• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major

Description

Cordova not initialized properly:

06-28 10:52:14.774 12625-12625/com.example.hello E/CordovaBridge: gap_init called from restricted origin:
 

I have looked into this issue and it seems that sometimes the origin URL is empty and that is the reason why the message above is shown.

@Override
    public boolean onJsPrompt(WebView view, String origin, String message, String defaultValue, final JsPromptResult result) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, (tries++) +" onJsPrompt: "+origin);
        // Unlike the @JavascriptInterface bridge, this method is always called on the UI thread.
        String handledRet = parentEngine.bridge.promptOnJsPrompt(origin, message, defaultValue);
        if (handledRet != null) {
            result.confirm(handledRet);
        } else {
            dialogsHelper.showPrompt(message, defaultValue, new CordovaDialogsHelper.Result() {
                @Override
                public void gotResult(boolean success, String value) {
                    if (success) {
                        result.confirm(value);
                    } else {
                        result.cancel();
                    }
                }
            });
        }
        return true;
    }

The strange think is that if you call view.getUrl() the url is return correctly. I was wondering, can be that used instead of the origin url ?

This is an issue not that easy to reproduce, I managed to reproduce with a simple hello world cordova app.
I did some tweaks to increase the occurrence of the issue:
1. Enable "Don't keep activities" from the developer options
2. Using "Recents" button open and close the app very fast
3. I have attached the MainActvity.java that I used. There is some commented code that can be uncommented to increase the occurrence rate of the issue.
