Cordova Android is an Android application library that allows for Cordova-based projects to be built for the Android Platform. Cordova based applications are, at the core, applications written with web technology: HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Apache Cordova is a project of The Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
- Java JDK 1.6 or greater
- Android SDK http://developer.android.com
We recommend using the Cordova command-line tool to create projects and be able to easily install plugins.
However, the following scripts can be used instead:
./bin/create [path package activity] ... creates the ./example app or a cordova android project
./bin/check_reqs ....................... checks that your environment is set up for cordova-android development
./bin/update [path] .................... updates an existing cordova-android project to the version of the framework
These commands live in a generated Cordova Android project. Any interactions with the emulator require you to have an AVD defined.
./cordova/clean ........................ cleans the project
./cordova/build ........................ calls `clean` then compiles the project
./cordova/log ........................ streams device or emulator logs to STDOUT
./cordova/run ........................ calls `build` then deploys to a connected Android device. If no Android device is detected, will launch an emulator and deploy to it.
./cordova/version ...................... returns the cordova-android version of the current project
- Create a project
- Import it via "Non-Android Studio Project"
