When I try to run my project, this error comes up:

Before trying to run/build the project, I had an error on adding the Webview+ plugin, but I was able to resolve it by injecting this property to my project.properties file android.library.reference.1=..\\..\\..\\plugins\\com.ludei.webview.plus\\android and running the -d flag.

I have Android API 19, currently implementing this on an Ionic Framework project. I would love to implement Webview+ to provide consistent performance across the future user-base of the app I am building, but cannot get it to run with this error at hand.

[alastairparagas]

Any possible update on this problem?

Hello alastairparagas

You need to install Google Api level 19, please read the following page to know more:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html

Cheers

[alastairparagas]

I already have API level 19 as stated on my first issue post and can compile/run my Cordova Files just fine. However, this error is still up.

Make sure you are using the latest cli version because the problem related to the path "android.library.reference.1" was solved some weeks ago.

$ npm uninstall -g cocoonjs
$ npm install -g cocoonjs

Then try again

[alastairparagas]

Will give it a try tonight, though I npm installed cocoonjs just this past Sunday.

[alastairparagas]

Weird problems. When I run Cordova (through Ionic), I get no error compilation, and a proof that Cordova is detecting that I have Android API 19.

Any possible solutions?

[alastairparagas]

I guess there are no solutions. For anyone who stumble upon the same problem but want an alternative, Crosswalk is also another alternative. https://crosswalk-project.org/

[mcfarljw]

Hey @alastairparagas, I ran the commands based on your last example and it installed without issue. This is on a Windows 8.1 machine. I'll paste in the command log in hopes that it might shed some light. I think the cocoonjs webview+ is actually partially based on crosswalk. It might also help to mention that I think I'm using build tools 20.

Can you verify which version of Cordova you have install by running cordova --version from the install directory?

Hei @alastairparagas do you have latest build tools installed? Here's working with no issues. windows 7 with a fresh install of:

• Oracle java 6 (Java SE Development Kit 6u45)
• apache ant 1.9.4 http://ftp.cixug.es/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.4-bin.zip
• latest android SDK with http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702.zip
• latest cordova version
• latest cocoonjs-cli
  I'd double check if you have android tools in your path (this is, execute "android" and "adb" commands on a shell in windows) and you've them accessible.
  Execute the android command, and install the API SDK19 on your PC.

Hi @alastairparagas, we were able to reproduce your error.
While we release a fix for your bug, try the following:

• Import your project to eclipse (assuming you've latest tools, as @txusinho said). You'll find 3 different projects, import them all
• Head to the one named "android" and select the project.properties file.
• You'll see a project.properties file inside that project. Open it
• Change the current string: target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:19 to target=android-19
• Execute again cocoonjs plugin add com.ludei.webview.plus
• Execute cocoonjs run, with a device attached

[alastairparagas]

@ludei Thank you for the solution. I'll try it tonight and get back to you if the solution did work.
