从 Android 应用程序调用 JavaScript API

Question

I am trying to build a native android application where I don't intend to use WEbview for my frontend. I want to make API call to eWeLink ( https://github.com/skydiver/ewelink-api ) which is exposed for Javascript. How can I achieve this in android?

Answer 1

Solutions (from easiest to hardest IMO):

• You could use a JS evaluator for Android. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/22418086/9398629 . LiquidCore https://github.com/LiquidPlayer/LiquidCore seems to be the standard choice. LiquidCore's readme in GitHub has directions for adding NPM package dependencies.

• Use a WebView to execute code from that npm package. Reference the results of your JS API calls in your Java code by doing something similar to this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20377592/9398629 . Using evaluateJavascript might be easiest.

• Re-write the ewelink-api npm package in Java.

So i had the same issue, so wrote a java api if you still need it that interfaces with the ewelink platform

you can get it here if you want http://ewelink-api-java.co.zw/
