port existing Android app into phoneGap eclipse

[nasim]

Hello

I have a complex android app project (not developed by me) in eclipse with multiple packages and activities. My goal is to convert it into a phoneGap project and then build an ios app with the minimum code change.

What I've done so far is that I created a phoneGap project using CLI and add android platform and copied my project files into android platform directory and then I import that folder in eclipse , I changed the main activity to have the starting point of program an empty html file and was able to run this project on android device. But when trying to build android in CLI it does not build. 

There is also another android project created in that directory called cordovaLib. My question is how should I change these 2 projects with the least code changes ( I don't want to convert java files into html/css code) in order to be able to build android in CLI and build ios app afterward?

Thanks,

PhoneGap only uses html, css, and JavaScript files in the www folder. It's up to you to decide how your Java files will interact with them from outside the www folder.

I set the start point of my android app to an empty index.html file and app is working fine when built in eclipse. Can I build it in CLI too?

Thanks, I'm now trying to write a custom cordova plugin.

In my plugin java class that extends CordovaPlugin I have to import a package like import com.example.hello.my.package;

When I try to run android I get this error:

>cordova run android 

.....

    [javac] C:\Users\nasim\Desktop\MyPhoneGapApp\platforms\android\src\c

om\example\hello\MyPlugin.java:11: error: package  com.example.hello.my does not exist

    [javac] import com.example.hello.my.package;

    [javac]                                                   ^

    [javac] 2 errors

    [javac] 3 warnings

BUILD FAILED

Any help on how can i import a package into my plugin?

Thanks,
