Building and running tests with Android

The easiest way to build libaddressinput for Android and run all the tests is using the Gradle project automation tool:

http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system http://www.gradle.org/

Prerequisite dependencies for using Gradle with Android

Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html or Android SDK Tools: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other

Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to the root of the SDK.

Install the following packages:

• Tools/Android SDK Build-tools (Rev. 21.1.2)
• Android 5.1 (API 22)
• Extras/Android Support Library

Gradle (latest version): https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.3-bin.zip

Note: Additionally you must take care to avoid having multiple versions of Gradle on your path, as this can cause problems.

Building and Running

After installing all the prerequisites, check that everything is working by running:

$ gradle build

With an Android emulator running or an Android device connected, the following command line then builds the library and runs the tests:

$ gradle connectedAndroidTest

The test runner logs to the system log, which can be viewed using logcat:

$ adb logcat

Integrating with Android Apps

1. Clone libaddressinput from Github or download and unzip to a folder called ‘libaddressinput’.

2. From a terminal window, change into the folder: cd libaddressinput/

3. Build the widget and library via gradle:

   gradle build

4. Copy the widget and the common libraries:

   cp android/build/outputs/aar/android-release.aar path/to/project/app/libs/

   cp common/build/libs/common.jar path/to/project/app/libs/

   Note: Be sure top replace ‘path/to/project’ with the name of your project.

5. Import both modules into your app.

   Note: If you use Android Studio, check out the user guide and follow the instructions under ‘Add your library as a dependency’. Be sure to add both modules as dependencies of the app.

6. Add the widget to your app. Note: This Assumes a default empty project configuration:

   i. In activity_main.xml add:

   <LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/addresswidget"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"
       android:orientation="vertical"/>
   

   ii. In MainActivity.java add the following import statements:

   import android.view.ViewGroup;
   
   import com.android.i18n.addressinput.AddressWidget;
   import com.google.i18n.addressinput.common.FormOptions;
   import com.google.i18n.addressinput.common.ClientCacheManager;
   import com.google.i18n.addressinput.common.SimpleClientCacheManager;
   

   iii. Define the widget on the object scope

    `private AddressWidget addressWidget;`
   

   iv. Add the widget to the ViewGroup

   ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.addresswidget);
   FormOptions defaultFormOptions = new FormOptions();
   ClientCacheManager cacheManager = new SimpleClientCacheManager();
   this.addressWidget = new AddressWidget(this, viewGroup, defaultFormOptions, cacheManager);
   

Example:

package com.example.google.widgetdemo;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

import com.android.i18n.addressinput.AddressWidget;
import com.google.i18n.addressinput.common.FormOptions;
import com.google.i18n.addressinput.common.ClientCacheManager;
import com.google.i18n.addressinput.common.SimpleClientCacheManager;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private AddressWidget addressWidget;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.addresswidget);
        FormOptions defaultFormOptions = new FormOptions();
        ClientCacheManager cacheManager = new SimpleClientCacheManager();
        this.addressWidget = new AddressWidget(this, viewGroup, defaultFormOptions, cacheManager);
    }
}
