Phonegap v3.x

[mwager]

Is it possible to use the plugin with phongap v3.x (yet)?

I could'nt get it running, the readme.md seems not to be very helpful here.

Should I use plugman? or does the plugin need upgrading for use via the new node based cli tools? ("cordova plugin add ...")

Tested only on Android yet (phonegap 3.0 on a mac, followed manual install, using cordova-3.0.0.jar)

"adb logcat" output:

W/PluginManager(31200): THREAD WARNING: exec() call to PushPlugin.register 
blocked the main thread for 30ms. Plugin should use 
CordovaInterface.getThreadPool().

Cheers,
Michael

I can't even install it via the 3.0 CLI tools =\

I now got it installed using the following command:

$ plugman --platform android --project ./platforms/android --plugin https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin.git

However, the Java Plugin (PushPlugin.java) should be modified:

From

import org.apache.cordova.api.CallbackContext;
import org.apache.cordova.api.CordovaPlugin;

To

import org.apache.cordova.CallbackContext;
import org.apache.cordova.CordovaPlugin;

I found this by looking at other Phonegap 3.0 JavaPlugins like Device.java.
I don't know if this is the best approach but now I reveive messages on real android devices.

It would be really great if the docs could be updated.

@Hiroio I somehow got around this error by adding following temporary to my android's config.xml:
Also, the plugman outputs lots of errors if files already exist. Trying delete them helped me.

<plugin></plugin>

[jdhiro]

Yeah, it looks like the plugin.xml needs to be updated to avoid installation errors. At a bare minimum...

<config-file target="res/xml/config.xml" parent="plugins"> needs to be <config-file target="res/xml/config.xml" parent="/*">.

Docs are behind on the 3.0 plugin changes, so I'm looking at the core plugins as a reference. I'll try to pull together a pull request for plugin.xml changes.

This error appears on my phone:-

error: Class not found

For Android!

EDIT:
The error shown in Eclipse is:
07-23 15:26:27.720: D/PluginManager(20853): exec() call to unknown plugin: PushPlugin

I observed that the Push plugin doesn't get copied to the \platforms\android\assets\www\plugins unlike other core plugins.
I tried a lot, but I'm very confused because of the directory structure having similar names.

[mwager]

@Pragith Try adding the following to res/xml/config.xml:

<feature name="PushPlugin">
    <param name="android-package" value="com.plugin.gcm.PushPlugin" />
</feature>

[Pragith]

@mwager OMG!
Thanks a lot! It worked. You don't know for how long I've been working on this issue.

[jdhiro]

I just submitted a pull request for Cordova and cordova-cli 3.0 issues -- issue #39.

[jdhiro]

@mwager have you had any luck with iOS? I'm not getting any errors, but the tokenHandler callback never gets fired now.

Edit 1
I'm getting this in the XCode console. I haven't been able to track down the issue yet:

2013-07-23 22:47:46.648 [11370:907] ERROR: Method 'register:' not defined in Plugin 'PushPlugin'

    }
  ]
]

Edit 2
From reading the 3.0 release notes, it would appear that the old signature of:

- (void)register:(NSMutableArray *)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary *)options;

has been removed and needs to be replaced with something like

- (void)myMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;

This is going to have to wait until tomorrow...

[mwager]

@Hiroio I didn't try with iOS and pg 3.0 yet since I'm focussed on Android only right now. Think I'll wait to see what's going on here...

[jdhiro]

This should all be fixed in my pull request
#39

I am getting this error after excuted plugman cli and pushplugin.java:

Warning: Ignoring platform 'android-10': build.prop is missing.
Warning: Ignoring add-on 'addon-google_apis-google-14': File not found: manifest.ini

[jdhiro]

@mohan5070 if I had to take a guess, it would be that the v13 support APIs are clobbering the v14 APIs that you apparently already have in your project or something. You probably have to get that sorted out in Eclipse somehow. (Sorry, I'm not going to be of much help there since I've migrated to Android Studio.)

[mohan5070]

@jdhiro Thanks. I fixed all the issues.

[elsigh]

I had to change the tag in plugin.xml to a jsmodule tag in order to get the CLI prepare function to install the plugin to the proper location.

[elsigh]

Also, I had to rewrite the plugin JS itself to fit to the new plugin syntax (i.e. it gets wrapped by the cordova fn and put in cordova_plugins.js)

Should I send in a pull? I think this may break backwards-compat.
