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](https://cordova.apache.org/) is a project of [The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](https://apache.org/).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Java Development Kit (JDK) 17
|
|
* [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/)
|
|
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)
|
|
|
|
## Create a Cordova project
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in the [**Create your first Cordova app**](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/cli/index.html) section of [Apache Cordova Docs](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/)
|
|
|
|
To use a **shared framework**, for example in development, link the appropriate cordova-android platform folder path:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cordova platform add --link /path/to/cordova-android
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating a Cordova project
|
|
|
|
When you install a new version of the [`Cordova CLI`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova) that pins a new version of the [`Cordova-Android`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-android) platform, you can follow these simple upgrade steps within your project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cordova platform rm android
|
|
cordova platform add android
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debugging in Android Studio
|
|
|
|
Import project in Android Studio through _File > Open_ and targeting `/path/to/your-cdv-project/platforms/android/`.
|
|
|
|
## How to Test Repo Development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Nightly Build
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cordova platform add android@nightly
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds are **not recommended for production apps**. They are intended for testing purposes. This allows users either to check if recent changes in the main branch have fixed existing issues or to identify new bugs before an official release.
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds are generated daily and may be **unstable**.
|
|
|
|
See [Apache Cordova - Nightly Builds](https://cordova.apache.org/contribute/nightly_builds.html) for more details.
