Phonegap button does not fire due to “singleCursorHandlerTouchEvent -getEditableSupport FASLE”

Question

A phonegap button does not fire in the newest Android 4.0.3. I get the debug message

\"singleCursorHandlerTouchEvent -getEditableSupport  FASLE\" 

Answer 1

There was a similar problem here with the same message. It seems that was solved by resizing a div. I've gotten this same debug message, but it does not affect my event handlers. It also depends on the device/simulator that's being tested. For instance, this message is displayed on a Samsung Galaxy S2 running ICS 4.0.3, but does not show up in the emulator or a Nexus S 4G running the same Android version. Finally (for me) the message appears for any tap within the webview screen. Therefore it would indicate this is simply a debug message tied to the webview activity and not a problem with phonegap.

Do you have event handlers for the buttons or are they simply href links? I'm assuming the {{action someAction}} would be some sort of handler like onclick="functionName()". Try attaching an event handler to any of the buttons. Using normal js syntax:

document.getElementById('ButtonID').addEventListener( 'click', function(){
     alert('clicked');
}
