Hello,

I managed to run the plugin by executing the following steps:

First, I created a new blank project in AppBuilder;
In it, I added the plugin from an archive (downloaded from GitHub);
Next, I added the following in the iOS Config.xml:

<feature name="SocialSharing">

<param name="ios-package" value="SocialSharing" />

</feature>

and the following in the Android Config.xml:

<feature name="SocialSharing">

<param name="android-package" value="nl.xservices.plugins.SocialSharing"/>

</feature>
Inside the plugin.xml, I deleted the js-module:

<js-module src="www/SocialSharing.js" name="SocialSharing">

<clobbers target="window.plugins.socialsharing" />

</js-module>

and instead, I added asset to the SocialSharing.js file, like this:

<asset src="www/SocialSharing.js" target="SocialSharing.js" />
Finally, in the Index.html of the project I inserted a reference to the SocialSharing.js file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="SocialSharing.js"></script>

The whole Index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

    <head>

        <script type="text/javascript" src="SocialSharing.js"></script>

    </head>

    <body>

        <script>

            if (typeof SocialSharing !== 'undefined'){

              // plugin is available

            alert("okay!");

                SocialSharing.share('Message and subject', 'The subject');

            }else{

            alert("nope!");

            }

        </script>

    </body>

</html>
Building and deploying the app on a device resulted with 'okay!' alert.

I am attaching my project for your guidance.

Thanks. You gotta be very lucky.
I imported the zip as a project and "bim"! "nope!"
I created a new project followed all the instructions and still "nope!".
Don't know what's wrong

Hi again Gilles,

I am glad that you have found a solution working on your side.

I want to apologize, as in my previous post I did not provide the best and recommended approach for configuring the Social Sharing plugin. I would like to do this now and it is only up to you if you wish to stick with the already working plugin, or change it.

As the Social Sharing plugin is Cordova Plugman compatible, it is a lot easier to integrate it inside an AppBuilder project. The next steps shows this. Note, the first two steps are the same as before:

First, I created a new blank project in AppBuilder;
In it, I added the plugin from an archive (downloaded from GitHub);
Then, without changing or adding anything else, I check if the plugin is initialized after onDeviceReady. And if so, I share a message, like this (this is code from the index.js file):

onDeviceReady: function() {

    app.receivedEvent('deviceready');

    navigator.splashscreen.hide();

    app.shareMsg();

},

shareMsg: function() {

    if (typeof window.plugins.socialsharing !== 'undefined'){

      // plugin is available

        alert("Social Sharing plugin is initialized!");

        window.plugins.socialsharing.share('Message and subject', 'The subject');

    }else{

    alert("Social Sharing plugin is undefined!");

    }

},

I have attached the new project for your guidance.

I hope you find this useful. Please, let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Martin,

If you are referring to my previous reply in this forum thread, I must say that it is a bit obsolete as now we completely depend on Plugman and all the custom Cordova plugins use js-module for including their javascript files in the project. This said, you will only need to import the custom plugins in the AppBuilder project in order to utilize their features. Here are the relevant articles for that:
- Import custom Cordova plugins
- Install Telerik Verified plugins

As for examples, you can check the Telerik Verified Plugins Marketplace sample applications, as you can directly clone them inside AppBuilder.

I hope this helps.

Visit the Telerik Verified Plugins Marketplace and get the custom Cordova plugin you need, already tweaked to work seamlessly with AppBuilder.
