deviceready has not fired in phonegap 2.9.0 with sencha touch 2

I use PhoneGap 2.9.0 and SenchaTouch to develop my Android application (targetSdkVersion 16).

When I start the app in Chrome, I got such logs : 

Falling back on PROMPT mode since _cordovaNative is missing. Expected for Android 3.2 and lower only. cordova.js:912
deviceready has not fired after 5 seconds. cordova.js:6725
Channel not fired: onCordovaConnectionReady cordova.js:6718
Channel not fired: onCordovaInfoReady  cordova.js:6718

When I test it in Samsung tablet (Android 4.1.2), the first line disappeared but the 3 events are always not fired.

However, it seems SenchaTouch works quite good: views display and interactions works as I expect.

Here's the head section of index.html:

 <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>title</title>

    <!-- The line below must be kept intact for Sencha Command to build your application -->
    <script id="microloader" type="text/javascript" src="touch/microloader/development.js"></script>

    <style type="text/css">
       some css here
    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="pg/cordova.js"></script>      
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="pg/barcodescanner.js"></script>  

 </head>

I use some phonegap API such as Camera and File. As PhoneGap receives never deviceready event, the API is not available so navigator.camera is undefined.

I did a hug research but all I tested does not resolve the problem. Any advice is welcome Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Had the same issue, but in my case it was due to the fact that I have referenced plugins in my config.xml which I have not instantiated within my application.

    Simply commenting them out until I referenced them in my code gave me an immediate "Phonegap is ready".
