I'm writting a Project about get location in Android, i was do a same Project by phonegap with Cordova Plugin for get location and i feel it was great..
So, I want to use Cordova Plugin in exist Native Android Project, anyway to do this ?
Not sure if I understand your question correctly but short answer is Yes. You should be able to create a Cordova project:
cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
Then simply add the android platform:
cd hello
cordova platform add android
Cordova will create the native android project and you can program using native Android stuff and you should also be able to use the Cordova plugins if you wish.
Obviously, a phonegap/cordova plugin consist of 3 different parts :
1. plugin.xml file (manifest file)
2. a common javascript interface to bridging between our phonegap project with native device API, and
3. native code for each supported platform
So, in order to your case, you can find the native code for android (JAVA file) in src/android from the top directory of your plugin

How easy is PhoneGap to build and deploy Android applications? The application I'm thinking of is not a beginner level app. How is the level of debugging and error handling and the support it gives?
Thanks in advance.
Deploying an app with Phonegap is quite easy. You can install Phonegap by using,
npm install -g phonegap#latest
and then create an app by,
phonegap create myApp
Refer the docs, PhoneGap Getting Started
When you create the app you will notice there is a directory called "WWW". All you have to do is copy a build of your existing web app to this directory.
All your assets and code in this directory will be used to build apps for the platforms you specify.
You can use Cordova to add the Android platform, which will be used to get an Android build out of your project.
Use,
cordova platform add android
Notice the directory "platforms". Inside it you will find another directory called "android" and this will be your Android project.
To build an Android app simply use,
phonegap build android
When you run the above command Phonegap will build an Android project using your code in WWW directory and place it in the platforms/android directory.
You can then use Android Studio to open the android directory which is an Android project now.
It's as simple as that and quite easy once you get the hang of it.
Then you can do all the regular debugging inside Android Studio using Logcat.
What I'm trying to do is embed a cordova application into a native android application.
It seems to me that the documentation is out of date or not clear about the steps that needs to be done.
Documentation:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/webview.html
I am at the point that I can't create the .jar file for the following reasons.
I don't have a /framework directory in my root project directory or in platforms/android
Cordova seems to be using gradle instead of ant for building the android project. I can't find a build.xml anywhere in the android project.
My Cordova version: 8.0.0
As as followup question, I expect this .jar file will also contain the plugins that the cordova project depends on, correct?
I have an Ionic 2 app. If I change one piece of .ts code I had to perform the folowing steps:
Remove platform;
Ionic platform add android;
Ionic run android or import gradle on android studio;
This process is very slow. How can automatically change .ts code without remove platform?
You don't have to remove and re-add, just do ionic build android.
In any case your workflow doesn't look right, why are you working with the built platform on android studio instead of just working with the files in your appdirectory?
I've created by command line a new phonegap application.When I try to get it by eclipse from android existing code it can't recognise as a android project.
Have I build my phonegap app before?
Phonegap project's folders are:
.cordova
hooks
merges
platforms
plugins
www
phonegap create [optional params] will setup a blank project space. To add platforms to this project you must run phonegap platform add [ios/android/wp8]. Then depending on the platform and how you wish to develop it, you run either phonegap prepare or phonegap build.
In your case, since you wish to import to Eclipse, you will want to run:
phonegap platform add android
phonegap build
Then in Eclipse you can browse to /PROJECT_PATH/platforms/android and import your project.
On OSX I want to create a PhoneGap app to run on iOS and Android.
I installed cordova (3.0.0) and phonegap (3.0.0-0.14.0) using npm.
Following the CLI guide I can create my app using
cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
then add platforms
cordova platform add ios
cordova platform add android
It works well but I'd like to use XCode as IDE. I read the IOS platform guide and saw I can create my app using
./path/to/cordova-ios/bin/create /path/to/hello com.example.hello HellowWorld
I can't execute that command if the folder already exists, so I removed it first. I then tried adding android to it but it doesn't work (Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project.). I then noticed that the content of the directories are really different depending on the tool used.
Is there an easy way to create an XCode project and still be able to use the CLI to build for Android and iOS?
I was able to create a project for ios using the CLI against the bin directory of the ios platform as in your example EXCEPT, I had to create an empty folder first. Try this..
./create ~/My-Project/name of empty project folder com.example.appname. "Project Name"
You can:
create a project using cordova create projectname
add ios support with cordova platform add ios
navigate to projectname/platforms/ios and open the .xcodeproj file in XCode
to use XCode as the IDE.
cordova platform add ios uses the create script under the covers.
The issue you will run into is that if you make changes to the html, css, or js files under projectname/platforms/ios, you will have to manually push those changes back to projectname/www. Or you can only make changes to projectname/www and use cordova prepare to push them to your ios directory (and your android directory).
You'd also need to decide how you want to handle version control--will you do it yourself with a command line client, or within your IDE?
