Hi guys. Sorry for my english. I am quite new and I am a bit confused
right now.
I am trying to assess what would be the cost if our startup company
embraces some new mobile technologies such as famo.us for our mobile app
projects. Famous + cordova is quite limited, because of the webview
limitations and the performance is rather poor( already experienced). On
the other hand Famous + crosswalk cordova seems quite promising. We
found a risk of relying too much on crosswalk, since almost all external
cordova plugins seems incompatible. We decided to use corsswalk cordova
to take advantage of the existing plugins, and it appears that we can't
do that. So what are the options here? How different are both
architectures and how hard is it to port an existing external crodova
plugin to crosswalk cordova?
I've made few tests. I've tried to install few external plugins from
http://plugins.cordova.io/ in crosswalk cordova environment. It seems
they've installed without complains. I've focused on one, which looks
simple and straight froward and is known to work in a normal cordova:
http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/com.manueldeveloper.volume-buttons.
Of course after installing it in crosswalk cordova, it didn't work. I've
compared it with a plugin which is working in crosswalk and as expected
it seems that they are not fundamentally different. The paths are
different but they seem to use the same Java libraries. Anyway I suspect
that it wouldn't be very hard to port external cordova plugins to
crosswalk. Am I right here? Since I don't have is much time to debug, I
need somehow to accelerate my research. What I really need is more
knowledge of the differences between both crosswalk cordova and
cordova.... Is there a documentation? So far I haven't found anything
straight to the point. I've found documentation on creating plugins form
scratch, but nothing more. Are there better alternatives from porting
existing cordova plugins?
Thanks in advance.
