Well, after reading this: Ionic native 3 media plugin error("plugin not installed")
I have tried to make a new fresh project and try the plugin with it.
Here is what I did:
> ionic start zoomText blank
> cd zoomText
> ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-mobile-accessibility.git
> npm install --save @ionic-native/mobile-accessibility
Then I declared some stuff and called one the plugin methods:
app.module.ts:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ErrorHandler, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicApp, IonicErrorHandler, IonicModule } from 'ionic-angular';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';
import { MobileAccessibility } from '@ionic-native/mobile-accessibility';
import { MyApp } from './app.component';
import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
MyApp,
HomePage
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
],
bootstrap: [IonicApp],
entryComponents: [
MyApp,
HomePage
],
providers: [
StatusBar,
SplashScreen,
MobileAccessibility,
{provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}
]
})
export class AppModule {}
home.ts:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, Platform } from 'ionic-angular';
import { MobileAccessibility } from '@ionic-native/mobile-accessibility';
@Component({
selector: 'page-home',
templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, platform: Platform, mobileAccessibility: MobileAccessibility) {
platform.ready().then(() => {
mobileAccessibility.setTextZoom(10);
mobileAccessibility.updateTextZoom();
});
}
}
After that I built the app using:
> ionic cordova build android
Finally I found the error. (I still have no clue why it failed though)
This is the output of the build process:
> cordova platform add --save android

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

There is no mention of the mobile-accessibility plugin...
I took the apk to my device, installed it and using `adb shell` with `logcat` once again I got the plugin not installed error as expected:
