Cordova and Ionic: plugin not updating

2
votes

I have a question concerning plugins. I am using the ionic framework (http://ionicframework.com/) and Cordova for my hybrid app. I am using a toast (text popup) plugin to provide some feedback. Everything works but I decided that I needed some customization so I edited some of the .java files. It seems that my edit has no impact, it's really strange, the plugin also seems to keep working even when I comment out the execute function.

I am using the following ionic command to test the app on my smartphone: "ionic run android"

Any idea why the plugin is not updating? Thanks in advance!

where did you change plugin code? in your project or in location from where you did install the plugin? - Maxim Shoustin
I installed the plugin using this command: phonegap local plugin add github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Toast-PhoneGap-Plugin.git. And than I edited its .java files - Jdruwe
I didn't use ionic run android command but run from Eclipse. I'm not sure that this command compiles your project. It only takes project apk and runs on connected device. Compile project first. - Maxim Shoustin
I am using webstorm for my whole project, any idea how I can do that? - Jdruwe
Can you see the plugin changes under these folder platforms/android/src/<package name or directory>/<filename.java>? - Aditya Singh

I had issues with plugins as well and decided to remove/add them back in, then update platform and it worked.

cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.<plugin>
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.<plugin>
cordova platform update <platform>

When I remove my android platform and install it back it works (it seems the only place where it installs plugins)
