Add Support for BlackBerry 10

[leandromsales]

Hi Vinny and Felipe, I'm the coordinator of the BlackBerry Tech Center Brazil and I'm developing the support of BlackBerry 10 socket into your plugin and I wish to send you a pull request when I finish it. Do you have interest on that?

Thank, Leandro.

Thank you V.

Hi Vinnylinck, I have finishd the basic implementation, although there are some improvements to be developed. I'm getting in touch because I need some help, maybe you can help me. I forked your project [1] and the current problem that I'm facing is when I try to export the functions (file src/blackberry10/index.js). I tried may different options/configuration in the plugin.xml to make cordova recognize the functions to be called when your plugin call cordova.exec, but any tentative worked.

Basically, in the src/blackberry10/index.js file I put only (for now) two method: connect and other open named ping (for testing purpose). The index.js.bk file is another version of something that I was trying to do. The current index.js is just something that I did to see if cordova is able to call the methods, what is not working. I see in your cordova.exec that you used _ID as Socket. I'm not so expert in Cordova Plugin development, so I'd like to know what exactly I have to do in the index.js to properly export the plugin function (connect, disconnect, disconnectAll etc.), because the way that I'm doing is not working (please check the code). Should I export my functions using module.exports and make a specific setup in the plugins.xml? I saw in the WP8 plugin that they use a commandProxy to determina what structure will handle the cordova.exec calls, but in the case of BlackBerry I did not find anything similar. Although I'm doing module.exports, nothing is merge in com.tlantic.plugins.socket.Socket. I saw in WP8 plugin that they export "Socket" to be the structure they defined containing the plugin functions that handles the cordova.exec, but I don't know how to do that since there is no mechanism for proxy, like WP API provides. I read so many docs about cordova plugin api, but in certain moment I got lost with so many concepts and tentatives.

Anyway, the easiest part for me was to develop the native code. I had som experience developing others plugin for BlackBerry in Cordova, but for this one, there is something that I don't know what to do. Can you please try to help me? in src/blackberry10/ there other two .js files that I implemented when I was trying to do something different.

Thank you.

Hi @leandroal

Should I export my functions using module.exports and make a specific setup in the plugins.xml? Yes you should, you really need to expose it.

Please, try to see how the others are linked, I will check your implementation and let you know.
