Hi,
I'm trying to get more interaction with the android phone camera than is available with the image field in the vanilla SDK. I'm running SDK version 6.2.1
I tried installing the camera plugin with the command:
native>$ ../cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-cameraand that partially worked with the error:
Error: Uh oh!
"/Users/stevec/GIT/...../native/platforms/android/res/xml/provider_paths.xml" already exists!
I compared that old file with the one being installed - and they were the same, other than some comments. So I removed the old version, and ran the command again - which worked.
I made changes to the custom codebase and tried to build an android debug version. But it eventually came back with the error:
/Users/stevec/GIT/...../native/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml:55:9-57:20 Error:
Element provider#android.support.v4.content.FileProvider at AndroidManifest.xml:55:9-57:20 duplicated with element declared at AndroidManifest.xml:39:9-41:20
Looking at lines 39 and 55, I have:
39:
<provider android:authorities="com.xxxxx_app.crm.fileviwerplugin.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider">
<meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
55:
<provider android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider">
<meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
I subsequently rebuilt the native directory with:
./sdk init-native --platform android
and that cleared out the camera plugin and all built OK again. So it was definely something to do with the camera plugin.
Any ideas? I really need the additional camera functionality.
