Cordova UWP Plugin with a UIElement #295

Closed JonasLaux closed 5 years ago

JonasLaux commented 6 years ago

Hey everyone , Currently i have a Cordova plugin and a UWP Class library. The library is using native UIElements for different UI workflows. Is there a way to display those UIElements? I read, that XAML views can't be displayed. Is there a workaround somehow? Maybe we can put the WebView in the background in fire up a native View. If yes, how do we get the current page, like in Android (cordova.getActivity())? Thanks in advance!

No, this is unfortunately not possible with Cordova Windows.

The generated project is a "UWP Javascript" project (`.jsproj), where the whole app is a webview, so you can't render anything behind oder above the main webview. All the APIs for XAML and related UI stuff are also just not available in this type of app.
