sync-android-p2p

This project implements a http listener on top of sync-android to allow sync-android to become a replication target.

This project is a prototype. It can perform a basic replication based on the steps below, however, a lot more functionality needs to be implemented to support replication proper. Expect lots of bugs, this code needs much more testing.

Note that this project is community supported.

Testing this project

• check out this project

git clone https://github.com/ibm-cds-labs/sync-android-p2p
cd sync-android
./gradlew test

Using Eclipse

If you are using eclipse, execute below command. For Android studio, skip to Using Android Studio section

• In Eclipse, create a Run Configuration to run P2PTest.java. Ensure the VM Arguments are set to this for the test:

-ea -Dsqlite4java.library.path=native

Using Android Studio

To run JUnit tests in Android Studio you will need to set VM arguments in the following way:

• In menu, select Run -> Edit configurations
