I'm still new to Phonegap and I am working with the Android SDK for some days now. At least I wanted to do a XMLHttpRequest to get data from my server.
I knew about the Same Origin Policy before and I asked myself, how this should work with a "native app".
I searched the internet and found some topics, where people were telling others, that there is no Same Origin Policy on Phonegap, because it uses the file:// protocol and additionally there is a domain whitelist in it's config.xml.
On the other hand there were a bunch of topics of people having problems with XHR's and others told them, that this is because of the Same Origin Policy...
Well, I was confused, but I used my - on regular websites - working XMLHttpRequest snippet and put it into the Phonegap app. I tried the virtual device, but my request is not working.
Now I asked myself some questions:
- Who is right? Is there Same Origin Policy on Phonegap or not?
If yes:
What function has that domain whitelist?
What's the best way to still get the data of my server?
