Google Form Post Cordova Plugin

Apache Cordova plugin to allow a JavaScript app to use a native Java plugin on Android to submit data to a Google Form.

This allows you to get around the cross-origin problem you would have if you directly posted from the JavaScript.

Local development

For local development this is a gradle project. When used in the context of a Cordova app, Cordova handles the build, so the gradle file here is only for local development and debugging. Similarly, the Android manifest file in ./src/main is just to get things to play nicely while building locally, and is not used by Cordova.

Steps to set up your environment for local development:

1. Install and run Android Studio (making sure an SDK is installed)
2. Add export ANDROID_HOME=/some/path to your .profile file
3. Run ./gradlew build

Tests

JUnit tests can be run through the IDE or by running ./gradlew test. There are no javscript tests right now, as the interface is so simple.
