This repository contains the source code for the Android Bootstrap web application that is responsible for automatic app generation for Android Bootstrap.
Please see the issues section to report any bugs or feature requests and to see the list of known issues.
Why generate? Simple ... renaming files, folders, copy and pasting is SUPER error prone and well... it sucks overall. This can easily take a few days with debugging if you run into issues and perform a lot of typo's. Using the generator on AndroidBootstrap.com you can generate your application with your application name as well as the package (and folder structure) that you want to work with.
As an example, you know that you want your app name and package to the following:
- App Name: Notify
- Package Name: com.notify.app.mobile
After generating the app on AndroidBootstrap.com the folder structure of the source code for the app will change:
- From: com/donnfelker/android/bootstrap
- To: com/notify/app/mobile
At that point all the source files that were located in __com/donnfelker/android/bootstrap will be moved to the new folder com/notify/app/mobile.
All import statments that reference the old resources (R.com.donnfelker.android.bootstrap.R) will now be renamed to the correct package. The artifact id's in the pom.xml (and various other places) will be replaced. The App Name will be replaced in the strings/etc.
The end result is that you will be given a zip file with the correct structure. Open the zip and then execute mvn clean package and your app should be ready for development.
Enjoy!
The application
