You will need to run an OpenTreeMap server to use the Android app. If you do not have an OpenTreeMap development environment, you can use the otm-vagrant project to get started.
This project uses RetroLambda to support Java-8 Lambdas on Android, which requires JDK8:
download Android Studio
unzip it wherever you want
Using the SDK Manager, install necessary software:
Google Play services
Google Repository
Android Support Repository
SDK Platform
Google APIs
(x86 if there's a choice)System Image
(if you are using an emulator)You may want to setup your device for debugging, if you prefer that over working in an emulator. Follow these instructions: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html
If you would prefer to use an emulator, make sure to use an x86 image with Google APIs available, and set your computer up to use hardware acceleration as documented here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/speeding-up-the-android-emulator-on-intel-architecture
clone the otm-android
repo to wherever you store code
Put the appropriate values into the templates in OpenTreeMapSkinned (for more information, see the OpenTreeMapSkinned README)
Setup google maps API key. See Google's documentation for help in doing so. Set this key as the google_maps_api_key
in the defaults.xml
template in the OpenTreeMapSkinned project.
If your debug.keystore is not generated, you probably won't be able to run the keytool command. When you first try to run the OpenTreeMapSkinned project, Android Studio should create a debug.keystore if you do not already have one.
