hp webos, pdk plugin defunct in hybrid app. - webos

Question

I have been trying to call a pdk plugin from the mojo hybrid app and have also tried the same with enyo app. In both cases my pdk plugin is shown as , Interesting thing is in case of enyo, i received the plugin_ready response which is sent after the plugin registration is complete.
in the web-os site, they mentioned that it is the issue with pdk plugin that makes it look defunct.
but i could not find a method to resolve it.
This is how my plugin looks,
PDL_bool powerCall(PDL_JSParameters *params) {
runsine();
char *reply = "Done";
PDL_JSReply(params, reply);
return PDL_TRUE;
}
int main(){
int result = SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
PDL_Init(0);
PDL_RegisterJSHandler("pawar", powerCall);
PDL_JSRegistrationComplete();
PDL_CallJS("ready", NULL, 0); // this is for enyo
PDL_Quit();
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
please suggest me how to solve this issue. i know its a very simple task and am frustrated that its taking this long.
Thanks

In your plugin you should enter an event loop after you call the "ready" function, and before you call the PDL_Quit() and SDL_Quit(). Not having an event loop causes the plugin process to quit right away.
Here is an example based on the "simple" app that ships with the PDK:
int main(){
int result = SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
PDL_Init(0);
PDL_RegisterJSHandler("pawar", powerCall);
PDL_JSRegistrationComplete();
PDL_CallJS("ready", NULL, 0); // this is for enyo
atexit(SDL_Quit);
atexit(PDL_Quit);
SDL_Event Event;
bool paused = false;
while (1) {
bool gotEvent;
if (paused) {
SDL_WaitEvent(&Event);
gotEvent = true;
}
else {
gotEvent = SDL_PollEvent(&Event);
}
while (gotEvent) {
switch (Event.type) {
case SDL_ACTIVEEVENT:
if (Event.active.state == SDL_APPACTIVE) {
paused = !Event.active.gain;
}
break;
case SDL_QUIT:
// We exit anytime we get a request to quit the app
// all shutdown code is registered via atexit() so this is clean.
exit(0);
break;
// handle any other events interesting to your plugin here
default:
break;
}
gotEvent = SDL_PollEvent(&Event);
}
}
return 0;
}
