You need to download an extra file called CORODOVA-ANDRIOD. You can download it from https://github.com/apache/cordova-android

Download zip file to your computer and then extract it. Look into that folder, you can see FRAMEWORK folder.

Now open CMD Prompt. navigate to that framework folder (For me it is like this - F:\Softwares\cordova-android-master\framework> ) and write this command

" android update project -p . -t android-17 "

if necessary add --subprojects

" android update project -p . -t android-17 --subprojects "

Remember that android-17 is the api verison. Make sure you have that versions installed. I have android 2.3.3 version api installed. so I changed that -17 to -10.

After compiling android update project,

enter command : " ant jar " If there are no errors you can see that corodova.jar file in that framework folder.

First, you need the following requisites, for sure are covered if you have been playing with phonegap/cordova for a while ;)

And then, to generate the cordova-2.9.1.jar file, follow the next steps:

  1. Download and extract the phonegap-2.9.1.zip file.

  2. In a terminal/cmd window go inside the recently extracted directory:

    $ cd phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\framework\

  3. Execute the following commands (you need android sdk and ant already configured in your system path):

    $ android update project -p . -t android-17

    If required add the --subprojects parameter:

    $ android update project -p . -t android-17 --subprojects

    You get a message like this:

    Updated project.properties Updated local.properties build.xml: Found version-tag: custom. File will not be updated. Updated file D:\work_NEW\phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\framework\proguard-project.txt Updated and renamed default.properties to project.properties Updated local.properties No project name specified, using Activity name 'DroidGap'. If you wish to change it, edit the first line of build.xml. Added file D:\work_NEW\phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\framework\bin\build.xml Added file D:\work_NEW\phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\framework\bin\proguard-project.txt

  4. Finally run:

    $ ant jar

    Blablabla.... jar: [jar] Building jar: xxx\phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\framework\cordova-2.9.1.jar

    BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 4 seconds

  5. Done!!!!! The file is ready! And you can find this and other information reading a file inside the phonegap-2.9.1.zip:

    phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\README.md

The cordova.js file is generated by this command line

cordova build iOS

Or cordova build android from your project folder.

Be careful to not copy and paste from a platform to another, the files are not the same !

It seems that in cordova 2.9.1 (and I assume also in phonegap) they made the same change as in version 3.3 :

There is no more cordova.jar, instead you have the sources of cordova in src\org\apache\cordova\api.

So if you use eclipse, you have to re-do "import existing android project" with your project's path and it should now find two projects, one for your app and one for the cordova api.
