I think is is either file:///android_res/config.xml or "../../res/config.xml.
I am not sure why there is a config.xml in a FirefoxOS app anyway. Cordova creates a manifest.webapp from the project's config.xml Probably a relict to copy that to the app's root directory. I think readConfig on FirefoxOS should use manifest.webapp. Although I do not know how <preference> elements from config.xml are treated on FirefoxOS... -Axel Am 01.03.2014 02:58, schrieb Andrew Grieve: > Didn't know about android_res/ neat! > > > On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 6:27 PM, Jesse <purplecabb...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Yes, but then we have to agree on the format of config.json, which could >> take weeks. >> >> Something like this [1] should handle it.
