Android App (build via docker/podman)

The goal of this repo, is to create a container that can serve to produce an "empty android Application" (i.e app.apk file). As such the philosophy is to keep the process "simple" as to now make the understanding too difficult.

basic ideas

• work within container (debian based image)
• use Makefile as a build tool

basic info

This repo should allow to generate an empty "android app". by simply cloning this repo and

./build-android-app.sh

It does so via:

1. building a container (in any of the runtime/daemons it finds: i.e. docker,podman,etc..)
2. running this container having the ./app folder being mounted within as /app
3. executing the app/Makefile which will then:
4. either work with the configuration stored in an app/app-config.sh in case such file exists or
5. if not go through a whiptail text menu wizzard to configure a new empty app. (Makefile recipe: ./app-config.sh)
6. it will then download the required android sdk files as necessary (Makefile recipe: ./android-sdk/installed)
7. go through the further steps to setup the blank app.

usage

1. run

./build-android-app.sh

2. follow the configuration
3. upon success the apk file created is in app/result/app.apk and can be installed via adb

adb install -r app/result/app.apk
