OVERVIEW

General instructions for installing, building and running the PebblePointer apps.

These directions are written with an Linux-as-dev-system perspective. This code was developed and tested on a Nexus-7 2nd Gen.

It is assumed that you have installed -- the Pebble SDK, and the Android SDK with Eclipse installed

PREPARE A WORKSPACE FOR PEBBLEPOINTER

  1. Create new workspace (optional) assume: ~/workspace mkdir ~/workspace cd ~/workspace

  2. Checkout PebblePointer from github git clone https://github.com/foldedtoad/PebblePointer.git

SETTING UP THE ANDROID PROJECT

  1. Start Eclipse and "Switch Workspace" to new workspace

    [File]-->[Switch Workspace]-->[other] { navigate to your workspace } [OK]

  2. Import PEBBLE_KIT project into Eclipse.

    [File]-->[Import]-->[Android]-->[Existing Android Code Into Workspace]-->[Next] [Browse] { pebble-dev/PebbleSDK-2.2/PebbleKit-Android/PebbleKit } [OK]

    Be sure "Project to Import" is checked for PEBBLE_KIT.

    [Finish]

    You should now see "PEBBLE_KIT" listed in Package Explorer in Eclipse.

  3. Import the Android app project.

    [File]-->[Import]-->[Android]-->[Existing Android Code Into Workspace]-->[Next] [Browse] { ~/workspace/PebblePointer/android-app } [OK]

    Be sure "Project to Import" is checked for MainActivity.

    [Finish]

    You should now see "MainActivity" listed in Package Explorer in Eclipse.

  4. If you see an red X by the src directory, then do the following

    In the "Package Explorer", select MainActivity so it is hi-lited.
[Project]-->[Properties]-->[Android]
If you see a red X in the Reference box, then
    Select and [Remove] it.
    [Add], select "PEBBLE_KIT", then [OK]
    [Apply] then [OK]

    Else skip this step.

  5. You should now be able to build and load (debug) the Android app on your target system.

BUILDING THE PEBBLE WATCH APP

  1. From a command shell, navigate to { ~/workspace/Pebble/watch-app }

  2. Review the "make.sh" file

  3. Run PEBBLE_IP=196.168.1.2 ./make.sh, which will do a build, load and go sequence for the watch app. Set PEBBLE_IP to the IP address of your target Android device which is bound to your Pebble watch.
