I'm using WebIntent (https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/WebIntent/) as a custom plugin on my Icenium project.
I am using the startActivity method to have the Android OS recommend an viewer for a file of a particular mime type.
window.plugins.webintent.startActivity({
url: fullpath, // this is a local file
action: window.plugins.webintent.ACTION_VIEW,
type: 'application/pdf'
},
function(args) {
console.log('success!');
},
function(args) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(args));
});
This is working correctly.
However, if I set a type to 'application/someunsupportedmimetype', I am expecting an error to be reported because webIntent should not be able to find an appropriate viewer to recommend. Instead, Icenium Ion closes on the device and no errors are outputted to the console within Icenium Graphite. I have also attempted to wrap everything in a try/catch block - the same results occur.
Thoughts?

Hi Candace,
There must be some confusion as Icenium Ion is a test utility for iOS devices and is not available for Android devices. Additionally Icenium Ion does not support custom plugins and you can only test those by deploying on an actual device with provision (iOS).
We've already tested the WebIntent plug-in locally and can confirm that it has worked in our basic tests, so if you experience the same problems when you deploy your app, you might consider trying on another device, or another type of intent, or you can contact the plugin author for more information on how to debug this yourself.
