Ionic cordova run android not working

federicoponzi · January 29, 2018, 3:25pm

When I run:

ionic cordova run android --verbose

I get:

[OK] Your app has been deployed.
     Did you know you can live-reload changes from your app with --livereload?

But the app is not deployed on my device. I’ve also tried --device and --target without success.
My project is very basic. I’ve already tried to do ionic cordova remove platform android and readd it again. I think that the problem is with the ENOENT.
For some reason, it searches the files in that directory.

My directory tree is:

I’ve tried to move src* in android/ but still gives error (cannot find the mainactivity).

My environment is (ionic info):

cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.1
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.19.1

global packages:

Thanks for the help!

You might want to update your Node to the LTS. There are several bug fixes available. Might have nothing to do with your problem, but eliminates a possible issue.

Thanks, I’ve updated my node version.

In my project, I’m using AppPreference, installed as stated there: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/app-preferences/.

Doing a grep -rnw "android/res", I’ve found this:

|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/browser.js:163:|||.then(function () { return fs.mkdir('platforms/android/res/xml'); })|
|---|---|---|---|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/browser.js:164:|||.then(function () { return fs.writeFile('platforms/android/res/xml/apppreferences.xml', preferencesDocument.write()); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/browser.js:167:|||.then(function () { return fs.mkdir('platforms/android/res/values'); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/browser.js:168:|||.then(function (prefs) { return fs.writeFile('platforms/android/res/values/apppreferences.xml', preferencesStringDocument.write()); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/browser.js:219:|||.then(function () { return fs.unlink('platforms/android/res/xml/apppreferences.xml'); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/browser.js:222:|||.then(function (prefs) { return fs.unlink('platforms/android/res/values/apppreferences.xml'); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/android.js:159:|||.then(function () { return fs.mkdir('platforms/android/res/xml'); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/android.js:160:|||.then(function () { return fs.writeFile('platforms/android/res/xml/apppreferences.xml', preferencesDocument.write()); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/android.js:163:|||.then(function () { return fs.mkdir('platforms/android/res/values'); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/android.js:164:|||.then(function (prefs) { return fs.writeFile('platforms/android/res/values/apppreferences.xml', preferencesStringDocument.write()); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/android.js:219:|||.then(function () { return fs.unlink('platforms/android/res/xml/apppreferences.xml'); })|
|plugins/cordova-plugin-app-preferences/bin/lib/android.js:222:|||.then(function (prefs) { return fs.unlink('platforms/android/res/values/apppreferences.xml'); })|

So it looks like that the plugin is using wrong path for the android platform. How can I fix this?
