How to add native module to Cordova Android project?

问题

I want to add a native (integration test) module to a Cordova Android project.

For fully native projects, you just add a new module, commit and be done with it. But for Cordova I of course don't really want to mess with the generated Android project as some of these changes might be lost on build etc.

I got a Poof of Concept of the module working manually by having the module folder outside of the Cordova Android folder and adding this to settings.gradle:

include ':module-androidTest'
project(':module-androidTest').projectDir = new File("../module-tests")

But of course line 1 of that file already says

// GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT

Is there any other way to add additional modules to a Cordova Android project?

Some approaches I researched or thought about:

• Can I somehow do this with build-extras.gradle? (I don't think so as settings.gradle is several steps before build-extras and build.gradle, right?)

• Older StackOverflow questions suggest manually editing a GradleBuilder.js file: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35504783/252627 But of course this would get lost each time I completely generate a new Cordova project. Not a good idea, correct?

• Can I maybe work around this somehow via a Cordova plugin? I know these can load frameworks etc - maybe also a module somehow?

回答1:

I think what you are looking for can be done using a custom plugin which can extend the base gradle config using a framework tag like this:

<framework src="relative/path/to/your/gradlefile/*.gradle" custom="true" type="gradleReference" />

This is how a cordova-android project is usually extended.
