Assistant
Creating a **simple Cordova plugin** involves setting up a folder structure with a `plugin.xml` file, JavaScript interface, and native code (e.g., Android Java). Below is a **basic example Cordova plugin** named `cordova-plugin-echo` which simply echoes back a string.

### ✅ Folder Structure:
cordova-plugin-echo/

var exec = require('cordova/exec');
exports.echo = function (arg0, success, error) {
exec(success, error, 'Echo', 'echo', [arg0]);
};—

package com.example.echo;
import org.apache.cordova.*;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
public class Echo extends CordovaPlugin {
@Override
public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
if ("echo".equals(action)) {
String message = args.getString(0);
callbackContext.success(message); // Echo back the message
return true;
}
return false;
}
}—
