To get this working on Android, you'll need to do two things:

0. Look at the various *.EXAMPLE files, copy over without without the EXAMPLE part, and edit
accordingly if needed.  Some toolkits will generate needed files, but if not then hack by hand.

This is particuallry true if you are doing development vis the command line and vi, and not 
wussing out by using some girlyman IDE.  Just sayin'.

For example,

   cp local.properties.EXAMPLE  local.properties
   vi local.properties


1. Modify the "dx" tool for the target platform to support 1024M of memory. You'll see where.

2. After running "ant release" to build the .apk, sign it using this command:

  jarsigner -keystore ruboto-key.keystore bin/IRB-unsigned.apk ruboto

The keyphrase is simply "ruboto"

3. Install it on the phone or emulator like this:

  ANDROID_HOME/tools/adb -s emulator-5554 install -r bin/IRB-unsigned.apk

(though you might do better to just have those tools in your PATH ...)

Replace "emulator-5554" with the name of your target device.

That's it! Have fun!


Appendix 0

Some useful Android stuff:

See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/other-ide.html for help on running assorted commands from a shell.

Much of what follows was stolen from that site.

You need an emmulator (AKA an AVD, or Android Virtual Device) to test the app (unless you want to actaully deploy to 
your phone over and over)

If you have already created one, skip this.  Otherwise, here's what to do to get an AVD:


 First, you need to select a "deployment target." To view available targets, execute:

    android list targets
 
For example:

  james@james06:~/ngprojects/ruboto-irb$ android list targets
  Available Android targets:
  id: 1
       Name: Android 1.1
       Type: Platform
       API level: 2
       Skins: HVGA-P, QVGA-L, QVGA-P, HVGA (default), HVGA-L
  id: 2
       Name: Android 1.5
       Type: Platform
       API level: 3
       Skins: HVGA-P, QVGA-L, QVGA-P, HVGA (default), HVGA-L
  id: 3
       Name: Google APIs
       Type: Add-On
       Vendor: Google Inc.
       Description: Android + Google APIs
       Based on Android 1.5 (API level 3)
       Libraries:
        * com.google.android.maps (maps.jar)
            API for Google Maps
       Skins: QVGA-P, HVGA-L, HVGA (default), QVGA-L, HVGA-P
   

Find the target that matches the Android platform upon which you'd like to run your application. Note the integer value 
of the id — you'll use this in the next step.

  android create avd --name <your_avd_name> --target <targetID>


For example:

  android create avd --name super-bad-avd --target 3

You should get prompted to answer a few questions. 


Now kick off an AVD ...

   emulator -avd <your_avd_name>


... and install the .apk on the emulator:

    adb install /path/to/your/application.apk

The path is typically in the ./bin directory of your project folder


    adb install ./bin/MySuperBadApp.apk


If there is more than one emulator running, you must specify the emulator upon which to install the application, 
by its serial number, with the -s option. For example:

  adb -s emulator-5554 install ./bin/MySuperBadApp.apk


If you don't know serial numbers of the running emulators, you can get a list using

  adb devices


As you develop your app, you'll need to reploy to the emulator.  If you get an error saying the app is
already installed ...

    Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]

... you can try using the -r option (reinstall, keeping data)

    adb install -r ./bin/MySuperBadApp.apk

to replace it.

Or uninstall it (use the -k option to keep data and cache directories, if you want that)

    adb uninstall -k com.your.app.package.Name 


Some debugging help:

  adb -s <avd-serial> catlog

will cat the log of the specified emulator.  Works for the actual device as well.  Use 

   adb devices

to get the serials.
