Cordova jar is missing in phonegap 3.5.0

Question

Before I am using phonegap 2.7.0. so for phonegap update, I have installed the phonegap version 3.5.0 using node.js, but in the phonegap folder there is no cordova jar file. If I create a project in ADT how can I add cordova.jar and cordova.js? I am unable to see any jar file in phonegap folder. Even If I create a project from command prompt I did not see any phonegap jar file and js file in my created project.

Can any one help me how to create and run my first project using phonegap 3.5.0?

I have the same problem... I tryed to create a new project with [email protected]:

cordova -d create BarcodeTest it.test.BarcodeTest BarcodeTest
cd BarcodeTest
cordova platform add android
cordova build

I opened the project by eclipse and it was full of errors!! :-(

I fixed manually the problem, but Cordova-3.5.0.jar is missing!!

1. Right click on the project and go to "Properties"
2. Select "Java Build Path" on the left
3. Open "Source" tab
4. Click "Add Folder..." and check "gen" and "src"

I resolved the Cordova-3.5.0.jar missing problem in this way:

1. Download https://www.apache.org/dist/cordova/platforms/cordova-android-3.5.0.zip
2. There are two eclipse project CordovaViewTestActivity and Conrdova. Open the library Cordova with eclipse
3. Build and generate in Bin/Cordova.jar
4. Right click on your app's broken project -> Properties -> Android. In the Library tab choose 'Add'. Select Cordova project with cordova.jar

But my project goes in exception when I launch it!!! I think to return to old version of cordova.

I found another solution to generate jar from official documentation http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/guide_platforms_android_webview.md.html

Navigate to the Android package's /framework directory and run ant jar. It creates the Cordova .jar file, formed as /framework/cordova-3.5.0.jar.

Ok it works

C:\LTPReleaseAndroid\cordova-android\framework>android update project -p .

Solution 2

What worked for me is

"Once the Eclipse window opens, a red X may appear to indicate unresolved problems. If so, follow these additional steps:

Right-click on the project directory.

In the resulting Properties dialog, select Android from the navigation pane.

For the project build target, select the highest Android API level you have installed.

Click OK.

Select Clean from the Project menu. This should correct all the errors in the project." from

Thank you will try and let you know

[Vinod]

If I run cordova platform add android the command, I am getting an error that Error occurred while listing Android targets

[Evilripper]

You must check if the android sdk manager there are api 19 (Android 4.4) and if you use windows you must check sdk and PATH system variable: stackoverflow.com/questions/20323787/…

[Vinod]

I have downloaded my ADT. and installed the API 19 in SDK manager. How can we set SDK path in system variable

[Evilripper]

Control Panel->System security ->advanced settings->enviroment variable: add new variables ANDROID_HOME with the c:\sdk\android value ANT_HOME with the c:\tools\apache-ant value Add to variable path: ;%PATH%\tools;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_H‌​OME%\platform-tools 1.bp.blogspot.com/-e3LGS542owY/UiVpZGdMy6I/AAAAAAAAB1E/…
