The anonymous inner class in the backtrace is a UI-thread callback in buildHoneycombMenu() ... this is code that's only run on Android 3.x and seems to pull a Menu object out of ctx.dMenu which I can find no documentation on.

If I change it to skip this when ctx.dMenu is null, it doesn't crash but the web view is limited to a tiny little square in the upper-left.

Tested with Android 3.2 emulator image.

the ctx.dMenu is related to the menu plugin which gives PhoneGap access to the native menu on Android phones.

it's possible that the plugin is not compatible with the Android tablets. I will verify if this is the case.

Still crashes in emulator running 3.2 as of commit f24fdd5449b020ac9a24f64abad9f07594fe6df8.

Commented out the code that creates an Action Bar specific menu for now. Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich uses the Action Bar instead of using a Menu.
