Cordova/Phonegap plugin for Dropbox Chooser
Hi,
I am building a cordova/phonegap app which will let users choose the files in their dropbox. But the problem is that I have to open the chooser in InAppBrowser and the button click opens a popup which takes focus. this results in dropbox not able to communicate with my app as the page which opened chooser no longer exists.
Has anyone created a plugin for this or is there a better way to do it?

(Apologies for the delay. For future reference, be sure to post anything about the Dropbox API in the "API Development" forum so we'll see it quickly.)
Unfortunately we don't have a good solution for using the Chooser when cross-window communication isn't possible, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.
Maybe someone on the forum has developed something, but otherwise you'll probably need to use the Core API to develop your integration instead.
I was able to find out about an existing plugin but it needed tweaking. I guess you guys should seriously think about creating an official plugin for cordova/phonegap as it will make dropbox more appealing to hybrid developers as more and more developers are creating hybrid apps. And with dropbox developers, who are super stars, it will be a matter of few days. Do pass on my suggestion.
