Building with Maven

Prerequisites

###Clone the maven-android-sdk-deployer

git clone [email protected]:mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer.git
cd maven-android-sdk-deployer

###Install the android artifact

mvn install -P 4.4 -Dplatform.android.groupid=com.google.android -Dplatform.android.artifactid=android

###Install the android support artifact

cd extras/compatibility-v4
mvn install -Dextras.compatibility.v4.groupid=com.google.android -Dextras.compatibility.v4.artifactid=support-v4

###Install the android appcompat artifact

cd ../compatibility-v7-appcompat
mvn install

###Install the support-annotations artifact

cd ../../repositories/android-m2repository
mvn install

###Update settings.xml

This is only needed for the release build. In your maven home directory, update the settings.xml file with signing information:

 <settings>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <activation>
                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <sign.keystore>PATH_TO_YOUR_RELEASE_KEYSTORE</sign.keystore>
                <sign.alias>YOUR_ALIAS</sign.alias>
                <sign.keypass>YOUR_KEY_PASSOWRD</sign.keypass>
                <sign.storepass>YOUR_STORE_PASSOWRD</sign.storepass>
            </properties>    
        </profile>
    </profiles>
</settings>

Building

In the main folder of the project, execute:

mvn install -DskipTests

This will create a jar, sources and javadoc for both projects (lib-core, lib-manipulation and example), apklib for lib-core and lib-manipulation, finally an apk for the example.

Building release version

In the main folder of the project, execute:

mvn install -DskipTests -P release

This will create a jar, sources and javadoc for both projects (lib-core, lib-manipulation and example), apklib for the lib-core and lib-manipulation, finally a non-debuggable, zipaligned * apk* for the example. All artifacts will be signed with your signature.

Testing

Currently testing is not possible with the maven configuration, this is why the -DskipTests attribute is passed in the scripts above. If you know how can these type of tests can be run with maven, please let us know or better, create a pull request!
