You should create a Cordova project, copy and paste the extracted files into the www folder. then for making apk file implement the cordova run or cordova build command:
How you can create a Cordova project?
First of all run cmd anywhere you want to create a Cordova project. then use these commands to create the Cordova project.cordova create appfolder my.app.id "Hello world" cordova cd appfolder cordova platform add android cordova runIt will take 1 or 2 minutes, after that it will give you the path of generated apk file. see the attached image.

It seems to be a modern alternative for Cordova and it seems more easy to use. I'm really busy but would like to investigate about it as soon as I can. I would like to know if you have any experience using it.Thank you!

Quote from noyzen on May 2, 2021, 7:09 pm@asmat Thanks for info, do i need to install Android Studio? or any SDK before this steps?
(is Android SDK only packed with Android studio or i just need SDK alone? sorry for newbie questions btw)When i extract ZIP file made by VisualNEO i get a www folder and 1 config.xml file. should i copy and replace all of them into Cordova project folder? or only content of my www folder?
i get this error during Add Android and Cordova Run:
No Java files found that extend CordovaActivity.@luishp i'm afraid that i don't have enough technical knowledge to test this, but if anyone found anything new let me know. thanks Luis.

Quote from asmat on May 3, 2021, 3:01 amYes, @noyzen android studio is necessary,
You should copy and replace all files except config.xml.
You should complete the installation guide. Please check the below link:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/10.x/guide/platforms/android/index.html
for checking Cordova requirements, run this command in the Cordova project:
cordova requirements
