-------------------------
Summary: CLI cordova prepare fails to copy the common files to
android platform
Key: CB-5143
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5143
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android, CLI
Affects Versions: 3.1.0
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Peter
Priority: Blocker
I had created a CLI project, and then used CLI to add the android platform and
add many plugins, etc.
Then I used *cordova prepare* to copy my "common" www files to the android
platform folders. This step worked OK for the simple _HelloWorld_ example from
the CLI online guide, but for my full CLI project the prepare did not copy
anything. The prepare processed the plugins OK, but nothing copied, and there
was no error or any other indication what went wrong. (The -d debug flag did
not help much either)
Eventually, after consuming a lot of coffee the problem was isolated to a file
called _android_parser.js_ which executes during the cordova prepare processing.
This code...
{code}
var orig_java_class = fs.readdirSync(orig_pkgDir).filter(function(f) {return
f.indexOf('.svn') == -1;})[0];
{code}
is apparently assuming that the main app java class is the _only_ (or _first_?)
file found in the package directory. But this assumption is incorrect for my
project (e.g. there are other sub-packages which were found ahead of the .java
file) and so the script was failing shortly after this line of code, resulting
in no copy... :(
For example, my project structure resembles
{code}
src
\-- com
\-- fujitsu
\-- mypkg
\-- apkg1
\-- bpkg2
MyApp.java
\-- zpkg3
{code}
To get arround this issue I am currently using using a hacky workaround -
renaming the app java file with a prefix "AAA_" so that at least the zero
offset can find it OK.
{code}
src
\-- com
\-- fujitsu
\-- mypkg
AAA_MyApp.java
\-- apkg1
\-- bpkg2
\-- zpkg3
{code}
With this hack in place the cordova prepare copies the common files as expected.
BTW - In fact I don't even use this file at all because my
_AndroidManifest.xml_ is manually configured to launch a completely different
main activity. But I have to leave this dummy AAA_MyApp.java file lying around
just so the CLI cordova prepare will behave properly. If not for this issue
then I would just delete it.
