Quick Installation With Docker
The easiest way to compile the android application is to use the provided Docker image gotsunami/businfo-android:
$ docker pull gotsunami/businfo-android
$ mkdir /tmp/apk
$ docker run --rm -ti -v /tmp/apk:/home/businfo/businfo-android/bin businfo debug
That's it! You'll get the /tmp/apk/Businfo-debug.apk ready to be uploaded to your emulator/device.
Manual Installation
If you can't use Docker or prefer a source installation, please checkout those repositories first:
$ git clone https://github.com/gotsunami/businfo-sample-lines.git
$ git clone https://github.com/gotsunami/businfo-tools.git
The businfo-sample-lines repository has some lines definitions (not real schedules) so that sample
data can be used while building the Android application. The businfo-tools repository holds tools dealing
with (cleaning, compiling) the bus schedules defined in businfo-sample-lines, making chunks of data
that will be merged with the Android app's ressources.
Requirements
The following software is required to build the line schedules and the Android application:
- The Android SDK
- Go
- Python 2.7
- git
- sqlite3
- openjdk-7-jdk (also works with Java 1.6)
- ant
- make
- ia32 libs if you're running a 64-bit system
