I am trying to create an Android application using Phonegap 3.1. The app needs to retrieve data from my remote server, which is running Apache with the Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" directive set for the URI the app should be pulling data from. I have <access subdomains='true' url='*' /> set in Phonegap's config.xml file. The code below works and runs the "success" function if I put the web page into a local Apache directory separate from the server (different machines on different domains in different physical locations) and call it from Chrome, but when I try to call it via Phonegap it throws a less than helpful error of {"readystste":0,"responseText":"","status":0,"statusText":"error"}. The "readystate":0 looks like it might be an access or cross-site scripting error that's only happening in Phonegap, so I'm willing to believe it's something I need to configure on my end, but I'm going nuts trying to figure out what.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I need to get this running and have been scouring the web for a week trying to get it to work.

Reset to default 7Try putting <access origin="*" subdomains="true" /> inside the www/config.xml file, as per: http://cordova.apache/docs/en/3.1.0/guide_appdev_whitelist_index.md.html#Whitelist%20Guide
In your question, you have url instead of origin.
Another thing I'm thinking of, are you testing with an emulator? If so, are you using the full URL for the remote server or just localhost? Because localhost on the emulator will map back to the emulator itself and not to the server you are running on your machine.
Did you have the permissions for internet use? PhoneGap Documentation: Connection
I tried everything including <access origin="*" subdomains="true" /> but din't work for me.
then I added
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" source="npm" spec="~1.2.1" />
In my config.xml and it worked.
