debug javascript in android emulator with phonegap

Question

I am new to phonegap and android development. May I know how can I debug javascript error on the emulator? I have heard about ADB may I know how can I use and install it on wind

Answer 1

Phonegap debug still exists. the one I know of is in phonegap build found in the settings and tick the debug application option. It will then rebuild your app when you save it. A debug button will appear in the application page along with the rebuild options. (this service also uses a built in weinre)

Another option which I also find the fastest is jsconsole.com. Its very easy to set up and requires almost no configuration compared to other methods of debugging where you need to install lots of things like drivers and SDKs.

NOTE!

In PhoneGap 10 when you build your app and any requests outside the app(as if there is no internet) fails,you will have to add this in your config.xml

I was pulling my hair out trying to get any remote debugging tool to work only to find out outside requests were blocked by default. this saved me.
