Resolution: Fixed
> Update Android Project Structure to be more compatible with Android Studio
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-11244
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11244
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cordova-android
> Reporter: Joe Bowser
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: CordovaAndroidSix, android-next
>
> Currently our existing Android projects have the old Android Project
> structure created by default, even for new projects, which makes no sense
> since we no longer support Eclipse as the default project editor and have
> moved to Android Studio for Android development.
> The main reason for doing this is to clean up dependencies and to allow for
> projects and dependencies to work more like how modern Android projects work
> and to remove as much custom Gradle code as possible. This would also allow
> us in the future to move towards having Android Plugin code work as Android
> Libraries with Resources instead of just copying things across, which gives
> us the ability to add JUnit tests and bundled resources. This would
> dramatically increase the quality of plugins such as InAppBrowser, and third
> party plugins such as the Barcode Scanner.
> This would have to be done on the next major version, and the upgrade would
> be tricky to do. However, the benefits at this point would greatly outweigh
> the costs of maintaining the old project structure. The old cordova-common
> code in Cordova-Android 5.0.x would allow for plugins in the short term to
> work with both projects until we get the new project structure ready.
