The xml directory wasn't there, so I manually added the it. Then tried again:

The \values\strings.xml directory and file were not there....I created the directory, still got the strings.xml error and then manually created and added that file.

Hopefully this is helpful to fixing it....

Then when I tried to remove the plugin:

ionic cordova plugin rm cl.rmd.cordova.dialoggps
> cordova plugin remove cl.rmd.cordova.dialoggps --save
Uninstalling cl.rmd.cordova.dialoggps from android

Removing "cl.rmd.cordova.dialoggps"

something went really wrong...plugin wouldn't uninstall correctly,...tried dropping the platform and re-adding. Nope. Had to blow my whole root project directory away and reinstall everything from scratch.

It looks like all the paths have changed.

\platforms\android\assets no longer exists.

Everything is now:
\platforms\android\app\src\main\assets\

This is probably the source of the issue.
