android-mode

Android project helpers for Emacs.

android-mode provides commands for common Android development tasks:

• selecting Gradle modules and variants from project flavor data
• building, installing, uninstalling, testing, and running Android apps
• launching an emulator
• starting the currently built application on a connected device

Installation

With use-package and package-vc:

(use-package android-mode
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/cat-emacs/android-mode")
  :commands #'android-root)

From a local checkout:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/android-mode")
(require 'android-mode)

Commands

• M-x android-gradle-build
• M-x android-gradle-clean
• M-x android-gradle-install
• M-x android-gradle-uninstall
• M-x android-gradle-test
• M-x android-run
• M-x android-start-app
• M-x android-start-emulator
• M-x android-print-flavor
• M-x android-refresh-flavors

Configuration

(setq android-mode-cache-dir (expand-file-name "android/" user-emacs-directory)
      android-mode-sdk-dir "/path/to/android-sdk")

ANDROID_HOME and a project local.properties sdk.dir value take precedence over android-mode-sdk-dir.

Gradle command output is retained in buffers. Flavor discovery writes its synchronous Gradle output to *android-gradle-log*; build, install, uninstall, test, clean, and run tasks use Emacs compilation buffers.

Development

Run package checks from this directory:

make install-deps
make lint
make build
make test
