What every phonegap developer on windows phone 7 needs

 

Error logging!  An unfortunate side effect of developing apps in Javascript in mobile IE9 is that there doesn’t appear to be any error dialogs.

Try the following Javascript:

 

// provide our own console if it does not exist, huge dev aid!
if (typeof window.console == “undefined”) {
window.console = { log: function (str) { window.external.Notify(str); } };
}

// output any errors to console log, created above.
window.onerror = function (msg,url,linenumber) {
console.log(“Error ::” + msg + ” in ” + url + ” at line ” + linenumber);
};

console.log(“Installed console ! “);

This also gives you a “console.log” for free.

 

Enjoy!
