How to add plugins to cordova embedded webview in android studio?

[Nathan]

I've followed the steps to embed a cordova webview in an android studio project by following these steps and it built successfully: Cordova Embedded WebView Android

I'm trying to install the cordova plugin.

What I did so far was create an empty cordova project. Add the android file plugin.

Then I copied over the plugins folder along with cordova.js and cordova_plugins to the android studio assets/www directory. I also added the config.xml file to the res/xml directory.

The error I'm getting is:

11-04 12:00:37.310  12146-12146/com.example.cordovahybrid W/System.err﹕ java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.cordova.file.FileUtils

and also:

11-04 12:00:37.350  12146-12146/com.example.cordovahybrid W/System.err﹕ Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/cordova/file/FileUtils

I've also looked at this resource: Cordova 3.5 embedded webview with plugins but it did not fix my problem.
