Unable to find android.view in NativeScript

Issue

I am developing a native script app using angular, and I need to access the native Android API. I tried to use android.view as mentioned in the native script documentation, but I get an error saying that view is not defined : Native Script documentation

Here below is the declaration used to access the android object.

import { android } from "application";

Can you help me please to find out why am I getting this error ?

Solution

You don't have to import anything to access the native APIs. So to use android.view you'd just call it in your app like this:

const x = new android.view.ViewGroup.... // or whatever you're accessing
