Sample application for cordova issue

What is this?

This is a sample application of cordova project in which cordova prepare can not work. The project's index.html is not copied to android platform's index.html.

How to reproduce

git clone

$ git clone https://github.com/knight9999/sampleUnupdate.git

cd

$ cd sampleUnupdate

install

$ npm install

prepare

$ npx cordova prepare android

check the project index.html

$ cat www/index.html

check platform index.html

$ cat platforms/android/app/src/main/assets/www/index.html 

The latter platform's index.html is different from the former project's www/index.html. The latter platform's index.html is still template default.

So the cordova prepare does not update platforms/android/app/src/main/assets/www/index.html anymore.

Reason

The www/index.html of this project is `2481' bytes.

$ ls -al www/index.html 
-rw-r--r--  1 knaito  staff  2481  1 17 18:02 www/index.html

This file size is accidentally same as cordova-android/bin/templates/project/assets/www/index.html file size.

Therefore

The following if condition in FileUpdater.js can not detect the modification of project index.html.

• The timestamp of project index.html is older than platform index.html.
• The filesize of project index.html is same as platform index.html

                if (sourceStats.mtime.getTime() >= targetStats.mtime.getTime() ||
                        sourceStats.size !== targetStats.size) {
                    log('copy  ' + sourcePath + ' ' + targetPath + ' (updated file)');
                    fs.copySync(sourceFullPath, targetFullPath);
                    updated = true;
}

If you edit project index.html (update timestamp), the cordova prepare works well.
