Example code for Wiley's "Enterprise Android"
This repository contains a series projects for "Enterprise Android" from Wrox Press. For questions, please visit the wrox forum at:
The book projects correspond to chapters according to the table below:
1: FragmentFramework
3: KeyValDB
4: KeyValCP, KeyValClient
5: restfulCachingProviderContacts, syncAdapterContacts
6: springServiceContacts, restfulCachingProviderContacts, syncAdapterContacts
7: awsServiceContacts, googleAppEngineContacts
8: Contactscontractexample
10: MigrateContacts, MigrateClinic
11: HumanInterfaceForData
12: AndroidSecurity, springServiceContacts
Getting the code
The best way to download these examples is by using the Repo tool. If you are reading the code associated with the Wiley distribution, we strongly recommend that you install git and begin your work from the code repositories and keep the code up to date periodically using a "git pull" operation.
Get it like this:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
Once repo is installed, download this source with the following commands:
repo init -u https://github.com/wileyenterpriseandroid/manifests.git
repo sync
You can download the source without using repo, with the following two commands:
git clone https://github.com/wileyenterpriseandroid/migrate-sdk.git
git clone https://github.com/wileyenterpriseandroid/Examples.git ea-examples
The README files in each project directory provide the best source of instructions for running their associated project.
Android Setup
About half of these projects are Android projects. In order to work with them, you will need the Android SDK. Projects were tested with Android SDK v 22.0.1. They have not been tested with Android Studio. Instructions for setting up an Android development environment are here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You will, of course, need a working Java. All projects were tested with Java 6. Most were tested with Java 7 as well.
Using Eclipse
Most projects will build in Eclipse. To create an Eclipse project for one of the code directories here, run the following commands, from the command line, while in each project root:
cp tools/ide/eclipse/classpath .classpath
cp tools/ide/eclipse/project .projectThis will copy the necessary eclipse configuration into the project directory. Once you have done that you will be able to Import > General > Import Existing Project into Workspace.
The following Android projects contain a Windows script in their tools directory for completing the above task for Eclipse:
KeyValClient
KeyValCP
KeyValDB
MigrateClinic
MigrateContacts
restfulCachingProviderContacts
syncAdapterContacts
The following service projects contain an ant build script:
springServiceContact
springSyncServiceContacts
awsServiceContacts
googleAppEngineContacts
In order to set them up as eclipse projects, use the "eclipse" target, like this:
ant eclipseThe project README files in the projects document this step.
Warning: Some chapter descriptions say to copy tools/build.xml to the main project directory, and then run ant eclipse. Late in the development of the book, we changed this setup somewhat so that you can now run the following command:
cd $CODE/<projectRoot>
ant -f tools/eclipse.xmlWhich will then copy the relevant files into place.

Some of the projects require special eclipse extentions (WTP - Web Tools Platform, Ivy, etc.). See the README file in the project for specifics.
