Android autobuild + tests

what is the easiest way to run an autobuild of android app, that include开发者_运维技巧s compiling, running tests and creating an apk file (using ANT)?

thanks!

Use the android tool from the SDK. If you already have something that's a running project in Eclipse you just need to run the android project in the base directory of your project:

android update project --path .

And it should generate the ant build scripts needed to be able to build debug and release apks from the command line.

As for testing, there's also options to create a new test project using the android tool: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/testing/testing_otheride.html The docs in there go through details for automating and setting up test projects.

If you're looking for a way to automate all the stuff check out one of the continuous integration servers, like Jenkins (http://jenkins-ci.org/) They're tailored to watch a software repository, automate some actions, and monitor the output.
