status-go-android-wrapper's Introduction

minimal-android-project

This repository explores how simple it can be to set up a valid, working Android project. You will need:

One .java activity source file, placed in its appropriate package directory
One AndroidManifest.xml
One build.gradle
- Certainly this is optional, as you can build the project using command line tools from the Android SDK. But let's not complicate things unnecessarily.

For more in-depth information about this repository, see my blog post.

How to build

$ git clone https://github.com/czak/minimal-android-project.git
$ gradle installDebug

The app will be installed on all devices accessible to adb.

Notes

This project makes a few assumptions about your environment in order to build correctly:

You have gradle 2.10 installed - there is no Gradle Wrapper included.
You have JAVA_HOME set up. If you have java in your path, you should be good to go.
You have ANDROID_HOME set to the root folder of your Android SDK installation.
SDK and build tools versions are hardcoded in build.gradle to 23 and 23.0.2, respectively.

Additionally, the folder structure relies on the source set convention expected by the Gradle Android plugin:

project
 ├── build.gradle
 └── src
     └── main
         ├── AndroidManifest.xml
         └── java
             └── pl
                 └── czak
                     └── minimal
                         └── MainActivity.java
