cordova-plugin-androidx

cordova-plugin-androidx

This Cordova/Phonegap plugin enables AndroidX in a Cordova project (AndroidX is the successor to the Android Support Library).

This plugin is useful if your project contains plugins which have migrated to AndroidX or if you otherwise want to enable AndroidX in your Cordova Android platform project.

Requirements

This plugin requires a minimum of cordova@9 and cordova-android@8.

Installation

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx

IMPORTANT: This plugin relies on Cordova hook scripts so will not work in Cloud Build environments such as Phonegap Build which do not support Cordova hook scripts.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed it will persistently enable AndroidX by editing the gradle.properties file in your Cordova Android platform project.

If you encounter build failures after installing this plugin (or after manually enabling AndroidX) try installing cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter into your Cordova project; it will migrate any references to the legacy Android Support library in the Gradle config or Java source to use the new AndroidX mappings which should resolve build failures due to referencing legacy Support Library assets.
