Build Instructions

The gradle build system will fetch all dependencies and generate files you need to build the project. You first need to generate the local.properties (replace YOUR_SDK_DIR by your actual android sdk dir) file:

$ echo "sdk.dir=YOUR_SDK_DIR" > local.properties

You can now sync, build and install the project:

$ ./gradlew assembleDebug # assemble the debug .apk
$ ./gradlew installDebug  # install the debug .apk if you have an
                          # emulator or an Android device connected

You can use Android Studio by importing the project as a Gradle project.
