How do I get Visual Studio Online to do a Build Cordova/PhoneGap? - android

How do I get Visual Studio Online to do a Build/Continious Intergration-Delivery for Cordova?
The only examples below are for installing to your own TFS installation. The CI build templates for VSO is Java/Android or C++/iOS not Cordova/PhoneGap.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/build-release/archive/apps/mobile/cordova-command?view=vsts

As you can see from the Team Foundation Server guide, they don't seem to support Cordova apps.
Why don't your try Visual Studio Community 2017 instead? This includes the Tools for Apache Cordova and it works perfectly fine.

Native Activity App (Android) is missing in Visual Studio community 2022

I am trying to build a Native App for android with C++, but the only option I see is Basic Application (Android, Gradle) which creates a Java project.
I am following this tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SJmf1HsVQU
The Native App that appears in the tutorial is not available in my Visual Studio 2022 Community,
Is this not available in community edition, or did I miss installing some component?
My VS Setup
The Native App was provided in Visual Studio before version 17.4.
And it has been removed since
release note:
Android SDK update Ant scripts have been removed, so users will no
longer see Ant-based templates in the New Project dialog. For help
migrating from Ant templates to Gradle templates, please see:
Migrating Builds From Apache Ant (gradle.org)

Can not use Apache cordova with Visual Studio 2015

I'm trying to create a Apache Cordova app via Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, but I can't.
I installed VS 2015 with Apache Cordova tools. Created an Apache Cordova project, opened project.xml and tried to add plugins to the app.
But then I get the following error: log trace at pastebin
So, previously, I got that error and reinstalled VS 2015, but it is still not working.
EDIT:
I found a solution here
did you install Apache Cordova tools when you install visual studio 2015.
you should click on custom installation and install Corodva Apache Tools.
Cheers

Team Foundation plugin for Android Studio

I want to move from Eclipse to Android Studio. In Eclipse I use a plugin for Microsoft Team Foundation Server. In Android Studio I downloaded a plugin called TFS Integration from JetBrains but it doesn't work (apparently it is only supported in "Intellij Idea Ultimate Edition".
I can't move to Android Studio without integration with TFS. How do I get integration with TFS?
You can't have TFS in Android Studio at the moment, because AS is based on the free edition of intellij and TFS is based on the ultimate edition, as you said. So Jetbrain is selling a solution, therefore google can't fork it and make it free :)
You can use Team Explorer or GitTF
Checkout this
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2015/10/23/team-foundation-plugin-for-intellij-idea.aspx
The plugin is in preview with an anticipated release in early 2016.
It seems that plugin lacks support of Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC): only Git is supported.
For TFS version control try this one Team Foundation Server - Version Control Integration
UPDATE
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7981-visual-studio-team-services supports TFS Integration (TFS Version Control and Git) with Android Studio and all community and enterprise versions of Jet Brains IDEs.

"Publish Android App" in Visual Studio 2015 RC with Apache Cordova is not doing anything

I am attempting to create an Android app using the Visual Studio 2015 RC with Apache Cordova (a multi-platform hybrid app) and for some reason, when I go to:
TOOLS -> ANDROID -> PUBLISH ANDROID APP...
I get a quick thinking/circling mouse pointer then nothing.
Useful Information:
-The installation went fine and I can use the Ripple emulator fine.
-I did the same steps on a machine with Comodo which allowed me to see what Visual Studio was attempting to access and it was definitely reaching out to the Java tools on the computer (I assume to build the apk).
Other than that, I have no idea! :) Thank you.
Thanks for using Visual Studio tools for Apache Cordova.
I presume you are using the following menu, which is added to Visual Studio by the Xamarin Tools and can be used only with Xamarin and not with Tools for Apache Cordova.
To publish an hybrid android app to Google play store, using Tools for Apache Cordova, you will have to follow manual steps which are provided here
I agree that showing this menu for tools for Apache Cordova is confusing and leading users to believe this is a supported scenario. I will take this observation/feedback with the product team and let them know.
Once again, thanks for using our tools.

TFS In Android Studio Not Work

I installed Android Studio TFS plug-in From JetBrains web site and after I install it, it doesn't work.
Is it possible to install TFS and if it's not what is the best source control to use as Team work source controller?
I believe that the JetBrains plugins have not been updated since TFS 2010,and you need to have Team Explorer 2010 installed to use them.
If you install Team Explorer 2010 it should work.
The TFS does not work, because plugin working only the Ultimate version , like Android Studio is based in JetBrains Free, it not will work.
