At this point, we can create a PhoneGap/Cordova project and integrate it with Boxcar. We've got a sample project at /ch7
in the code package; all it does is respond to Push Notifications by displaying an alert. You're welcome to use our code as a base, or perform the following steps to integrate Boxcar with your app:
Create your project using the Cordova CLI as normal (however, use the app ID you used when setting up Push Notifications):
cordova create ./ch7 com.packtpub.pgech7 TaskerCH7
Add the iOS and Android platforms:
cordova platform add ios android
Add the necessary plugins; Boxcar requires the following two plugins:
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device cordova plugin add https://github.com/boxcar/PushPlugin
Copy the
Boxcar.js
file from the Boxcar SDK and place it in your project'swww
directory.
