Apache Maven 3 Cookbook

Chapter 6
How to do it...
Follow the subsequent steps to install and set up the Android SDK:
1. Extract the downloaded Android SDK into any folder.
2. Define the ANDROID_HOME environment variable. The value of ANDROID_HOME
should be the root directory of the Android SDK. The following commands can be
used to define ANDROID_HOME:
### Linux ### export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk
### Windows ### set ANDROID_HOME=C:\android-sdk
3. An optional step here is to install the ANDROID_HOME/tools to the PATH
environment variable. (Check the Maven Installation section in Chapter 1,
Basics of Apache Maven for instructions on modifying the PATH variable)
The following steps are now optional as Android SDK artifacts
have been made available in the Maven Central Repository.
4. The installation and setting up of the Android SDK is followed by the installation of
the Android API JARS (or Android artifacts) in the Maven repository.
5. The Maven Android SDK deployer tool allows you to deploy in a local repository as well
as in a remote repository server. The Maven Android SDK deployer tool is available at:
http://github.com/mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer.
The source needs to be downloaded from the GitHub repository of the Maven Android
SDK deployer and needs to replace the Android SDK. The Android API JARS (artifacts)
can now be installed in local and remote repositories. We will be running Maven build
phase commands to do the same.
6. Installation into a Maven local repository is pretty simple. Open the command
line and navigate to the Maven Android SDK deployer root folder and execute the
following command:
$ mvn clean install
7. To install these on a remote repository, make sure the remote repository is defined in
the Maven settings.xml file. Additionally, the server credentials need to be added
as well:
android.repo
your username
your password
