PhoneGap.exec not defined error

I also tried changing this to Cordova.exec and same error.

The plugin should work with Cordova.

From the error message, I guess that probably you have not imported cordova.js.

Do you import cordova.js in your html by doing as follows?

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-1.7.0.js"></script>

Thank you for the reply.

Yes I have Cordova installed. I am using a fully functioning Cordova app. The app will not work once I install your plugin. I am also testing this directly onto a device, no virtual machine. Have you tested this new version in a development environment yet ? I spent hours trying to get this plugin to work with no success.

Perhaps you have a fully working demo?

Thank you.

I am also having this issue both on a virtual android device and directly on a Galaxy Nexus that I am using to test my app. I am using cordova version 1.9.0 and I am importing it before the screen orientation plugin.

The error being reported is as follows...

07-10 18:30:24.118: E/Web Console(6437): Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'exec' at file:///android_asset/www/pg-plugin-screen-orientation.js:4

The same error message appears for me also. The problem isn't the fact that I have misplaced files, because I can successfully deploy the landscape mode in for one on my views (the problem then being that every view after that is in landscape). So to fix this I tried to add for the next view portrait mode and ended up having a non working application with the mentioned error message.
08-09 12:44:02.300: D/CordovaLog(26237): file:///android_asset/www/lib/pg-plugin-screen-orientation.js: Line 4 : Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'exec'

in the js file I tried both
cordova.exec(null, null, "ScreenOrientation", "set", [str]); and
PhoneGap.exec(success, fail, "ScreenOrientation", "set", [str]);
as possible solutions, but still crashing

Ha. Found a workaround.
The problem was that if the orientation change is fired too early, (for me the first view) it blows up the whole application. For me the fix was that I needed the landscape in a view that is deployed much later, so the fix was:

the view that needs to be landscape

    navigator.screenOrientation.set('landscape');
    window.weHaveChangedOrientation = true; 

and then in the first view

    if (window.weHaveChangedOrientation) {
      navigator.screenOrientation.set('portrait');
    }

so only force portrait if landscape has been forced earlier.

and remember to listen to the

document.addEventListener("deviceready", function(){
whatever
}, false);

to avoid problems I had :P
