Installations
To develop and run the Android application, you would need to install the following :
- Android Studio - Editor + SDK
- After studio has been installed, open SDK Manager and check mark to install the following stuff :
- Android SDK Buid Tools 23.01
- SDK Platform 23, 22 and 15 (as our minimum compatibility would be 15)
- Google API's 23 : Required for accounts and map
- Appropriate Google API 23 System image
- Google Play Services
- Google Repository
This is a huge list to download. If you have slow connection then put to download at night and sleep. Be warned, it uses more than couple of GB's of data, so use appropriate net connection / plans.
For testing and emulation, I would suggest use your Android device, its best and wont take resources of your pc / laptop. However you can either test it via inbuilt Android Emulator in SDK, or install Genymotion emulator, which is a bit faster. Keep in mind though, Genymotion instances does not come pre-installed with Google API's any more, so you have to install gapps. Follow this excellent tutorial to do so.
After installations are over, fork and clone this repo. Open Android Studio and Import Android Studio project from the location of the clone. Give it a few minutes to install the dependencies.
