When attempting to access API>19 on my Android device, I encountered an error in my Interface to Java that stated: "TypeError: Android.method is not a function."

Having my minimum API set to 16, everything seems to be working fine. However, debugging has become quite a challenge. I've read that after API 19, the Chrome debugger can be used. But when it comes to interfacing with Java code, I encounter the error "TypeError: Android.JavaMethod is not a function". This issue arises while using Angular for a hybrid app, which functions smoothly on iOS with the Safari debugger. The same code needs adjustments to run on Android, and I require the debugger to help me figure it out. What could possibly be causing this problem?

The error message displayed:

Answer №1

After delving deeper, I discovered that for API level 17 and above, it is necessary to annotate every method in the interface with @JavascriptInterface and add the import. Despite a misleading error message leading me astray, I realized that my lack of attention to this detail was causing issues. Most of my development work has been focused on AngularJS, with only occasional low-level work in Android (such as Bluetooth interactions).

import android.webkit.JavascriptInterface;
...   
@JavascriptInterface
public String JavaMethod(String arg)
