Description
Right now, there is no documentation on how to build from source. After reading through Google's Android documentation and trial/error, I was able to build from source, but the Google Drive integration broke. It could be that there is something obvious only to people with Android development experience. Since I had none prior to writing a few patches that I sent, it was a pain.
The lack of documentation (in addition to the lack of a published license as I stated in #292) is not a great way to solicit third party contributors. I suggest writing something up so that a third party could do builds locally. That means documenting:
- That you need to install gradle.
- That you need Java 8.
- That you need to install git and do a checkout (this much I knew, but I don't think instructions should assume such knowledge)
- That you need to install the Android SDK updater. (I also knew this)
- That you need the Android SDK build tools version 24.0.2.
- All of the stuff in Extras that you need.
- How to get a app/google-services.json file.
- How to make the Google drive integration work with the app/google-services.json file.
- How to do a build with gradle.
- How to get it onto the Android TV. e.g. enabling debugging in developer mode, running
adb connect $IPand doingadb install -r /path/to/apk/. - Where the apk can be found after it is built.
