starting the android sdk manager

 ~/src/android_sdk/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools $ android


new android projects

Some files like local.properties contain paths, like the one to the android SDK. These will be different between yourself and other developers. So, this file is excluded from git. The android update command needs to be run

  1. prior to compiling a new project for the first time
  2. if I move the location of the android SDK
  3. might need to run it after future SDK updates

example:

 2:40PM:hostname:5956> android update project --path ~/src/empire
 Updated local.properties
 Updated file /home/jonedoe/src/empire/proguard.cfg

building / compiling projects

ant is the java compiler. example:

 2:47PM:box:5961> ant debug
 Buildfile: /home/johndoe/src/empire/build.xml
 ...
 ...
 ...
 BUILD SUCCESSFUL
 Total time: 5 seconds


install app to emulator

 /android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/adb install -r bin/example-app.apk
