This is the source repository for Sky Map. You should see the following three directories:

• app: Application source
• test: Testing source (woefully out of date)
• tools: Source for generating binary data used by the app.

To build SkyMap, you can use Android Developer Studio or Gradle. Begin by by creating a local.properties file containing the location of your Android installation:

sdk.dir=<path to your SDK>

Android Developer Studio can create this for you.

Building a debug apk

From the root directory execute

./gradlew assembleDebug

The apk can be found in app/build/outputs/apk/.

Building a release apk

(Sky Map team only)

Set the following environment variables:

export KEYPWD=<the key password>
export KSTOREPWD=<the key store password>

From the root directory execute

./gradlew assemble

or

./gradlew assembleRelease

The apk can be found in app/build/outputs/apk/.

Note - at present the app built with these instructions will crash due to a mismatch between the R file and the strings constants in the data files. Fix coming soon.
