We forked this repo in order to introduce a solution for work with storage on Android10+ The latest v9 version that supports Android 10 sdk v29 - introduced many changes that brake some other plugins on sf-mobile. But without using sdk 29 we can't add a new policy introduced in Android 10.
In cordova/android maximum sdk version is hardcoded. So even bumping in in config.xml won't work. So the first fix - update max sdk version from 28 to 29
To use new storage a new option should be added to the manifest android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
Telerik/ImagePicker v2.3.6 introduce it. But in a runtime ImagePicker is failed due to manifest update errors
Seems edit-config option for this storage update makes manifest file failed, so even updating to cordova/android v9 could fail.
So here android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" is added manually. And now ImagePicker (and other plugins that require an access to the device storage) works fine on Android 10 and 11.
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 1.8 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"
The test/ directory in this project contains an Android test project that can
be used to run different kinds of native tests. Check out the
README contained therein for more details!
