Root Access For Native Modules

[No9]

Hi
I see there is a requirement to put the addons into
/data/data/org.meshpoint.anode/app/module/
This requires root access to the phone.
Any idea when it will be resolved or a clue on what prevented the modules being placed on the SDCARD for example?

Thanks and loved the talk @ LXJS BTW.

You can install modules into that area with an intent. Put the module onto the sdcard and then do something like

adb shell am broadcast -a org.meshpoint.anode.INSTALL -e path /sdcard/<your module>

which will put the module into that directory on a non-rooted phone. Have a look in the wiki:
https://github.com/paddybyers/anode/wiki/Modules

If you want to be able to load modules from the sdcard, then it should just work by specifying the absolute path and doing a require().

Alternatively you could rebuild the app and change the hard-coded NODE_PATH to include the location(s) you want.

Thanks @paddybyers both options worked as I found the location of the NodePath in RuntimeNative.java
