In  this chapter we will create a basic Android Project with RTC as Versioncontrol and Build Management. The Android Project will be extended over the time, but for now there is just a simple Login Mask.

The next Blog Entries are about:

* Automated testing with Robotium

* Connect the Android Project with the RESTful interface of RTC.

* OSLC with Android

* Feedreader with an object DB like db4o.

* Usage of the Android Webkit

* Oauth with Android

..but back to our first task.

For automated builds the Android SDK uses Apache Ant , which RTC has great support for. In the following example I used the newest Android SDK, ANT 1.8 and RTC 3.0.1RC2. Download the Eclipse Project.

Any discussion will be welcome.

1. Create a new Agile RTC Project with Android. Details at http://jazz.net/library/article/505. We will use a “Singel Stream” RTC Project. An add. good source of information is also at jazzpractise.
2. Create a new Android Project  Details at http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html. Put this Android Project into RTC Version  Controll.
3. Create a build.xml. Details at http://www.androidengineer.com/search/label/build
4. Download ANT  Version >1.8 and at the location of ANT inside Eclipse: Window->Preferences->Ant->Runtime . Push the Button “Ant Home…”
5. Download the “Build System Toolkit” from  and install/unzip it
6. Create a RTC Build.
7. Start your Jazz Build Engine with ” jbe -repository https://localhost:9443/ccm -engineId engine1 -userId myUser -pass userPasswd -sleeptime 1″ (substitute the userId/userPassword with your values)
8. Create a Build Definition with values like this:
9. Insert values like this in the “Source Control Tab” of the Build Definition:

ToDo/Missing:

* Automated start of an AVD Device, if not started
