#ean-android

This project contains two components:

• api-lib: An Android optimized java library to handle making calls to [Expedia Affiliate Network API] EAN.
• sample-app: A sample Android app that uses the api-lib to make all of its calls.

##Building both the Library and the App It is possible to build the library and the app in a single step using the build.xml at the root of the project. This will build the library, publish it to a local artifactory repository, then resolve the dependencies of the Android project and fix up the local Android files and build the debug configuration of sample-app.

###Requirements

• [Java JDK (1.6+)] java
• [Apache Ant (1.7+)] apache-ant
• [Android SDK] android-sdk needs to be installed and both the tools and platform-tools directories are assumed to be on the path. Additionally you'll need to have at least Android version 14 setup (4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich).

###Steps

1. Download the source code from git: git clone git://ExpediaInc/ean-android/ean-android.git

2. Open a command line in the cloned directory: cd ean-android

3. Now run the ant target to build the api-lib and sample-app: ant

   • The library has now been built, published to a local artifactory repository, the app has had its dependencies resolved and has been built in the debug configuration.

4. The output apk can be found at ean-android/sample-app/bin/sample-app-debug.apk and can be installed using the command line function adb install ean-android/sample-app/bin/sample-app-debug.apk.

##Building Only The Library

###Requirements

• [Java JDK (1.6+)] java
• [Apache Ant (1.7+)] apache-ant

###Steps

1. Download the source code from git: git clone git://ExpediaInc/ean-android/ean-android.git

2. Open a command line in the cloned directory: cd ean-android/api-lib

3. Run the ant command publish: ant publish

4. You should now have built the api-lib and published it to the local artifactory repository.

The build (assuming it worked properly) will have resolved dependencies (creating and populating a lib/ folder in the process), checked the project for style issues, run junit tests, built the javadoc, and built jars to the build/ directory.

    ean-android/
        api-lib/
            build.xml
            build/
                ean-api-lib.jar
                ean-api-lib-all.jar
            lib/
                dependencies

ean-api-lib.jar contains the minimal set of classes to use the library, whereas ean-api-lib-full.jar contains not only the classes, but their sources and the generated javadoc as well.

To build without publishing, just run the default ant target ant.

##Building Only The Sample App

###Requirements

• [Java JDK (1.6+)] java
• [Apache Ant (1.7+)] apache-ant
• [Android SDK] android-sdk needs to be installed and both the tools and platform-tools directories are assumed to be on the path. Additionally you'll need to have at least Android version 14 setup (4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich).

###Steps

1. Download the source code from git: git clone git://ExpediaInc/ean-android/ean-android.git

   • Ensure the library has already been published as described above.

2. Open a command line in the cloned directory: cd ean-android/sample-app

3. Next you will need to use the android command line tool to setup your environment for the project: android update project -p ./. This will set up the environment-specific files for the project.

4. Now sample-app can be built using ant debug the built project will be output to ean-android/sample-app/bin/sample-app-debug.apk and can then be pushed to an Android device or vm with adb install ean-android/sample-app/bin/sample-app-debug.apk

##IDE Setup Tips

###api-lib

• Do not include the android.jar on your classpath. The unit tests will be unable to run due to stubbing issues.
• Include src/app and src/stubs as project files.
  • src/stubs provides stub functionality from android.jar for use during development and testing, but does not need to be included with the output jar.
• Add .json as a resource file type. This will allow certain IDEs (Intellij) to include the .json resources in the classpath for the tests that need them.

###sample-app

• run ant resolve.dependencies before setting up the project in your ide, as it will include all dependencies necessary.
• there is no need to include the libs/ivy folder, or the libs/check folder in the ide. These are only used by the build to manage dependencies and perform checkstyle checks, respectively.
