custom plugin build error Visual studio

[Felix De Lille]

Hi,

 

When i deploy to apk package, i always get this.

I don't understand, it's almost the same as other plugin. The IOS part works.

Main error looks to be this:

VideoEditing.java:1: error: ';' expected

 the java code:

package cordova-plugin-video-editing;

public class VideoEditing extends CordovaPlugin {

    //@Override
    public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
        return false;
    }

}

the js code:

exports.editVideo = function (source, audiosource, speed, mute, success, error) {
    cordova.exec(success, failure,
             "VideoEditing",
             "editVideo",
             [source, target]);
};

 

The complete error:

Hi Felix,

The Android implementation of the plugin seems incomplete. For instance it is missing imports to:

• org.apache.cordova.CordovaPlugin;
• org.apache.cordova.CallbackContext;
• org.json.JSONArray;
• org.json.JSONException;
• org.json.JSONObject;

However, adding only those doesn't resolve the issue and I will need more time to run the app in Android Studio and try to extract the underlying JAVA errors. Are you looking to create an implementation similar o the one of this plugin.

I will update this thread as soon as I have more information - hopefully later today. In the meantime, please let me know if you've managed to resolve the issue yourself.

Hi,

i's ok, it works now. Thanks for trying to sort it out.

Indeed it was the imports. I started using android studio also to debug.
It was a bit hard to migrate to VS afterwards but adding gradle.build for my mp4parser dependency went very well. I'm glad this process is so easy now to add maven libs. I tried first with jar file but that's far more difficult. It wasn't finding the imports even after adding source-file in the config.xml.

That plugin you describe is too basic. We wanted to slow motion the video which isn't available there.  I also don't see how to mux audio and video.

I see the lib has ffmpeg for android which could have done the trick but ffmpeg would have added 23MB in size to the apk which isn't acceptable.

Just a note: I'm having problem with the telerik forums sometimes not being accessible ("page not found"). I tried on all browsers (sometimes not all) mostly happens when i'm at my work's internet. It's very strange. The appbuilder docs are always available, it's mostly the forums.

 

Thanks again

Hi Felix,

I am happy to see you were able to develop the plugin further. Let me know if you experience any issues with it moving forward.

As for the forums, I am not sure what might be the culprit behind that behavior. My best guess is that at times the connection is slower and the forums cannot fully load. We can try to investigate that report further, but we'll need a Fiddler capture of the request from your machine to our forums at the time of the failure. A screencast of what you're seeing might also help. Thank you in advance.
