How to create an Android Application for ST dual

memories

2.1

Development environment

In order to implement an android application, developer has to setup his own development

environment to be able to edit the source code, build it with the right tool chain, and flash the

application to the embedded targeted system (i.e. the mobile phone running the android

operating system)

2.1.1

Prerequisites

Operating system computer from where the application is generated must belong to the

following families:

•

Windows XP (32 bits), Windows Vista (32 to 64 bits), Windows 7 (32 to 64 bits)

•

Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later (restricted to x86 solutions)

•

Ubuntu (8.04 or later) Linux (with GNU C lib 2.7 or later)

Development environment:

•

Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) or greater with included Eclipse JDT plugin

•

Java Development Kit 6

•

Android SDK: Provides to the android application developers the Android API libraries

and tools necessary to build, test, trace and debug applications. Here is the list of the

main repositories in android SDK:

–

SDK Tools: contains tools for debugging and testing.

–

SDK Platforms tools: contains platform-dependent tools

–

Documentation: offline copy of the android platforms APIs downloaded on

developer’s station.

–

SDK Platforms: store the SDK platform (for each version of android) – SDK

platforms can be downloaded on demand by the developer.

–

System Images: system images (such as for ARM, x86,..) derivate by each

android version to let developer to test his application on a specific android system

using an emulator.

–

Source code for android SDK: source code of each android version (to be

downloaded on demand by the developer according to the android version he’s

working with.

–

Samples for SDK: collection of samples provided by Google.

–

Google APIs: SDK add-on that provides both a platform and a system image.

•

Android development tools (ADT) plugin (recommendation to fasten developments

steps): This plugin has been designed to give a powerful, integrated environment in

which to build android applications by extending the capabilities of Eclipse (IDE).

It’s highly recommended to use eclipse with ADT installed as this solution is the fastest way

to get started. This solution eases the task to setup a new application project, to build the

final application in debug or release mode. During the pure development activity developers

are also supported by various integration tools and enhanced XML editor.
