open an activity from a CordovaPlugin

Question

I have written a CordavaPlugin derived class.

public class ShowMap extends CordovaPlugin {

@Override
public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args,
          


        

Answer 1

See this example.

Firstly you need to declare your custom plugin in config.xml. You can found this file in res > xml folder.

Then you need to implement plugin by using Java- code

public class CustomPlugin extends CordovaPlugin {

    @Override
    public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext)
            throws JSONException {

        if (action.equals("sayHello")){
            try {
                String responseText = "Hello world, " + args.getString(0);
                callbackContext.success(responseText);
            } catch (JSONException e){
                callbackContext.error("Failed to parse parameters");
            }
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

Finally we calling a plugin from javascript

function initial(){
    var name = $("#NameInput").val();
    cordova.exec(sayHelloSuccess, sayHelloFailure, "CustomPlugin", "sayHello", [name]);
}

function sayHelloSuccess(data){
    alert("OK: " + data);
}

function sayHelloFailure(data){
    alert("FAIL: " + data);
}
