Upgrading PhoneGap Plugin for Saving Images

1. First of all make sure you check out the original code for reference.
2. Next the only class/file that you will need to edit is the Base64ToPNG.java.
3. Add the following imports:

import org.apache.cordova.api.CallbackContext;
import org.apache.cordova.api.CordovaPlugin;

4. Remove these imports:

import org.apache.cordova.api.Plugin;
import org.apache.cordova.api.PluginResult;

5. Change what the class extends from Plugin to Cordova Plugin:

public class Base64ToPNG extends CordovaPlugin {

6. Now, change the overwritten execute method to return a boolean instead of PluginResult and the string to a CallbackContext from a string:

public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) {

7. Anywhere that returns a PluginResult will need to be changed to return true or false depending on the specific action previously taken. You will also want to assign error message and success messages. Here is the specific success message:

callbackContext.success("Saved successfully!");
return true;

package org.apache.cordova;
