using 3rd party SDK with the XDK

[Gary_H_2]

There are some products around (ie, Google Analytics, TapStream) that can be accessed via a plugin but also require you to install their SDK. Is that possible with the XDK build servers?

The repective SDK for the Apache Cordova*plugin is included when you choose to add it to your project.

Is that true for Google Analytics? I'm trying to use the plugin as described here http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/googleAnalytics/ but when I do a crosswalk build I get this error:-

:compileArmv7ReleaseJava.../Wispeo/platforms/android/src/com/danielcwilson/plugins/analytics/UniversalAnalyticsPlugin.java:3: error: package com.google.android.gms.analytics does not exist
import com.google.android.gms.analytics.GoogleAnalytics;

 Has anyone else used the Google Analytics plugin?

We are aware of this issue with Google Analytics and are working on a resolution. For more information and possible workarounds see this post: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-xdk/topic/595059.

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately the workarounds are not that appealing so I guess I'll have to wait on the resolution. :-(
