'ionic cordova run android' removes dependencies from build.gradle on android platform

[StefanoMartella]

Hi,

I implemented a Notification Extender Service to manage icoming notifications when my app is killed, I need to store them in a database to retrieve their content when the user reopens the app. To store notifications I overwritten the onNotificationProcessing method of NotificationExtenderService class and through Room Persistence Library I store them in a SQLite database. In order to use Room Library I added the following lines to my build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START
    implementation(project(path: ":CordovaLib"))
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.0.4"
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.0.4"
    compile "com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+"
    compile "com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+"
    compile "com.onesignal:OneSignal:3.9.0"

    // I ADDED THE FOLLOWING TWO LINES
    implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.1.1"
    annotationProcessor "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.1.1"

    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END
}

Now, if I run my application through Android Studio everything goes fine, but if I try to run 'ionic cordova run android' from command line the lines I added are deleted during the process and then I get missed room persistance library error.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help

EDIT:

I did not read this comment:

/*
 * WARNING: Cordova Lib and platform scripts do management inside of this code here,
 * if you are adding the dependencies manually, do so outside the comments, otherwise
 * the Cordova tools will overwrite them
 */

Sorry

Could you please close this issue :) And btw, that has nothing to do with Ionic, that's Cordova ;)
