Build webinos-android from source

webinos-android is an Android application project with npm package management. Our recommended build environment is 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 or higher. If you are using 64-bit Ubuntu, please run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Other Linux distributions, emulated Linux environments, or Unix-like systems are not fully tested but should work, maybe with some twistings. It is also possible for you to derive a build process based on instructions here for other platforms like Windows, Mac OS. Some Windows build notes and other tweaking tips can be found in webinos-android/build_notes.md in the source package.

Prerequisites

* Node.js
* node-gyp
* Git
* Ant
* JDK
* G++
* libgnome-keyring-dev
* libssl-dev
* Android SDK

Install Node

We need Node v0.8.x (x>=14). 'apt-get install nodejs' might not give you a required Node version. If so please download a ~v0.8.14 version from here:

http://nodejs.org/dist/

Then do a global install manually.

Install node-gyp

sudo npm install -g node-gyp

Install Git

sudo apt-get install git

Install Ant

sudo apt-get install ant

Install JDK

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Install G++

sudo apt-get install g++

Install libgnome-keyring-dev

sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring-dev

Install libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Install Android SDK

Download Android SDK from

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Install API Level 11.

Then set the environment variable

export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/your/Android/SDK

Get webinos-android source code

You can get the source code from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/webinos/webinos-android

Build webinos-android with Ant

To build a debug installer, execute

cd webinos-android
ant anode webinos-deps -Ddevice=<profile> clean debug

In the command,

• Target anode puts anode source under webinos-android/libs with its own Git.
• Target webinos-deps installs webinos dependencies into webinos-android/node_modules with npm.
• Property device is the device profile that includes defined webinos APIs. Current device profiles are defined in webinos-android/assets/config/device_profiles.json. If the -D option is omitted, the default profile will be used.

If successful the target is generated as

bin/webinos-android-debug.apk

Build webinos-android with ADT Eclipse

ADT Version 22.0.x is supported. We still need Ant to get the dependencies.

1. Import the project into Eclipse

1. In the "File" menu, "New" -> "Project..." to open the "New Project" window.

2. Expand "Android", select "Android Project from Existing Code", and click "Next>".

3. Click "Browse..." button, in the pop-up window select your webinos-android folder, click "OK".

4. In the "Project to Import" box of "Import Projects" window, select following projects and then click "Finish". * webinos-android
   * base * content * eyes-free * media * net * shell * ui

2. Get project dependencies (can be skipped if you have already run command line Ant build)

1. In the "Run" menu select "External tools" -> "External Tools Configurations...".

2. In the "External Tools Configurations" window, expand "Ant Build", you will see the configuration named configuration_ant.

3. Select the configuration. In the "Arguments:" box in the "Main" tab, replace -Ddevice=default with -Ddevice=<profile>, where <profile> is your selected device profile, click "Apply", and click "Run". In the "Console" View window you should see the webinos dependencies being built in.

3. Build and run

1. To make sure the dependencies are included, right-click the wbinos-android project, in the pop-up menu click "Refresh".

2. Build and run as Android application. If successful the installer is created as

bin/webinos-android.apk
