Usage
Clone, and cd into the cordevicljs folder.
lein figwheel
Wait for figwheel to finish and notify browser of changed files!
Then in another terminal tab:
lein run
Be sure to have the Apache Cordova CLI installed and then in a third tab:
cd resources
cordova platform add browser
cordova platform add ios|android
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-dialogs
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen
If the plugins return 404s, you can try installing directly from git
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-dialogs.git
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-splashscreen.git
For older versions of Cordova and the Splashscreen plugin, you sometimes had to remove the splashscreen plugin to test in the browser. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, although your browser will try to get the splash screen, which it can't. If you don't want to look at it, and only develop in the browser, simply remove it again:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-splashscreen
Now you can test in browser. Still in resources, where config.xml resides, run
cordova run browser
This should show a mobile flat UI native like interface with a slider menu and a JavaScript alert telling you that Native Device bridge is working.
(For some older versions of Cordova on Linux, you had to patch platforms/browser/cordova/run as documented here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29730482)
Test on device emulators
Then to test in device emulator:
cordova run ios|android
Refer to XCode/Android SDK manuals if this won't work.
If it works you should see the same app as before, but this time with a real native dialog instead of a JavaScript alert.
Test on real device
cordova run ios|android --device
It's that simple! :)
PS: If you get a warning when installing on iOS device about backup to iCloud, you can disable this by following the steps in the second reply here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18717339/where-can-i-change-the-backupwebstorage-property-in-my-phonegap-app
