Looks better than it works.
This does not trigger the alert. Neither with two / or three / after
"file:"
while "config.xml" alone works after I have put config.xml in www
document.addEventListener( "deviceready",
function() {
function readConfig() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener("load", function () {
var parser = new DOMParser();
var doc = parser.parseFromString(xhr.responseText,
"application/xml");
alert("Description : " +
doc.getElementsByTagName("description").item(0).textContent);
});
xhr.open("get", "file:///android_res/xml/config.xml", true);
xhr.send();
}
readConfig();
Anyway this is not very cross platform.
