Found out how its done:

cd into src-capacitor folder: npm install capacitor-plugin-name

then open file at src-capacitor/android/app/src/main/java/MainActivity.java

there you will:
import com.plugin-name
and
add(plugin-name)

make sure neither your server nor your quasar client server is running otherwise you’ll get a bunch of ‘mkdir’ errors*

then while remaining in src-capacitor you will run “npx cap sync android”

go back to your quasar client and run “quasar dev -m capacitor -T android”

make sure your server is still off and update your gradle on Android studio

afterwards you will find the new plugin inside Plugins object in “@capacitor/core”

you should be set to go. You’re welcome fellow newbie!

<q-menu ref=“menu”>
…
</q-menu>

then in myMethod call:
myMethod () {
this.$refs.menu.hide()
console.log(‘I want to v-close-popup’)
}

Firebase cloud messaging acts as a middleman for this service. The service is completely free, but you do need to implement their library in your client as well as in your server. From there your server will communicate with firebase api, and firebase will send the push notifications to the specified devices.

I believe this is the plugin for cordova:
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/push

for your server side library:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging

I’m having an issue installing this “capacitor-navigationbar” plugin to my Capacitor app. I found my MainActivity.java file, however I do not know where I import the module as the plugin docs suggest I do. Any guidence will be extremely appreciated, thanks!
