properly document building process

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Check out the source code (master branch)
2. Import wallet android project into Android Eclipse dev environmental
3. Add ActiveSherlockBar lib
4. Add qrcode lib
3. Try to build the app

The problem:

import de.schildbach.wallet_test.R

fails.

Regards,
Piotr

Please be aware that I don't use Eclipse any more for building the APK. It just 
makes too much trouble.

Instead, use Maven.

mvn clean package

If you want to get it compile in Eclipse, did you try

mvn eclipse:eclipse

already?

Anyway, you need to clone and compile bitcoinj first.

What version of Maven are you using? For the android-maven-plugin, you need at 
least version 3.0.3 I think.

Can you try a "mvn dependency:tree" inside the wallet subproject and see if it 
contains a line

com.madgag:sc-light-jdk15on:jar:1.47.0.2:compile

Did you already compile and install bitcoinj? You need to use the patched-0.6 
branch of my bitcoinj repo.

Original comment by andreas....@gmail.com on 5 Feb 2013 at 5:53

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Does not contain the line, please see below.

I have installed regular bitcoinj lib. Where can I find your bitcoinj repo?

I'm sorry this is not better documented. You need to checkout my repo from

http://code.google.com/r/andreasschildbach-bitcoinj/source/checkout

switch to the patched-0.6 branch and "mvn clean install".

After that, bitcoin-wallet should contain the line in "mvn dependency:tree" and 
hopefully will compile. Let me know if it works.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No worry, I'm making progress, thanks for your help and time.

bitcoinj patched-0.6 and bitcoin-wallet compiled

See this error now for sample integration for android:

Is this because I have only installed android sdk and not complete android 
eclipse environment?

I took the opportunity and started writing a BUILDING section in the README. It 
will be for the upcoming version of Bitcoin Wallet though, so some steps will 
be different to what you had to do. However, in order to install the Android 
SDK, you should be able to use the following:

Get the Android SDK Tools from

  http://developer.android.com/sdk/

and unpack it to your workspace directory. Switch to that Android SDK 
directory, and use

  tools/android update sdk --no-ui --force --filter platform

to download the necessary API level.

Later, when you build Bitcoin Wallet, you need to append the path to your SDK 
as follows:

  mvn clean package -Dandroid.sdk.path=<path to your android sdk>

Does this work for you?

• Removed labels: Type-Defect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Correction, you need to use

tools/android update sdk --no-ui --force --filter platform,platform-tools

Original comment by andreas....@gmail.com on 5 Feb 2013 at 10:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Installed API level 10 and the project now builds without errors.
Yes, the BUILDING description describing the process would be very helpful.

Again, thanks for your help!

Any plans in supporting electrum server protocol? This would reduce the time 
necessary now to download complete block chain.

Original comment by pi...@piotrpolak.com on 6 Feb 2013 at 9:21

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We don't plan to use Electrum, because that would introduce a dependency to a 
central component.

Instead, we will be using Bloom Filters to significantly reduce setup time and 
network traffic. If you want, you can play around with this and help testing. 
You'd need:

- a bitcoin-qt/bitcoind compiled from master (should be tagged 0.8.0-rc1 any 
day now)
- bitcoinj from master (will be bitcoin 0.7 soon)
- bitcoin-wallet from branch 'bitcoinj-0.7' (will be merged to master soon)

Precompiled preview APKs are available at

http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/downloads/list

Let me know if you're interested.

[deleted comment]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes, I'm interested.

Was planning to add Electrum support but at the same time I'm aware about 
dependency problem. So if Bloom Filters implementation is in the works I'm 
interested to help.

Will set up the dev environment. Please keep me posted.

Original comment by pi...@piotrpolak.com on 6 Feb 2013 at 12:43

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've added a building section to the bitcoinj-0.7 branch. You can read it here:

http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/source/browse/wallet/README?name=bitcoin
j-0.7

Be aware that the section reflects how things will work after bitcoinj 0.7 and 
Bitcoin Wallet 2.40 are released, so for now stick to the branches I named in 
commit #14.

If you need a bitcoin-qt capable of bloom filters and don't want to compile 
your own, you can use Mike's plan99.net for now.

Can we take further discussion to the Bitcointalk forum?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=100.0
