mindroid

This repository holds resources of the Mindroid project

How to import the projects

1. Setup
   • Install IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)
   • Install gradle https://gradle.org/install
   • Install Android SDK (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html --> Get just the command line tools)
   • You will need all resources SDK version 25 (via Android SDK Manager)
2. Checkout the mindroid2 repository
   • (currently) Switch to branch Refactored-V1
   • Create the file impl/androidApp/local.properties (e.g., using the provided sample file local.properties.sample)
   • Adjust sdk.dir to match the root of your Android SDK. You need to escape ':' and '\' (e.g., X\:\AndroidSDK)
3. Open IntelliJ, import the projects impl/ev3App
   • Make sure to choose Gradle
   • Make sure that your JAVA_HOME points to the root of your JDK (NOT the JRE within)
   • After confirming with Finish, a dialog will pop up ("Gradle Data to Import") that asks you which submodules to import. Choose all of them.
4. Import the project impl/androidApp (via File -> New... -> Project from existing source)
   • All other steps are the same as for ev3App

Troubleshooting Gradle

If you experience problems in a gradle script, e.g., while loading a project from existing sources, follow the subsequent steps:

1. Open the Gradle tool window (View -> Tool Windows -> Gradle)
2. Open the Gradle file that you have changed (e.g., build.gradle)
3. Press Refresh (circular blue arrow) in the Gradle window.
4. Wait for the synchronization process to finish and watch the Messages window for errors and warnings.
