Hello all -
We're potentially interested in using and contributing to WLO, but need some help getting off the ground, in terms of setting up the coding environment. Is there a document, wiki or some area on the web which might help us to:
a) determine best (or perhaps "recommended") coding environment (ADT Bundle, Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA or other) - at this time, we cannot afford high costs for an IDE, so a free or low-cost IDE is all we'll be able to use.
As on the Android website[1], they talk about Android Studio, I guess it is a good choice. But we are using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (free for the FOSS software development) which deals great with maven.
b) how to import the project into our IDE
In IDEA, you can import a project from the File menu. Then select the pom.xml file of WLO and the project is imported.
c) how to compile and generate an APK for deployment ?
We are using Maven to build the project. Launch the mvn clean install android:deploy command to build and deploy the application on the USB connected device.
Thank you all very much in advance,
Chris
