This is a library APK used by all the ODK 2.0 Android tools.
| master | demo | development |
|---|---|---|
There are three branches in our git workflow:
- master is where fully released and stable code lives. Changes flow into this branch from demo. Each merge correponds with an official release or a hot fix.
- demo is where beta versions are tested before release and also where we hold demo or preview versions of upcoming releases and new features. This branch is more stable than development but should still only be used for testing purposes. Changes flow into this branch from development.
- development is where new features and code changes are made. This branch is the bleeding edge and is not stable. It should only be used for development and testing purposes. If you want to submit a pull request, please do it against development.
General instructions for setting up an ODK 2.0 environment can be found at our DevEnv Setup wiki page
Install Android Studio and the SDK.
Open the androidlibrary project directory in Android Studio.
Now you should be ready to build, by selecting Build->Make Project.
Alternatively, you can build from the command line using Gradle. From the root directory of this project, run:
gradlew clean assemble
For more details see the Gradle documentation for Andoid.
NOTE this project will NOT run on an Android device by itself, it is simply a library for use in other ODK projects.
You can use ivy (for the development and demo branches) and maven (for the master branch) to access prebuilt binaries within your project. Your build.gradle file might look like this:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
ivy {
url 'http://cwe.cs.washington.edu:8082/artifactory/libs-demo/'
}
maven {
url 'http://cwe.cs.washington.edu:8082/artifactory/libs-master/'
}
ivy {
url 'http://cwe.cs.washington.edu:8082/artifactory/libs-snapshot/'
}
}
}
We are already doing this in our other projects such as our root build.gradle file in Services.
Each commit to the development branch is built and published to our Artifactory server's snapshot library. They can be identified by their git hash in their versioning. They are also linked between our Jenkins build server and Artifactory by build number.
Furthermore, each beta version published to the demo branch is published to our Artifactory server's demo library and similarly linked to the Jenkins build server.
Finally, each release version published to the master branch is published to our Artifactory server's master library. However, these are NOT built by Jenkins; they are built and tested by hand for the release.
