How to add a configuration file and access it values in a PhoneGap/Cordova Application

Add a xml file to the asset/www folder and give it a name(config.xml in our case). Add settings that you need to include.

config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration>

    <appSettings>

        <!-- QA Server-->

        <service url="http://whatsup.ai.com/service/api/" />

        <!-- Live Server-->

        <!--service url="https://user.whatsup.com/service/api/" /-->

        <version versionnumber="1.0.0.0" />

    </appSettings>

</configuration>

Code for accessing service url attribute of config file:

var serviceUrl;

function readServiceUrl() {

      $.ajax({

           url : "config.xml",

           dataType : "html",

           success : function(xmlResponse) {

           serviceUrl = $(xmlResponse).find('service').attr('url');

          

           },

           error : function(error) {

           console.log(error);

           },

           async : false

           });

}
