How to use existing android app as cordova plugin

I have build an android app with help of quasar and cordova.

Now I want to add print function that is actually device specific (e.g. mpos device).

I have uploaded the source code of native android project that i want to use in my cordova project repo of android source code.

I want to call printText function into cordova-plugin from native android link to printText function

something similar like below:

exports.print= function (arg0, success, error) {
  exec(success, error, 'PrintDevActivity', 'printText', [arg0]);
}

I need help in these two things:

  1. how many files i need to copy from above repo of android project to my cordova plugin

  2. what changes i need to do in cordova plugin plugin.xml so it will work.

I am confused , should i need to copy only .java files or also gradle etc.

This is my plugin.xml file of cordova plugin

plugin.xml

Any help or suggestion will highly appreciated.

Thank you
