Hello All, I have been working on Google Glass support for Cordova and hit a wall. I am looking for some guidance/advice on how to proceed. There are a couple things that I need to deal with but I will start with just creating the proper project. I have a feeling this will not only be about google glass but a issue we will come across later.
Essentially in order to make this happen I need to modify AndroidManifest.xml and add some resources to the project. Ideally This would be a custom template of some kind for an android project. Possibly running a command like "cordova platform add android glass". The other option is to just modify the existing android project after it has been added, this seems messy though and a problem if the user trashes the android project they have to remember to run whatever command modifies the project for glass again. Once I am able to get a basic project together for Glass the next thing is events. In order to get touch pad events into the webview it requires a bit of tweaking, so I need some java code to handle this. I am not sure if this should be a plugin or not. It seems like it should not be a plugin as it really is essential for the project to even really work. I could then see voice as a plugin? Currently I am planning on making a 3rd party node package that you would run against your project. Something like "cordova-glass __VOICE_TRIGGER__", that would then check for an android project, create it if needed, then modify it for glass. It would add the voice trigger to start your app and such. If it already exists it will just make the tweaks needed. This will at least get the ball rolling and allow people to start building apps pretty easily, then maybe we can find a more efficient way to create the project for users? Anyways I would love for anyone to chime in, I will be cranking away on this but any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -ross
