PGB shows no plugin #34

Closed JohnHigbie closed 9 years ago

Hi Don, Added the gap:plugin line to config.sys (and using the chat example for testing), but PGB shows no plugins. Is there something else I need to do here? Thanks, John

I don't use PhoneGap build much. From what I recall as long as you add gap:plugin into config.xml, the plugin should get installed.

<gap:plugin name="com.megster.cordova.ble" version="0.1.0" />

This plugin doesn't have Chat example, which code are you using? I'd check config.xml for syntax errors and try uploading it again.

Hi Don.

The example is from the plugin repository examples folder: https://github.com/don/cordova-plugin-ble-central/tree/d43c7423e8b4eabb1d0fc801be2449b2a9182e88/examples/redbearlab.

I added the <gap:plugin... line to the example's config.xml and put it in the www folder for upload, which is how I've been doing it with bluetoothserial. I also tried including the ble.js, and adding its path in index.html. I tried having ble.js in both the js folder and the top www folder.

Do I need to be using the plugins.xml, or is that just for building it locally?

When I say that PGB doesn't show the plugin I'm referring to the plugins tab below the update & rebuild buttons. Also, the app doesn't do anything when you click "Refresh."

Best, John

Make sure your config.xml is valid. I needed to add 

xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"

Once the gap namespace was added PhoneGap Build showed the plugin in the web UI.

Here's my test project https://github.com/don/pgb-test

The plugin installer adds ble.js and the other files into your project. You don't need to add the javascript or a reference in index.html. The plugins.xml file tells Cordova (or plugman) how to install the plugin. The tool reads that file, you can safely ignore it.

Hi Don, I guess that was the issue. I now have your pgb-test app functioning here, but only on IOS. On a Nexus 7 tablet, the Biscuit (Red Bear BLE mini) doesn't appear in the app. The Refresh button doesn't bring up anything. Also, I tried, but wasn't able to pair with the BLE mini in Settings. Using Android 4.4.2. Any ideas? Thanks, John
