[jira] [Commented] (CB-2239) Support returning multiple plugin-result values from native->js

["Michal Mocny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13576746#comment-13576746 ] 

Michal Mocny commented on CB-2239:
----------------------------------

Removed Android so that this bug tracks one unit of work.  Also, while this may be a nice feature to add to android, there are other ways to accomplish similar tasks rather easily so it may not be as important.  Will re-evaluate after finishing this.

> Currently, on both Android and iOS, we support calling a plugin with multiple arguments, but only support a single return value.
> If all your return values are json serializable, you can construct a json array or dictionary and return that, and that has gotten us this far.
> However, we have recently added support for sending ArrayBuffers, which are not json serializable.  Some plugins require returning data along with an ArrayBuffer result (such as a success indicator).
> We propose adding a new return type to CDVPluginResult (ios) and to PluginResult (android) which is some multi-value container, semantically a list of PluginResult.  The types this container supports are the same as we have supported until now, and the current PluginResults implementations can be written in terms-of a list of size 1 so as to support the common case while not diverging implementations.
