Description

Migrated from Issue #40

from deostroll:

I suppose this is a race condition issue.

On an android device (Samsung Galaxy Tab Note N7000) I've consumed this plugin. I have attempted to obtain window dimensions right after screen.lockOrientation() is called, and later in a window.setTimeout() callback. (All this in the same page).

I have observed that they yielded different values.

What this plugin actually needs is a state which tells developers that its safe to obtain window dimensions. I think this discrepancy is due to the fact that the code has tried to access the window dimensions before the WebView has completed modifying the state of window object.
