Usage

build_android_project.sh <ACTION> <WORKSPACE_DIR> [<RELATIVE_PROJECT_PATH>]

Actions

  --debug ..... build signed apk with debug key 
  --release ... build signed apk with release key for google, unsigned apk  
                for amazon (with replaces market links) 
Example Usage

  # build project in current directory
  build_android_project.sh --release .

  # build project in ./source/ which references library in ./lib1/
  build_android_project.sh --release . source

Overview

1. checks that the Android project has all files in place
2. builds the current version
3. after building, the apk's are renamed to include 'debug' or 'release' and 'Google' or 'Amazon', as well as the current date and time. The resulting apk's can be found in bin/

Amazon Market

Requires that all market:// links are replaced with links to Amazon's website. This script automatically replaces all links and exits with an error if there were links that couldn't be converted (which would cause Amazon to reject the app submission).

Required files

• default.properties (contains android-version to build for)

Optional files

• build.properties (may contain the keystore infos including passwords for alias and key to auto-sign the apk)

• build.xml files are ignored and replaced on hudson with the most current one from 'android update project'
