Get current and remote version in the native code.
- Current version get from file index.html parse script src
<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js?0.22-544-gd096e48"></script> - Remote version get from server in this format (new version and note)
0.22-537|0.22-537|This version contains feature updates
If the versions do not equal show native dialog with:
title: "Update Available"
note: "This version contains feature updates"
current: "Current version: 0.22-535"
remote: "Update to: 0.22-537"
buttons: "Update Now" "Cancel"
If user tap "Update Now" we must first of all Sync evals to the server and only then update version.
And in this step maybe:
- builds is OK and we need Sync
- build is broken and we cann't call JS method
So we do test request to the JS
activity.sendJavascript("UART.system.Helper.echo()");
this is method do callback to the native
cordova.version(null, null, 'echo')
and if we get response during 1 second we call JS from native to do Sync
activity.sendJavascript("UART.system.Helper.syncBeforeUpdate()");
after Sync was completed JS will call native
cordova.version(null, null, 'updateTo');
and download zip with new version
This is a plugin implementation of the UpdateTo Version function which can download zip from url and replace www folder at the Cordova project. Also it add url scheme to you APP and then we can start APP from another with zip to download as param - href="myapp://download/version007.zip"
