Architecture

Building

This app comes in two flavors, foss and full. foss only supports printers implemented fully using free software and can be simply built using

./gradlew assembleFossDebug

If you want to perform a full build, you need to do get a few libraries first:

• Download the Zebra LinkOS SDK, install it, and extract the three Java archives ZSDK_ANDROID_API.jar, ZSDK_CARD_ANDROID_API.jar, and snmp6_1z.jar into the ZSDK/ folder.

• Download the Evolis SDK, and extract the file platforms/android/library/direct_to_device/libevolis-release.aar into the EvolisSDK/ folder.

Then, execute:

./gradlew assembleFullDebug
