it did not work from me as is i.e. installing the plugin checkbox using npm install. On android it could not find the plugin. see the link below for workaround if you are using npm version 3 or greater. https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-angular/issues/423

  1. create .npmrc file at root of your project and add legacy-bundling=true
  2. remove node_modules and platforms directory
  3. run npm install again
  4. and tns platform add android
  5. run again e.g. ~/project/ng-native (rxJS)*$ tns livesync android --emulator --watch
