Hello,

I'm uisng an embedded cordova webview and am seeing something where by the
webview doesn't receive messages sent to it from my plugin.

I've seen this with:

android 4.3, 4.4.2, (Moto G, Nexus 7 2012)
cordova 3.3.0-rc1, 3.3.0-0.1.1, 3.3.1-0.4.2

The application is receiveing informatiion from a USB device (the
phone/tablet runs in accessory mode), reading this information in its own
thread.  These call callbacks, and change the state in the webview (lavaca
app).

Generally this works without issues.  Sometimes, the screen doesn't
update.  If I profile the threads running, the webview is not showing any
activity (except maybe a call to uptime).  If I unplug and plug back in the
USB, the screen goes through all the pending updates (quickly flashes
through them).  The app does *not* return to normal opperations at this
point: I have to unplug/plug back in for every message that is sent.  If I
do this while monitoring the threads, I see calls to the android message
handler happening at this point.

When it is working correctly, these calls happen when the event is
triggered.

My questions - what could be causing this?  Is there a way to force the
message queue to trigger, other than unpluggin/pluggin back in?

James
