Build errors after updating to cordova 5.0.0 (CordovaChromeClient, DroidGap, CordovaWebView)

I'm trying to update Cordova to 5.0.0 in a project originaly build with 2.7.0 (I know it's a long shot).

I started a brand new cordova project and copied my frontend build to www/ folder. I also copied my custom libs to platform/android/libs/ and platform/android/src/.

When building with cordova CLI (cordova build android) I receive several errors:


error: cannot find symbol
import org.apache.cordova.CordovaChromeClient;
                         ^
error: cannot find symbol
import org.apache.cordova.DroidGap;
                         ^
error: no interface expected here
public class MyWebView extends CordovaWebView
                                        ^
error: cannot find symbol
import org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebViewClient;
                         ^

It seems there are no plugin corresponding to those classes and cordova sources still refer to it but it's not there.

Since cordova 3.3.0 Cordova is used as a Library Project instead of a .jar, so .jar file is not mandatory.

Droidgap has been deprecated for CordovaActivity.

What about CordovaChromeClient and CordovaWebView? Are those deprecated as well?

For the CordovaWebView the issue is that you are trying to extend, rather than implement it. CordovaWebView is an interface, not a class.

You may want to change your code to something like:

public class MyWebView implements CordovaWebView

Or you can inherit from CordovaWebViewImpl, which is a class that already implements CordovaWebView:

public class MyWebView extends CordovaWebViewImpl

It looks like CordovaChromeClient was removed in v4.0.0 when they made some changes to their default webview.
