Writing Code - Eclipse
• Traditional method of Android development
• Windows, Mac, and Linux support
• Lots of existing support
• XML layout support is okay, better than v1.0
• Old and Busted now
• No further development
• Dev site says to stop using it now!](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/w4coverbio-150629182727-lva1-app6891/85/Mastering-Android-Development-Tools-7-320.jpg)

Custom Lint Rules
• Little Documentation
• Lots of setup (for the first one)
• Few examples (beyond the built in ones)
• android.googlesource.com/platform/sdk/
[build]/lint/libs/lint_checks/src/
• Codify your internal rules
• Tip: 3-line Custom Manifest
Libraries
• Android Support Library
• ViewPager
• DrawerLayout
• ActionBarSherlock ActionBarCompat
• Square Libraries (OkHttp, Picasso, etc.)
• Ion, Volley, etc.
• Home Grown (BRShared)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/w4coverbio-150629182727-lva1-app6891/85/Mastering-Android-Development-Tools-9-320.jpg)

- 3. 4/8/15 1 Mastering Android Development Tools Luke Wallace @lukeluca Introduction
- 4. 4/8/15 2 Some of our Android Apps Agenda • Storing Code • Writing Code • Using Libraries • Checking Code • Building Code • Testing Code • Deploying Code
- 5. 4/8/15 3 What’s the point? BUT! ShakespeareMichelangelo Use Good Tools • Stuff You Know • Eclipse • Android Studio • 9-Patch Generator • Lint Rules • Don’t use a typewriter to paint
- 6. 4/8/15 4 Store code • Bitbucket • Cloud-based Git repository • Team-based Access Control • Cheap Git branches
- 7. 4/8/15 5 Git branches - git flow origin/develop (progress builds) origin/release/1.0 origin/release/1.1 [origin/]feature/x Writing Code - Eclipse • Traditional method of Android development • Windows, Mac, and Linux support • Lots of existing support • XML layout support is okay, better than v1.0 • Old and Busted now • No further development • Dev site says to stop using it now!
- 8. 4/8/15 6 Writing Code - Android Studio • New Standard - reached 1.0 late 2014 • Still in heavy development • Migration is getting easier • We’re using it on new projects, and migrating old projects too it as time permits. Checking Code - Lint • Command Line tool • Part of Android Developer Tools • Lots of support from the Android team • Our rule: No Warnings!
- 9. 4/8/15 7 Custom Lint Rules • Little Documentation • Lots of setup (for the first one) • Few examples (beyond the built in ones) • android.googlesource.com/platform/sdk/ [build]/lint/libs/lint_checks/src/ • Codify your internal rules • Tip: 3-line Custom Manifest Libraries • Android Support Library • ViewPager • DrawerLayout • ActionBarSherlock ActionBarCompat • Square Libraries (OkHttp, Picasso, etc.) • Ion, Volley, etc. • Home Grown (BRShared)
- 10. 4/8/15 8 Analyze • Charles • HTTP proxy - analyze requests & responses • supports HTTPS with some additional effort Analyze • Hierarchy Viewer
- 11. 4/8/15 9 One Weird Trick! Add ViewServer to use Hierarchy Viewer on real devices! Continuous Integration • Jenkins • Every 15 minutes (random per project) • Check for new code • Build (using Ant or gradle) • DO IT!
- 12. 4/8/15 10 Jenkins - Multiple Builds • Debug • Release • Staging Servers • Free • Paid • Amazon Appstore • Google Play Jenkins - Multiple Builds • use your build.xml to change config URL or other parameters at build time. <property environment="env"/> <target name="preprocess-build-number" if="env.BUILD_NUMBER"> <echo>Setting build number: ${env.BUILD_NUMBER}</echo> <replaceregexp file="res/values/build_config.xml" match="build_number">.*?<" replace="build_number">${env.BUILD_NUMBER}<" /> </target>
- 13. 4/8/15 11 Jenkins - Multiple Builds • use your build.xml to change config URL or other parameters at build time. <target name="preprocess-release" if="build.target.release"> <echo>Configuring build_config.xml for a release build</echo> <replaceregexp file="res/values/build_config.xml" match="version_name">.*?<" replace="version_name">@string/version_name_production<" /> </target> Jenkins - Multiple Builds • Gradle build system makes this easier
- 14. 4/8/15 12 Jenkins + Lint Automated Testing • We have it, barely • JUnit + Android extensions • AndroidTestCase • monkeyrunner • Robolectric
- 15. 4/8/15 13 Real Devices Automatic Crash Collection ACRA - Application Crash Reporting for Android • http://acra.ch • Sends crashes to Google Docs • Can send reports directly to your backend, or several hosted options.
