grunt-android-download-via-qr

Provides a QR code that, when scanned, will allow for your android device to test the latest build of your android project.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-android-download-via-qr --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-android-download-via-qr');

Documentation

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named android_download_via_qr to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  android_download_via_qr: {
    default_options: {
      options: {
        androidDirectory: 'cordova'
      },
    }
  },
});

Note here that the only parameter that needs to be passed is the android directory relative to Gruntfile. If your android directory is located the same place in your filesystem as Gruntfile, then simply the directory name will suffice.

When complete, Chrome should open with a QR code. Scan that code with your android device and the app should automatically download on your phone. The QR code will look similar to https://github.com/kjprice/grunt-android-download-via-qr/blob/master/download.svg and will represent a link to an express server running on your local that will serve the android package.
