Problem adding a plugin

I'm trying to add the udp plugin that is in https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-sockets-udp, I made all the steps showed in the documentation but It's still not working. The main problem is a message that said: chrome is not defined, and it's showed because I use the code of the sendBroadcast function that I taked form the test.js that comes in the same project. Also I add the dependency of the common plugin but it doesn't help.

How did you add the plugin to your XDK project?

I tryied both of the options, in the "Get plugin from the web" I put "cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-sockets-udp" in the Plugin ID and https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-sockets-udp.git in the Repo URL, and in the "Import Local Plugin" option I put the same Plugin ID and I downloaded and descompressed the package in the www folder of the project

How do you know the plugin wasn't installed correctly? What does the build log say when you attempt to build it?

Because when I tried to use this code line: "chrome.sockets.udp.create(function(createInfo){......}" the log said: [INFO:CONSOLE(18)] "Uncaught ReferenceError: chrome is not defined" and it supposed that the chrome was defined in the plugin, however, I don't know any other way to check if the plugin was installed correctly or not.

How are you testing this feature? Are you using the emulator or an actual build?

Both of them. First, I run the app in the emulator and later I tried to install a build in my smartphone to see the log's with the Android SDK using these commands: "adb logcat' and "adb logcat | grep -i chrome"

I tried to do an Android build using this plugin, but the build fails (something about dependences).  Any chance you could provide a simple project that builds that contains this plugin?

 

Thanks!

Dale

This is what I see when I try to build UDP for Android:

 

  • Building a Cordova 4.1.2 application.
  • The application name is "UDP"
  • The package name is "xdk.intel.blank.ad.template"
  • Error: Plugin "" failed to install.
  • Error: Could not retrieve plugin dependencies for UDP'.
  • Error: Plugin UDP failed to install.
  • Plugin "org.apache.cordova.device" (0.2.13) installed.
  • Plugin "org.apache.cordova.splashscreen" (0.3.5) installed.

 

Are you able to build that project for Android?

Oh yes, I'm sorry about that. This is the correct one.
