Roadmap ================================== My ToDo List is available on: http://www.strikeapp.com/#z6679l3t How to compile the App ================================== Requirements: ----------------------- >1) Eclipse + ADT Plugin + Android SDK installed >2) Git installed (you can do the following stuff without git but I'm not going to show how). Download and install: ----------------------- >1) Open cmd/terminal >2) Navigate to your workspace >3) Then type in: >
git clone https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock.git
git clone https://github.com/David-Development/Android-PullToRefresh.git
git clone https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git
>
>Go to Eclipse and do the following: >--> File --> Import --> Android Project from Exsisting Source --> [...]/ActionBarSherlock/actionbarsherlock >--> File --> Import --> Android Project from Exsisting Source --> [...]/Android-PullToRefresh/library >--> File --> Import --> Android Project from Exsisting Source --> [...]/News-Android-App >Then make a right click on the News-Android-App Project and select "Properties". Select the tab "Android". In this Window you should see the Project Build Target at the top and Libarys at the buttom of the window. Two of them are maybe marked with a read cross. So remove them and add the ActionBarSherlock and the Android PullToRefresh Libary >If you get this error message: >"Found 2 versions of android-support-v4.jar in the dependency list, but not all the versions are identical (check is based on SHA-1 only at this time)." try to copy the [...]/News-Android-App/libs/android-support-v4.jar file to [...]/ActionBarSherlock/actionbarsherlock/android-support-v4.jar >That's all.
