Building

The project can be built directly by Gradle (useful for machine-builds) or imported to Android Studio (convenient for editing).

A. Using Gradle

1. Install Android SDK

   See https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools Don't forget to make sure that the system requirements are met.

2. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/palo-m/androboinc.git
   cd androboinc
   

3. Set up the path to the installed SDK

   Assuming SDK was installed to /opt/android-sdk-linux it can be accomplished by:

   echo 'sdk.dir=/opt/android-sdk-linux' > local.properties
   

4. Build the debug binary

   ./gradlew assembleDebug
   

   After successful build, the apk is located in AndroBOINC/build/outputs/apk/. It can be loaded to emulator or to real Android device and run.

B. Using Android Studio

1. Install Android Studio

   See https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2. Import project into Android Studio

• Start Android Studio
• Choose Check out project from Version Control, then select Git from drop-down menu
• Fill https://github.com/palo-m/androboinc.git in Git Repository URL
• Select Clone button
• Open the new project in Studio and wait for gradle initialization

3. Build the debug binary

• Select Build > Make Project
• If all went fine, select Build > Build APK
• The apk is located in AndroBOINC/build/outputs/apk/
