local.properties file in git repo

[yu210148]

Hi there,

I don't know if this was intentional but it caused me some confusion when trying to build Podax from source that I'd git cloned from the repo. The file local.properties includes the path to your android sdk (which differs from mine) and causes errors to be shown in eclipse when looking at build.xml.

I worked around this issue by moving build.xml out of the podax directory and running android update project -p /path/to/podax from the tools directory. That generated a new build.xml and local.properties that fit my config.

I'm extremely new to android development so this may be something that others know to do. If so please close this issue and accept my apologies.

Otherwise it may be useful to newbies like me to put the android update project instructions into the ReadMe file.

Podax is my first Android app and I've never needed to look at local.properties. Maybe that file isn't supposed to be in the repo. I'll see what I can find out about it. Thanks for opening the issue.

No problem. It's my first Android app too. :) At least the first one that I'm mucking around in the source code with.

It even says inside that it shouldn't be checked into source control. Fixed in 207526f.

I don't think build.xml should be in there either as it doesn't want to play nice with me until I get rid of it. Once I do that, import the project into eclipse it seems to rebuild it for my environment the next time I build an apk.
