Downloading

To download the example, clone the repo using git:

$ git clone https://github.com/dpa99c/phonegap-launch-navigator-example.git

Projects

The repo contains the following example projects in sub-directories:

• SimpleExample - a basic (pure HTML5) example showing how the plugin can be invoked to navigate to a specified destination, with an optionally specified start location.
• AdvancedExample - a more complex (pure HTML5) example which shows how the plugin can be used to launch specific navigation apps and how their input parameters can be tailored.
• IonicExample - a basic example using Ionic 1 framework / Angular 1
• Ionic2Example - a basic example using Ionic 2 framework / Angular 2
• Ionic3Example - a basic example using Ionic 3 framework / Angular 4
• Ionic4Example - a basic example using Ionic 4 framework / Angular 7

Building and running

The plugin is intended to launch native navigation apps and therefore will only work on native mobile platforms (i.e. Android/iOS/Windows). Note that the plugin will NOT work in a browser-emulated Cordova environment, for example by running ionic serve or using the Ripple emulator.

To build and run any of the projects, first open a terminal window and change to the project directory, for example:

$ cd SimpleExample

SimpleExample and AdvancedExample

Add a platform, for example Android:

$ cordova platform add android

Then build and run the project. The plugins dependencies will be satisfied automatically. For example:

$ cordova run android

IonicExample, Ionic2Example, Ionic3Example

Since these are ionic-based projects, first install node module dependencies

$ npm install

Add a platform, for example Android:

$ ionic cordova platform add android

Then build and run the project, for example

$ ionic cordova run android      

Supported platforms

The example projects will run on Android, iOS, Windows Universal (8.1/10) and Windows Phone 8 (8.0/8.1)
