This document is meant to outline how to develop an Android app without having to use Android Studio.

All packages that should be installed are under pkg/ and any code or other files used in the development process will be under dev/.

When building an app, run the android-app.sh script.

In the following examples <app-name> will indicate the name of your app, e.g. NameOfApp, and <avd> will indicate the name of the Android Virtual Device.

The AVD is determined automatically, as a result, using the AVD option is optional. It is determined automatically, by the command:

emulator -list-avds | sort | head -1

If you are interested in specifying your own AVD, simply run the first command.

emulator -list-avds

Build the app, run the emulator, install the app, and run the app.

android-app.sh -a -n <app-name>

android-app.sh -b -n <app-name>

android-app.sh -e -d <avd>

android-app.sh -i -n <app-name>

android-app.sh -u -n <app-name>

android-app.sh -r -n <app-name>

android-app.sh -k
