如何在基于phonegap的项目中添加cordova插件？

Question

I've created a phonegap project, with the CLI :

phonegap create Projectname

This works fine and I can start it without problems. Now I want to add this Barcodescanner : https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner . I did this some time ago in my cordova based project like this:

 cordova plugin add https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner.git 

Now I tried this with my Phonegap based project and it's obviously not working. But I've tried

phonegap local plugin add https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner.git 

too, which is not working too... Now is there one more possibility to add plugins, and thats plugman, but I don't get the plugman syntax at all ... Could you tell me at first why the phonegap command is not working and how to add the plugin with plugman. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

The problem is the version from wildabeast is not compactible for phonegap version >3.2

Try adding this barcode scanner plugin,its specific to phonegap https://github.com/phonegap-build/BarcodeScanner

Install it using the syntax

phonegap local plugin add https://github.com/phonegap-build/BarcodeScanner

To get it to work I created a new project and copied my www to it and installed the plugin.It did not work for me in the old project.It might for you Iam not sure,just check

Why don't you try adding it manually? Just copy the Java sources to the src folder, the JavaScript (if any) to the assets folder, then manualy add a plugin element in the /res/xml/config file . Make sure to add permissions (like camera, file access, etc) to the manifest if needed.
