Build your application for Android

In this step you build your application for Android. Before you start this step make sure that you have a working Android build environment. See Installing Kanzi build environment for Android.

To build your application for Android:

1. Update Android build configuration to include the image files in the Android application installer:
   1. In a text editor open <KanziWorkspace>/Tutorials/Adding code/Start here/Programmer_tutorial/Application/configs/platforms/android/build.xml and add after <fileset dir="${asset.absolute.dir}/../../../../bin">


      <include name="**/*.png"/>

   2. Save the file.
2. Connect your Android device to your computer.
3. Build and install your Kanzi application to your Android device. You can do this in either Kanzi Studio or Scons:
   • Using Kanzi Studio
     1. In Kanzi Studio open the project stored in <KanziWorkspace>/Tutorials/Adding code/Start here/ Programmer_tutorial/Tool_project
     2. In Library select Applications > Programmer_tutorial configuration and in the Properties you can set build configuration, including the target architecture.
        
     3. Select File > Build Android Package to build and install the APK package to your device.
   • Using Scons in the command line interface

     cd <KanziWorkspace>/Tutorials/Adding code/Start here/
     	Programmer_tutorial/Application/configs/platforms/android
     scons es2 release Programmer_tutorial
     cd <KanziWorkspace>/Tutorials/Adding code/Start here/
     	Programmer_tutorial/Application/output
     adb install –r Programmer_tutorial.apk
