2.0.0 incompatibility with cordova-plugin-camera 4.1.0 and cordova-open

[marcomilone]

Hello maintainer and everybody,

I obviously tested with those plugins only (everything else disabled)

I'm here because this plugin doesn't implement startActivityForResult and I was needing it.

Goal needed: save an mp3 using an external application.

Here the tests:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="4.1.0" />
<plugin name="com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent" spec="2.0.0" />

They are incompatible (last version for both atm). Order is respected as asked in the plugin how-to-use description.

I also tried:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="4.0.3" />
<plugin name="com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent" spec="2.0.0" />

and

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="4.0.2" />
<plugin name="com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent" spec="2.0.0" />

I didn't tried further downgrading cordova-plugin-camera

I can say the same thing for cordova-open (1.1.0) incompatible with com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent (2.0.0) cordova-open is "similar", so I will set it apart

I made it work with previous version: 1.3.0

This works for me:

<plugin name="cordova-open" spec="1.1.0" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="4.1.0" />
<plugin name="com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent" spec="1.3.0" />

Note that:

• the plugins are installed, but build fails.
• only 2 plugins "cordova-plugin-camera" and "com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent"
• changing the version to 1.3.0 make it compatible
• compiling with 2.0.0 ONLY (1 plugin only) is a success

---

I'm using PhonegapBuild: here the compile log (cutting away not interesting parts)

(2 plugins here)

[darryncampbell]

I really don't know, it could be related to the version of the Android support libraries - I have changed this over the years at the requests of a number of people, e.g. (https://github.com/darryncampbell/darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent/commit/99d1e8b9fc39e4e77fa69c63c23debf0dc9fdbdc#diff-53f390d375398624afe1cfe1125f42bf). Perhaps try an earlier version if this plugin like 1.0.0

[marcomilone]

Hello, thanks for your fast reply.

As said, with 1.3.0 is working flawlessly (are compatible).

Many thanks,

[darryncampbell]

Aha, I mis-understood,

In that case I suspect that the root cause is a mis-match between the support libraries and Android X. Is there a reason you need to move to 2.0.0? The only difference between 1.3.0 and 2.0.0 should be the introduction of Android X.

[marcomilone]

Hi again, I understand and don't understand.

Same exact project compile with 2.0.0. Don't compile with 2.0.0 AND camera plugin. I opened the issue only to let you know.

The only reason I used 2.0.0 is because I tried to compile without specifying the plugin's versions (spec), that means that every plugin is downloaded at last version. I always give a try. If everything is good, I lock with last versions.

Many thanks for your useful plugin. I'm using your super fantastic plugin with 1.3.0 because is working. (don't like "intentShim" name...)
