56 errors when upgrading to 2.7.0

[Michael SBCERA]

I upgraded to 2.7.0 and none of my plugins work. I have a lot of "cordova cannot be resolved" errors, some "cordova cannot be resolved or is not a field" errors, some "plugin cannot be resolved to a type" errors, some "The import org.apache.cordova.api.Plugin cannot be resolved", and a few others.

I'm not sure what happened.

Which version did you have before?
There are phonegap upgradin guides and plugin updating guides

[Michael SBCERA]

The upgrade guides stop at 2.5. I have been upgrading since like 1.3 or something. Seems like there is always some new catch.

It seems like it has to do with the .java file of the plugins. I built a new 2.7.0 project and brought everything over. As soon as I add the src folder that has com/phonegap/plugins/........ I get the error. I also get an error with the plugin that is com/pushwoosh/plugin/pushnotifications so it is not the phonegap name in folder structure.

It looks like you have to change plugins to:
 
import org.apache.cordova.api.CordovaPlugin;
public class ChildBrowser extends CordovaPlugin

instead of:

import org.apache.cordova.api.Plugin;
public class ChildBrowser extends Plugin

but then I have error for:

this.success(result, this.browserCallbackId);

[Michael SBCERA]

Apparently all the plugins have to be updated again. So ChildBrowser doesn't work, Google Analytics doesn't work, etc. Fun stuff.

[jcesarmobile]

On 2.7 you have inAppBrowser built in, it's better than childbrowser

[mictam]

I disagree that it is better, but either way several plugins no longer work in 2.7. I made some edits to code, but still have problems.

Hi I have similar issues..

My App works on 2.5 PhoneGap, but fails on storage reads, Json convert, local file reads, and more.. 

I am really interested in hearing comments. and experience.. 

I only use one Plugin that is not OOTB, and that is the Video plugin.. 

Thanks in advance

Kim

Not enough information. Define "fails". What do you get in the logs? What platform(s) are you supporting? What OS version(s)?

I posted some of the errors I originally ran across. For my situation it is a case of plugins not having been updated to reflect whatever changes happened in either 2.6 or 2.7. Everything worked fine until the upgrade. I have corrected a number of the errors in the plugins but still have two that are preventing me from running the emulator to see if the changes even worked. This is Android/Eclipse:

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
The method execute(String, JSONArray, String) of type GoogleAnalyticsTracker must override or implement a supertype method    GoogleAnalyticsTracker.java    /Project/src/com/phonegap/plugins/analytics    line 39    Java Problem
  
This is line 39: public PluginResult execute(String action, JSONArray data, String callbackId)

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
The method success(PluginResult, String) is undefined for the type ChildBrowser    ChildBrowser.java    /Project/src/com/phonegap/plugins/childBrowser    line 411    Java Problem

And this is line 411:             this.success(result, this.browserCallbackId);

As I said I'm not sure correcting these errors will fix the plugins though.

I was referring to Kim Ras' email...

Ah. Any thoughts on the original issue or does it seem like the plugins just need to be upgraded?

[Kim Ras]

Hi,

It actually do not fail.. I found that it is because the FileReader returns a empty string.. and no errors.. It is on IOS and Android, and on local buils and on build.phonepag.com

ODD..

Thanks

Kim

To michael, yes, at least on iOS all the plugins need to be updated if they were using the deprecated syntax

[Simon MacDonald]

This post should help you update your Java code. Lemme know if I
missed anything as I wrote it up pretty fast.
