error: resource string/plugin_bgloc_content_authority not found

[diegoarbelaez]

Compilation for Android is failing "error: resource string/plugin_bgloc_content_authority not found"

I use capacitor 4, and followed the instructions as:

1. npm install cordova-background-geolocation-plugin
2. Created a service as this: (and in the app called the service and started to track)

---

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {
BackgroundGeolocationPlugin,
Location,
} from 'cordova-background-geolocation-plugin';
declare let BackgroundGeolocation: BackgroundGeolocationPlugin;

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class BackgroundService {

constructor() {}

startBackgroundGeolocation() {
BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.ACTIVITY_PROVIDER,
desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.HIGH_ACCURACY,
stationaryRadius: 50,
distanceFilter: 50,
notificationTitle: 'Background tracking',
notificationText: 'enabled',
debug: true,
interval: 10000,
fastestInterval: 5000,
activitiesInterval: 10000,
url: 'http://https://csi.mipgenlinea.com/test/recibirBackground.php',
httpHeaders: {
'X-FOO': 'bar',
},
// customize post properties
postTemplate: {
lat: '@latitude',
lon: '@longitude',
foo: 'bar', // you can also add your own properties
},

});
BackgroundGeolocation.start();

}
}

Please any help or ideas?

Sounds like you are missing a string in the app strings table.
Here's how I use this plugin:

Thanks @HarelM for your reply,

However I'm still confused, where are the app strings table?

Thanks!

In the android configuration files, look in the android folder.

Add these variables inside android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml:

<string name="plugin_bgloc_account_name">$ACCOUNT_NAME</string>
<string name="plugin_bgloc_account_type">$ACCOUNT_TYPE</string>
<string name="plugin_bgloc_content_authority">$CONTENT_AUTHORITY</string>
