androidBits

Library of useful Android classes

Android App Development Setup (Android Studio)

1. Android Studio uses Gradle to build apps. A way to use the androidBits library with your app is to edit the global gradle.properties file on your local computer. Create this file in the Gradle user home directory, typically found on Windows 7+ at C:\Users\[user name]\.gradle and on Linux or Mac OS X at ~/.gradle.

2. Edit the new gradle.properties file to contain the following variables. Note the lack of quotes and the full paths below, so paths with spaces may have unknown behavior:

For Linux / OS X:

lib_androidBits=/path/to/androidBits/lib_androidBits

For Windows OS (yes, the extra backslashes are required):

lib_androidBits=C\:\\path\\to\\androidBits\\lib_androidBits

3. In your project's settings.gradle file, include the lines:

include 'androidBits'
project(':androidBits').projectDir = new File(lib_androidBits)

4. In your project's build.gradle file, include the dependency:

dependencies {  
    compile project(':androidBits')  
}
