This is an old revision of the document!

on linux with emacs

• install sdk + use it to install runtimes etc: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
• useful but a bit out of date: http://riddell.us/AndroidWithEmacsOnUbuntu.html
• (install everything to ~/opt and set up paths)

setting up the hardware:

• enable debugging on device
• set permissions on usb device by creating /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (0bb4 is htc vendor):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

test it works with:

adb devices

creating a project (from http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html ):

android create project \
  --package com.android.helloandroid \
  --activity HelloAndroid \ 
  --target 2 \
  --path <path-to-your-project>/HelloAndroid 

Use “android list targets” to get the target number

Load a file into emacs, M-X android-ant-install, and the package should appear in your apps list
