Attaching a file in Cordova & uploading it with jQuery Mobile

This post is for those unlucky souls who are tasked with developing an Android solution that attaches a file to an HTML form using Cordova and uploads the form via jQuery Mobile. Documentation on these topics is scarce so I've created a minimal example on my GitHub page demonstrating how to do this. Instructions to run the example are found inside the project's README file.

  5. Just to solve my previous question: phonegap upload doesn't work in Android >= 4.1 devices. Probably version 2.4 will allow that :)

    1. Are you using the correct version of the emulator Uma? There is a comment on this post that says the demo doesn't work on Android >= 4.1 devices.
