Creating a .jar file

mikeB · November 2017

I am creating a Cordova plugin. I saw the work here by LSDeluca and that has provided good guidance. My challenge is creating a .jar file for /src that has just the classes my app needs. I looked at the content of the last released .jar (2.8.8) it looks like it is created from "MetaWear-SDK-Android/library/src/main/java/com/mbientlab/metawear/" but it also included MetaWearBleService classes and a BuildConfig.class. So: a) have I correctly identified how a useful .jar would be created and b) Where do the latter classes come from? Or is there a .jar for the latest release. TIA for any guidance or assistance.

Android libraries are distributed as AAR files. Check out the Android developer page for specifics.

Probably the simplest way to include the Android SDK in your plugin is to incorporate Gradle into your build and add the 'metawear' package as compile dependency.
