Cordova/Phonegap plugin to migrate any code which references the legacy Android Support Library to the new AndroidX mappings in a Cordova Android platform project.
This enables a Cordova project for which AndroidX has been enabled (e.g. using cordova-plugin-androidx to successfully build even if it contains plugins which reference the legacy Support Library.
The plugin uses a hook script to replace any legacy Support Library Gradle artifact references in the build.gradle with the new artifact mappings and any legacy Support Library package name references in the Java source code with the new class mappings.
This plugin requires a minimum of cordova@9 and cordova-android@8.
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter
IMPORTANT: This plugin relies on a Cordova hook script so will not work in Cloud Build environments such as Phonegap Build which do not support Cordova hook scripts.
WARNING: Do not install this plugin in a Cordova project in which AndroidX has not already been installed or the build will fail.
Once the plugin is installed it will run on each after_prepare hook in the Cordova build lifecycle, scanning and migrating any references to legacy Support Library entries in the build.gradle or Java source code.
Note: this plugin operates only during the build process and contains no code which is bundled with or executed inside of the resulting Android app produced by the Cordova build process.
If AndroidX is not already enabled in your Cordova project you can persistently enable it in your Cordova Android platform project by installing my cordova-plugin-androidx plugin.
