Finally I found the solution : in fact the NullPointerException was on ctx. To fix it, I setup the Context value of my object c like this :

c.setContext(use_An_Object_Of_Type_PhonegapActivity);

To get the object, I grab it from the AppActivity in this method :

public class CloudPhoneAppActivity extends DroidGap {
private class NoScaleWebViewClient extends GapViewClient {

    public NoScaleWebViewClient(DroidGap ctx) {
        super(ctx);
        myApp.ctx = ctx;
    }

    public void onScaleChanged(WebView view, float oldScale, float newScale) {
        Log.d("NoScaleWebViewClient", "Scale changed: " + String.valueOf(oldScale) + " => " + String.valueOf(newScale));
    }
}
/** other stuff after**/ 
}

So finally here is the solution :

class c = new class();
c.setContext(myApp.ctx);
c.execute("myFunction",null,null);

There is no change to do in the execute method which is describe before. But be careful of how you call the javascript function.

You cant call object.loadUrl("javascript:function();"); from the plugin as plugin doesnt extend the WebView of Android. To call loadUrl you would have to pass the call back to the Home class which extends DroidGap.

In the plugin you can define

Home home = null;
Looper.prepare();
home = new Home();
home.somefunc();

and in somefunc call

super.loadUrl("javascript:function();");
