Ezra Bible App Cordova is the Cordova app of Ezra Bible App. The currently supported target is Android (at least Android version 5 in combination with at least System Webview version 55).
This repository contains the Cordova configuration and re-uses the source code of the main Ezra Bible App repository, which is embedded into this repository as a Git submodule. Furthermore, like the Electron app, the Cordova app also uses node-sword-interface as its interface to the SWORD library.
nodejs-mobile, a Node.js runtime for Android and iOS is used to enable a complete re-use of source code between the Electron and the Cordova app of Ezra Bible App.
The Build requires Cordova 7.x. This is based on a requirement of nodejs-mobile. The following guideline assumes that you are working on Linux.
