accessing the Couchlite Manager shared instance on Android

[Zumo]

Hi Everyone,

I am writing an app using the Phonegap Couchlite plugin and I need to access the Manager instance from another in house plugin.

When on IOS I use :

 CBLManager *manager = [CBLManager sharedInstance]; 

And it works OK

On Android I am trying :

 Manager manager = Manager.getSharedInstance(); 

As a result I am getting an Exception :

• e = {java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException@831704908064}"java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: getSharedInstance() is not a valid API call on Android. Pure java version coming soon" 
  

What is the recommended approach in Android to get access to the Couchlite Manager if getSharedInstance is not supported ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Christian

See example here:

http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile/develop/guides/couchbase-lite/native-api/manager/index.html#creating-a-manager

public class Application extends android.app.Application {
    private Manager manager;
    private static Context mContext;
    
    ...
    
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        mContext = getApplicationContext();
        try {
            /*
             * In Java the Manager instance and all the objects descending
             * from it may be used on any thread.
             */
            manager = new Manager(new AndroidContext(mContext), Manager.DEFAULT_OPTIONS);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Cannot create Manager instance", e);
            return;
        }
    }
}

Thanks a lot for your post , 

I wanted to avoid having to change the code in the CBL phonegap plugin (the code that creates the Manager) , but seems like I'll have to ..

It should already be doing the right thing, see:
