About

Juzidian is a Chinese-English dictionary for Android, targeted at English- speaking learners of Mandarin Chinese.

Juzidian is free software, licensed under the GPLv3.

See http://www.juzidian.org/ for more details.

Build Dependencies

  • Java 1.7 JDK
  • Gradle 1.6
  • Android SDK (Platform API 16, Platform-tools 16.0.2, Build Tools 17)
  • Git (rev-parse)
  • WenQuanYi Zen Hei font
  • Maven 3.1

Building

  • Initialise submodules for Ormlite fork:

    $ git submodule init;
    git submodule update

  • Install Ormlite fork to local mvn repository:

    $ mvn -f ormlite-core/pom.xml clean install;
    mvn -f ormlite-jdbc/pom.xml clean install;
    mvn -f ormlite-android/pom.xml clean install

  • Create a file called 'local.properties' and set the 'sdk.dir' property to the location of your Android SDK installation directory, eg:

    $ echo "sdk.dir=$HOME/android-sdk-linux" > local.properties

  • Build Juzidian APK:

    $ gradle assembleDebug

Releasing

To build a signed release APK, define the "ANDROID_KEYSTORE" environment variable to point to a Java keystore file and run:

$ gradle assembleRelease

You will be prompted for keystore and key pass phrases.

Installing

Install the built APK on to a connected Android device:

$ gradle installDebug

or

$ gradle installRelease

Installing Data

Dictionary data will be downloaded automatically when Juzidian starts up. To skip this download step the data can be manually built and pushed to the device. See org.juzidian.build.datagen/README for details about dictionary data generation and publishing. Once dictionary data has been generated, copy it to a connected Android device with:

$ adb push org.juzidian.build.datagen/build/juzidian_dictionary.db \
/data/data/org.juzidian.android/juzidian-dictionary.db

Note: Data installation requires adb root access on the device.

Build Profiles

Build profiles allow easy switching between different build configurations. Each build profile is defined in a Gradle script with a .profile extension. To build using a specific build profile, set the "profile" property via a Gradle "-P" argument. If no profile is specified then the "default" profile is used.

For example, to build the Juzidian APK using the "dev" profile, use:

$ gradle -Pprofile=dev build

IDE Setup

To setup Eclipse projects with correct natures and class paths, run

$ gradle eclipse;\
gradle -p buildSrc eclipse;\
gradle -c datagen-settings.gradle eclipse

and then import all projects into Eclipse from the project root directory.
