Building¶

android_core uses the Gradle build system in tandem with an external maven repository which supplies dependencies (.jar’s and .aar’s).

To build debug APKs for all android_core packages, execute the gradle wrapper.

cd android_core
./gradlew assemble

You may deploy the android libraries (.aar’s) to your local maven repository so that other android packages outside android_core can use them with:

To build the documentation, you may execute the docs task:

./gradlew docs

At this point, you may interact with your Android projects via Android Studio as described in the RosWiki pages.
