Cordova plugin for DFU upload (Android ONLY)

The plugin uses the Nordic Android DFU Library available here and provides an uploadFirmware function for Cordova.

The following functions are available:

1. uploadFirmware(updateCallback, errorCallback, parameter) both callback functions return json objects

return: {
	'status': String, status, such as connecting, disconnecting, progress, completed, etc.
	'progress': Integer, percentage of current upload prograss, min 1, max 100, (only if status == progress)
	'speed': Float, upload speed in Mb/s (only if status == progress)
	'avg_speed': Float, average upload speed in Mb/s (only if status == progress)
}

the parameter object has to be a json with the following fields:

parameter: {
	'address': String, bluetooth address of the device (required)
	'name': String, name of the device (required)
	'filePath': String, absolut path of the file which should be uploaded (required*)
	'fileUri': String, absolut path as an Uri, has to be encoded with encodeUri() (required*)
	'fileType': Integer, type of uploaded file, see Android DFU Library for details (optional, default TYPE_APPLICATION)
	'initFilePath': String, absolut path of the init file (optional*, default null which means no init file used)
	'initFileUri': String, absolut path of the init file as an Uri, has to be encoded with encodeUri() (optional*)
	'keepBond': Boolean, see Android DFU Library for details (optional, default false)
}

fields with a * means they are mutually exclusive, with the path having the priority. E.g. only 1 of the filePath or fileUri has to be provided. If both are provided, the Path is used. Same for the init file which is optional and doesn't have to be provided.

Update Nordic Library

1. Download nordic library from https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-DFU-Library
2. Create an Eclipse Android library project as described on https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-DFU-Library/tree/release/documentation#eclipse (ignore step 6)
3. Copy the content of the Eclipse Android Library to the folder src/android/LibraryProject
4. copy file src/android/FakeR.java to src/android/LibraryProject/src/no/nordicsemi/android
5. Update src/android/LibraryProject/src/no/nordicsemi/android/dfu/DfuBaseService.java:
   1. add import no.nordicsemi.android.FakeR;
   2. create field private FakeR fakeR;
   3. assign field in onCreate: fakeR = new FakeR(this);
   4. replace all occurrences of getString(R.id.string.xxx) by getString(fakeR.getId("string", "xxx"))
   5. replace all occurrences of getString(R.string.xxx, yyy) String.format(getString(fakeR.getId("string", "xxx")), yyy)
