I have an Android SDk done with java whic I already converted to .aar file. I created a plugin and placed the aar file in App_Resources/Android/libs directory. In my index.js file, I have this

var intent = new android.content.Intent(application.android.foregroundActivity, com.iposprinter.printertestdemo.IPosPrinterTestDemo.class)
intent.setFlags(android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
application.android.foregroundActivity.startActivity(intent);

This cause the sdk to display.

Doing this

var iposprinter=new com.iposprinter.printertestdemo.IPosPrinterTestDemo()
console.log(iposprinter) //outputs com.iposprinter.printertestdemo.IPosPrinterTestDemo@682890e
while this `console.log(iposprinter.printerInit) outputs undefined`

while this

`console.log(iposprinter.printerInit) outputs undefined`
console.log(iposprinter.printerInit()) outputs undefined
TypeError: iposprinter.printerInit is not a function

How do I call methods from this package? To Reproduce

Expected behavior

Your code on the surface looks like it should work.
However, without actually seeing the .aar, it is hard to say for sure why it isn't work. It is possible that your class or methods are marked as private, or something simular.

1. If you need a NDA to send the aar, we can sign one. Or if you want to add me to a public/private project, we can help you get it working.
2. You can try running the dts generator and then putting the .d.ts files for your plugin in this message so we can see what it is seeing: https://github.com/NativeScript/android-dts-generator

Hello Nathaniel Anderson, A very goody to you and a happy new month in Nigeria time. I had to drop the project when I couldn’t get any solution to what I was facing but not withstanding, since you are willing to assist, I will be adding to you the project so as to complete it.

Thank you
