I have used Cordova (3.4.x) to build the basic "Hello" and a custom HTML5 app for the Amazon Fire tablet. I saw a problem related to this question and resolved it per the answer from there (chmod +x on the build tools).

However, when I try to deploy the same apps ("Hello" and HTML5 app) to the Amazon FireTV device, I see this error:

Application Error AndroidWebKit classes are missing. Please copy android_interface.jar from AmazonWebView SDK to app's libs folder and the rebuild the app.

There is no file named "android_interface.jar" in the AmazonWebView SDK. I tried copying "awv_interface.jar" to the app's libs directory; no change. I also tried renaming awv_interface.jar to android_interface.jar; the app failed to compile.

Cordova's generic Android target will actually run on the FireTV; the "Hello" app works, but the five-way remote doesn't register on our HTML5 app, so I'd really rather use the amazon-fireos target.

Questions:

  • Is Cordova's amazon-fireos target supposed to support Amazon FireTV?
  • If not, will that support be added?
  • Where can I find this "android_interface.jar" file?

  • this also happens when you run an application built with the amazon-fireos platform on an android device instead of a kindle. Luckily, Gene's answer is correct also in this case. – Sergio Morstabilini Nov 04 '14 at 00:29

I had the same problem. Do not worry about renaming. You don't need to do that. Do these two things:

1) Put awv_interface.jar into .cordova\lib\amazon-fireos\cordova\3.4.0\framework\libs If libs doesn't exist, you need to create it.

2) Put awv_android_factory.jar into <app-directory>\platforms\amazon-fireos\libs

Take note that two are entirely different libs directories.

Rebuild the app. Then it will work.
