Restructure Android project from nested module layout to standard
Capacitor plugin structure following community conventions.
Structure Changes:
- Move plugin code from android/plugin/ to android/src/main/java/
- Move test app from android/app/ to test-apps/android-test-app/app/
- Remove nested android/plugin module structure
- Remove nested android/app test app structure
Build Infrastructure:
- Add Gradle wrapper files (gradlew, gradlew.bat, gradle/wrapper/)
- Transform android/build.gradle from root project to library module
- Update android/settings.gradle for standalone plugin builds
- Add android/gradle.properties with AndroidX configuration
- Add android/consumer-rules.pro for ProGuard rules
Configuration Updates:
- Add prepare script to package.json for automatic builds on npm install
- Update package.json version to 1.0.1
- Update android/build.gradle to properly resolve Capacitor dependencies
- Update test-apps/android-test-app/settings.gradle with correct paths
- Remove android/variables.gradle (hardcode values in build.gradle)
Documentation:
- Update BUILDING.md with new structure and build process
- Update INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md to reflect standard structure
- Update README.md to remove path fix warnings
- Add test-apps/BUILD_PROCESS.md documenting test app build flows
Test App Configuration:
- Fix android-test-app to correctly reference plugin and Capacitor
- Remove capacitor-cordova-android-plugins dependency (not needed)
- Update capacitor.settings.gradle path verification in fix script
BREAKING CHANGE: Plugin now uses standard Capacitor Android structure.
Consuming apps must update their capacitor.settings.gradle to reference
android/ instead of android/plugin/. This is automatically handled by
Capacitor CLI for apps using standard plugin installation.
- Create missing capacitor-cordova-android-plugins directory and build files
- Add cordova.variables.gradle with proper variable definitions
- Create www directory with functional test web app
- Add capacitor.config.ts with plugin configuration
- Fix test file package names from com.getcapacitor.myapp to com.timesafari.dailynotification
- Move test files to correct package directories
- Test app now builds successfully and creates APK
- Capacitor sync now works (Android portion)
- Build script handles both plugin and test app builds
The android/app test app is now fully functional and can be used
to test the DailyNotification plugin in a real Android environment.
- Fix capacitor.build.gradle to comment out missing Capacitor integration file
- Create separate plugin module with proper build.gradle configuration
- Copy plugin source code to android/plugin/src/main/java/
- Update settings.gradle to include plugin module
- Fix plugin build.gradle to remove Kotlin plugin dependency
- Successfully build plugin AAR: android/plugin/build/outputs/aar/plugin-release.aar
- Update BUILDING.md with correct build commands and troubleshooting
This resolves the Android Studio build issues by creating a proper
plugin library module separate from the test app.
- Update package.json with modern build tooling and dependencies
- Streamline and enhance TypeScript definitions for better type safety
- Reorganize plugin structure for better maintainability
- Add comprehensive interface definitions for notification features
- Implement proper build configuration with rollup
- Update tsconfig.json for stricter type checking and ES2020 modules
Breaking Changes:
- Changed module structure to use ES modules
- Updated interface definitions with stricter typing
- Removed redundant notification options
- Simplified API surface while maintaining core functionality
Dependencies:
- Upgrade @capacitor dependencies to v5.7.8
- Add rollup and typescript build tools
- Update test framework configuration
- Add build scripts for Android and iOS platforms
- Remove duplicate web implementation (src/web.ts)
- Add proper TypeScript configuration
- Add module documentation to index.ts
- Clean up package.json scripts
This commit improves the project structure and build process by:
1. Adding dedicated build scripts for native platforms
2. Removing redundant web implementation
3. Adding proper TypeScript configuration with strict mode
4. Improving code documentation
5. Organizing package.json scripts
The changes maintain backward compatibility while improving
the development experience and code quality.
