- sbt 0.13.0 or above
- Android SDK
You can build this project using sbt:
$ sbt android:package
This will compile the project and generate an APK.
Before building you'd probably need to setup your $ANDROID_HOME
environment variables.
On UNIX-like OSes you can do that by adding export ANDROID_HOME="path/to/sdk/"
in ~/.bashrc
If this fails try to remove ~/.sbt and ~/.ivy2 directories
$ rm -rf ~/.sbt
$ rm -rf ~/.ivy2
For more command, refer to android-sdk-plugin for sbt.
In sbt, ~
is a prefix that repeatedly runs the command when the source code is modified.
~ android:run
This sbt command schedules to execute compile-package-deploy-run process after you save the edited source code. Compiling and packaging runs incrementally, so this iteration takes about only few seconds.
If you use default AVD, try genymotion or other faster virtual device. Deploying apk to the device becomes much faster!
$ sbt gen-idea
Three more steps are needed for IDEA:
- Install Scala and sbt (optionally) plugins (if not yet)
- Project Structure -> Project -> in Project SDK section, select proper Android SDK
- Project Structure -> Modules -> add Android facet to your project module
We do not recommend to use IDEA's own Android build system, because proguard settings are complicated and not fast. Use commands from android-sdk-plugin for sbt. It runs simple and fast.
The most likely cause of this error is the problem with proguard-cache. You can try:
- remove
target
directory (and optionallybin
,gen
,project/target
,project/project
) directories - OR / AND
- remove or comment out the
ProguardCache
settings frombuild.sbt
Then, rebuild the project, and the problem should be gone
The most likely cause of this error is that your SDK build-tools are old. Update the Android SDK and retry.
