## HOWTO
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. On your host: open a terminal
|
|
|
|
|
1. `cd <BOINC_REPO>/android`
|
|
|
|
|
1. `vagrant up`
|
|
|
|
|
1. Wait until the final reboot finished
|

|
|
|
1. **From this point on you don't need Vagrant anymore**
|
|
|
|
|
1. Don't run `vagrant up` again!
|
|
|
|
|
2. Just use VirtualBox to stop/start your new shiny VM
|

|
|
|
1. In the VM:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Log in with `vagrant/vagrant`
|

|
|
|
1. Open a terminal
|
|
|
|
|
1. `cd BOINC/android`
|
|
|
|
|
1. `./build_all.sh`
|

|
|
|
1. Start Android Studio
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* OK / Next / Next / Finish / Finish
|
|
|
|
|
1. Import the BOINC App as *Gradle* project from: `~/BOINC/android/BOINC`
|

|
|
|
1. Ignore potential Gradle Plugin warning: *Don't remind me again*
|

## Know limitations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The Android Virtual Device Manager might not work properly as it needs virtualization
|
|
|
|
|
which isn't possible within a virtual machine (at least not using VirtualBox).
