-------------------------------------------------------------

Things I would still like to see happen with this API:

- Move it into CordovaInterface so that it's discoverable
  - We may want to remove the restriction of requiring the Activity to be the same object as the CordovaInterface that is present in CordovaWebView.java
  - This way we can provide a default CordovaInterfaceImpl that can be used even when using custom Activity classes
- Fold FileHelpers into DataResource, or at lease make it package-private.
- Allow http: URLs to be handled by DataResource for simple GET requests.
- Add checks to getInputStream() that ensures users are not calling it from the UI thread nor the WebCore thread.
- Update plugin guide

>             Project: Apache Cordova

> Motivations:
> 1. Many plugins do not handle URLs correctly when they are in the form content: or file:///android_asset. 
> 2. For the cordova-app-harness, there needs to be a way to re-route resource load requests so that the harness can load app resources while still respecting the <content> tag.
