Hi,
When one is writing a plugin for android ATM the api that you have to implement
has a execute method that has the action as a string:
@Override
public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext
callbackContext) throws JSONException {
if ("beep".equals(action)) {
this.beep(args.getLong(0));
callbackContext.success();
return true;
}
return false; // Returning false results in a "MethodNotFound" error.
}
When you have multiple actions this method gets very long, if you compare this
with iOS here you don’t need a method like this you could ‘just’ implement the
method directly:
- (void)beep:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
{
CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = nil;
NSString* myarg = [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0];
if (myarg != nil) {
pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult
resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK];
} else {
pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult
resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_ERROR messageAsString:@"Arg was null"];
}
[self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult
callbackId:command.callbackId];
}
We could do the same thing for android if we use reflection, making the API
more similar and removing all the string test by the user. What do you think?
