So any old code (such as the code at http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.0.0/guide_plugin-development_android_index.md.html ) that says - - {{{ - import org.apache.cordova.api.Plugin; - public class TestPhonegapPlugin extends Plugin {/*...*/} - }}} - will need to be updated to say - - {{{ - import org.apache.cordova.api.CordovaPlugin; - public class TestPhonegapPlugin extends CordovaPlugin {/*...*/} - }}} - Please also read the updated [[http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.3.0/guide_platforms_android_plugin.md.html#Android%20Plugins|Android Plugin Guide]], since the threading details have changed. - - If you want don't care about updating and just want your plugin to "work", you could drop a copy of the [[https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-android.git;a=blob_plain;f=framework/src/org/apache/cordova/api/Plugin.java;h=72171f2ac2d0de8c556661568f41ff2bd754fc1f;hb=df1536ea77e97b7d362a19582f8beddd168c5ec3|Plugin]] and [[https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-android.git;a=blob_plain;f=framework/src/org/apache/cordova/api/LegacyContext.java;h=fe154f7cff6d2f5d9d2024db34cafa354cd772aa;hb=df1536ea77e97b7d362a19582f8beddd168c5ec3|LegacyContext]] shims into your project. - - == deprecation: window.addPlugin and window.plugins will be removed == - The window.addPlugin and window.plugins will be removed. - - You should switch to using cordova.require(). See http://simonmacdonald.blogspot.com/2012/08/so-you-wanna-write-phonegap-200-android.html - - == deprecation: Removal of Legacy Context == - !CordovaInterface may not be a Context object, therefore all plugins that use a context object ctx should use the new Cordova methods to access the activity to use the activities' methods - - {{{ - ctx.getAssets() - }}} - will no longer get the assets of the activity. Instead, plugin developers needing access to the activity should call getActivity, which should be implemented by the !CordovaInterface. It should be noted that if the developer is not using !DroidGap for their application, they are responsible for implementing this method and making sure the main activity is returned, and that plugin developers should be prepared for the case when the activity is null. (i.e. Lock-Screen Widgets). A working example of this method is below. - - {{{ - cordova.getActivity().getAssets() - }}} == deprecation philosophy == All technology deprecates with time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
