Add External Jar Library to Build Cordova Plugin (Ionic Framework)

Question

Is that possible to add external jar library like android volley library when build cordova plugin for ionic framework, I have try build cordova plugin like in here, but in that tutorial it just use Android Core abilities, not external android libraries, is there a way to add it and is it possible ?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use dependency libraries in cordova plugins for Android

On the config.xml you have to add it like this

<lib-file src="src/android/libs/yourLibName.jar"/>

The recommended way is adding the library using Gradle (if possible). Volley doesn't seems to be compatible, but you can use this compatible fork

<framework src="com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.19" />
