Question

I am currently making a Cordova plugin that will have call a method which starts a tween animation on the main activity.

cordova.getActivity().customMethod();

Does not work because the plugin does not know whether the method is implemented or not. How do I do this?

Thanks!

Edit: To clarify my question a little bit better: How do I make a Cordova Plugin start an Android view-animation in the current activity?

Answer 1

Did you add your plugin name to plugins.xml or config.xml(as from version 2.0.0)?

like –>

<plugin name="Your_plugin_name" value="packagename.Your_plugin_name"/>

Edit:

As you are simply calling a method in your activity,I wouldn’t want to write a plugin for that…but you can do that just by getting a reference from that activity in the plugin and calling the method.After all the Plugin is implemented in native Java code.But if you have implemented CordovaWebView,then instead I would rather call it directly from the javascript.

In onCreate:

cordovaWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
cordovaWebView.addJavascriptInterface(this, "reference");

In you activity:

public void animate()
{
   //do animation
}

In JS :

reference.animate();

Do as you may like.
