Bug Image

I am using Intel XDK version 3987 using Cordova plugin.

Any help to eliminate this error will be highly appreciated!

Solution

  • After several days of headbanging, trials and errors and detective work, I was able to find the real culprit.

    The problem was caused because jQuery Mobile framework automatically on the runtime added the following classes to the header div having data-role="header":

    class="ui-header ui-bar-inherit"

    Those classes created an unwanted margin between the status bar and the header.

    However, this problem was solved by removing those classes using jQuery during the runtime execution of the application.
