Phonegap Build How Do You Add Plugins To App

The document says: 'There are two steps to including a plugin in your project: Importing the native code using the config.xml Referencing the JavaScript code for the plugin' http:/

Solution 1:

if you want to include the bar code scanner with phonegap build you coulde do the following,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <widget xmlns   = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
    xmlns:gap   = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
    id          = "com.phonegap.example"
    versionCode = "10"
    version     = "1.0.0" >

    <!-- versionCode is optional and Android only -->

    <!-- We'll include the Barcode plugin as an example -->
    <gap:plugin name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner" />
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.camera"/>
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.device-motion"/>
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.device-orientation"/>
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.file-transfer"/>
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.geolocation"/>
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.dialogs"/>
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.vibration"/>

</widget>

This is an example config.xml file to include in the same directory as your homepage. In the javascript file you don't include any scripts for plugins(make sure

<script src="cordova.js"></script> 

is included). Just call the plugin methods and build will handle the rest for you.For example I have included the vibration plugin above. If I wanted my phone to vibrate I would simply call a function like this,

function test(){
    navigator.notification.vibrate(1000);

}

There is no need for anything like,

<script src="barcodescanner.js"></script>

Just make sure the plugin is referenced in the config.xml file and everything should be ok
