-------------------------------------
Summary: Cordova does not allow creating and editing resource files
Key: CB-14262
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14262
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-android
Affects Versions: 7.0.0
Reporter: Tobias Larscheid
Hi,
in my cordova plugin, I am trying to edit the resulting android apps
`colors.xml` file. Unfortunately, by default the android app cordova creates
does not have a `colors.xml` file - this means the following code does nothing,
as a non existent file is simply ignored (without warning or error).
{code:java}
<config-file target="./res/values/colors.xml" parent="/resources">
<color name="my-color">#F00000</color>
</config-file>{code}
What I tried instead now was first creating the file by simply copying over an
empty one with the `resource-file` directive and then editing it, resulting in
a plugin.xml like the following:
{code:java}
<resource-file src="path/to/colors.xml"
target="app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml" />
<config-file target="./res/values/colors.xml" parent="/resources">
<color name="my-color">#F00000</color>
</config-file>{code}
The file is copied to the correct place, but still not modified. I am guessing
that `config-file` is somehow executed earlier than `resource-file`.
Also if I simply add my color to *strings*.xml, it works flawlessly - because
the android app build with cordova does indeed contain a strings.xml by default.
What I would like to achieve now is either
a) make the `config-file` directive lazily create the colors.xml if it doesn't
exist
b) create an empty colors.xml and fill it with the `config-file` directive
Any ideas are welcome!
