a look at the code. At the top we have all of the necessary Cordova imports. Our class extends from `CDVPlugin` - very important.
+
+This plugin only supports one action, the `echo` action. First, we grab the echo string using the `objectAtIndex` method on our `args`, telling it we want to get the 0th parameter in the arguments array. We do a bit of parameter checking: make sure it is not `nil`, and make sure it is not a zero-length string.
+
+If it is, we return a `PluginResult` with an `ERROR` status. If all of those checks pass, then we return a `PluginResult` with an `OK` status, and pass in the `echo` string we received in the first place as a parameter.
+
+Finally, we send the result to `self.commandDelegate`, which will execute the JavaScript that will callback to success or failure callbacks of the exec method on the JavaScript side. If the success callback was called, it will pass the `echo` parameter as a parameter.
+
+## Threading
+
+Although UIWebViews run on a dedicated thread, plugin methods are executed on the UI thread. If your plugin requires a non-trivial amount of processing or requires a blocking call, you should make use of a background thread. An example:
+
+ - (void)myPluginMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
+ {
+ // Check command.arguments here.
+ [self.commandDelegate runInBackground:^{
+ NSString* payload = nil;
+ // Some blocking logic...
+ CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:payload];
+ // The sendPluginResult method is thread-safe.
+ [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
+ }];
+ }
+
+
+## Advanced Plugin Functionality
+
+See other methods that you can override in:
+
+1. [CDVPlugin.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVPlugin.h)
+2. [CDVPlugin.m](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVPlugin.m)
+
+For example, you can hook into the pause, resume, app terminate and handleOpenURL events.
+
+## Debugging Plugins
+
+To debug the Objective-C side, you would use Xcode's built in debugger. For JavaScript, on iOS 5.0 you can use [Weinre, an Apache Cordova Project](https://github.com/apache/cordova-weinre) or [iWebInspector, a third-party utility](http://www.iwebinspector.com/)
+
+For iOS 6, you would use Safari 6.0 to simply attach to your app running in the iOS 6 Simulator.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+* Don't forget to add your plugin's mapping to config.xml - if you forgot, an error will be printed to the Xcode console log
+* Don't forget to add any hosts you connect to in the [whitelist](guide_whitelist_index.md.html#Domain%20Whitelist%20Guide) - if you forgot, an error will be printed to the Xcode console log
+
+## Deprecated Plugin Signature Note
+
+The **old (deprecated)** signature is:
+
+ - (void) myMethod:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;
+
+The options parameter for the Objective-C plugin method is being deprecated, and it should not be used. For legacy reasons - the last JavaScript object passed in the args Array will be passed in as the options dictionary of the method in Objective-C. You must make sure that any JavaScript object that is passed in as an element in the args array occurs as the last item in the Array, if not it will throw off the array index of all subsequent parameters of the Array in Objective-C. Only one JavaScript object is supported for the options dictionary, and only the last one encountered will be passed to the native method. It is because of these error-prone reasons that they are being deprecated.

+---
+
+Developing a Plugin on Windows Phone
+====================================
+
+Writing a plugin for Cordova on Windows Phone requires a basic understanding of
+the architecture of Cordova. Cordova-WP7 consists of a WebBrowser which hosts the
+application javascript code and manages native API calls. There is a BaseCommand
+(`WP7CordovaClassLib.Cordova.Commands.BaseCommand`) class in C# which you can extend,
+and it comes with the majority of the 'plumbing' built for you already.
+
+1. Select your project, and right click choose 'Add -> New Item ...'
+ - Preferably add it to the 'Plugins' folder, but it is up to you
+2. Select 'Class' and name it `Echo.cs`
+ - The name of this class must EXACTLY match what you call into `cordova.exec(win, fail, "Echo", ...)`
+3. Include the base classes implementation
+
+ using WPCordovaClassLib.Cordova;
+ using WPCordovaClassLib.Cordova.Commands;
+ using WPCordovaClassLib.Cordova.JSON;
+
+4. Extend your class from BaseCommand
+
+ public class Echo : BaseCommand
+ {
+ // ...
+ }
+
+5. Add a method that is callable from JS
+
+ public class Echo : BaseCommand
+ {
+ public void echo(string options)
+ {
+ // all JS callable plugin methods MUST have this signature!
+ // public, returning void, 1 argument that is a string
+ }
+ }
+
+Namespaces
+----------
+
+The default namespace for unqualified commands is:
+
+ namespace Cordova.Extension.Commands
+ {
+ // ...
+ }
+
+If you would like to use your own namespace, you will need to make a fully qualified
+call to `cordova.exec`. For example, if you wanted to define your C# class like this:
+
+ namespace com.mydomain.cordovaExtensions
+ {
+ public class Echo : BaseCommand
+ {
+ // ...
+ }
+ }
+
+Then, in JS you would need to call exec like this:
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "com.mydomain.cordovaExtensions.Echo", ...);
+
+Interpreting your arguments in C#
+----------------------------------
+
+The data received by your plugin method is a string value, but in actuality
+looking at our JavaScript code, we see our intention was to pass an array of strings.
+Looking back at our JS call to `cordova.exec`, we see we passed `[str]`:
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "Echo", "echo", ["input string"]);
+
+If we inspect the options string passed in to our `Echo.echo` method, we will
+see that the value is actually:
+
+ "[\"input string\"]"
+
+All javascript exec arguments are JSON encoded before being passed into C#.
+
+If we want to treat this as the string we were expecting, we need to decode it.
+We can use simple JSON deserialization.
+
+ string optVal = JsonHelper.Deserialize<string[]>(options)[0];
+ // optVal now has the value of "input string"
+
+Passing results from C# to JS
+-----------------------------
+
+The base class BaseCommand provides methods for passing data to your JS callback handlers.
+To simply signal that the command has succeeded, when no additional result info is needed,
+you can can simply call:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(); // calls back with an empty plugin result, considered a success callback
+
+To pass data back, you will need to call a different version of `DispatchCommandResult`:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, "Everything went as planned, this is a result that is passed to the success handler."));
+
+To pass structured object data back to JS, it should be encoded as a JSON string:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, "{result:\"super awesome!\"}"));
+
+If you need to signal that an error has occurred, you can call `DispatchCommandResult` with a `PluginResult` object:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR, "Echo signaled an error"));
+
+Handling serialization errors in your plugin's C# method
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+When interpreting your arguments, it is a good idea to use a try/catch block
+in case we have bad input. This is a pattern used throughout the Cordova C# code:
+
+ string optVal = null;
+
+ try
+ {
+ optVal = JsonHelper.Deserialize<string[]>(options)[0];
+ }
+ catch(Exception)
+ {
+ // simply catch the exception, we will handle null values and exceptions together
+ }
+
+ if (optVal == null)
+ {
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.JSON_EXCEPTION));
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ // ... continue on to do our work
+ }
+
+Advanced Plugin Functionality
+-----------------------------
+
+See other methods that you can override in:
+
+1. [BaseCommand.cs](https://github.com/apache/cordova-wp7/blob/master/templates/standalone/cordovalib/Commands/BaseCommand.cs)
+
+For example, you can hook into the 'pause' and 'resume' application events.
+
+### Debugging Plugins
+
+To debug the C# side, you can use Visual Studio's debugger, just set a break point
+at any of the methods exposed by your class.
+
+Javascript is a little more difficult to debug on Windows Phone, you will need to
+use `console.log` to output the state of your plugin, or inform yourself of errors.
+
+Common Pitfalls
+---------------
+
+- Be careful when deciding on the arguments you pass to native in your JavaScript
+ implementation. Most device platforms expect the args passed to cordova.exec
+ to be an array, but if you have different types of objects in this array, it
+ becomes difficult or impossible to deserialize.
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "ServiceName", "MethodName", ["this is a string", 54, {literal:'trouble'}]);
+
+ - This will mean that your C# code will receive a difficult to decode string value, such as:
+
+ "[\"this is a string\", 54, { literal:'trouble' }]"
+
+ - Consider converting ALL parameters to strings before calling exec:
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "ServiceName", "MethodName", ["this is a string", "54", "{literal:'trouble'}"]) ;
+
+ string[] optValues = JsonHelper.Deserialize<string[]>(options);
+
+- It is usually a good idea to do parameter checking in your JavaScript code,
+ before you call exec. This will let you re-use more JS code between different
+ native implementations of your plugin.

+Project Settings for iOS
+========================
+
+The **config.xml settings file** controls various settings of Cordova. This is application wide, and not set per CDVViewController instance. An example:
+
+ <cordova>
+ <preference name="MySetting" value="true" />
+ <plugins>
+ <plugin name="MyPlugin" value="MyPluginClass" />
+ </plugins>
+ <access origin="*" />
+ </cordova>
+
+1. A list of **plugins** (plugin tags under **<cordova>/<plugins>**) allowed to be used in a CDVViewController (set in the Plugins dictionary - name is the servicename used in JavaScript, and the value is the Objective-C class for the plugin that is a CDVPlugin sub-class)
+2. A **white-list** of hosts that Cordova is allowed to connect to (add an **<access>** tag, and set the origin attribute - wildcards allowed)
+3. Various **other** preferences (as **<preference>** tags) defaults err on not breaking existing apps)
+
+ a. **UIWebViewBounce (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false if you don't want the WebView to rubber-band
+
+ b. **TopActivityIndicator (string, defaults to 'gray')** - this is the top spinning throbber in the status/battery bar, valid values are "whiteLarge", "white" and "gray"
+
+ c. **EnableLocation (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true, to initialize the Geolocation plugin at start-up (so the fix on your location can be more accurate)
+
+ d. **EnableViewportScale (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to prevent viewport scaling through a meta tag
+
+ e. **AutoHideSplashScreen (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to control when the splashscreen is hidden through a JavaScript API
+
+ f. **ShowSplashScreenSpinner (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to hide the splash-screen spinner
+
+ g. **MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to not allow autoplayed HTML5 video
+
+ h. **AllowInlineMediaPlayback (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to allow inline HTML5 media playback, also, the video element in the HTML document must also include the webkit-playsinline attribute
+
+ i. **OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to open all white-listed URLs in the main WebView
+
+ j. **BackupWebStorage (string, defaults to 'cloud')** - valid values are 'none', 'cloud' and 'local'. Set to 'cloud' to allow the web storage data to be backed up to iCloud, and set to 'local' to only allow local backups (iTunes sync). Set to 'none' to not allow any backups of web storage.
+
+ k. **KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to open the keyboard when form elements get focus via the JavaScript focus() call.
+
+ l. **SuppressesIncrementalRendering (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to wait until all new view content has been received before it is rendered.
