I followed the installation process in Phonegap.
There were a few folders I used:
- C:\AndroidSDK (x) - zip download
- C:\Development - program files, phonegap source code
- C:\Android (x) - android source code
- C:\Node
1, 1.5. I had to reinstall Android adt (it contains android sdk + eclipse) in
C:\Development
2. After installing Node.js, I tested and saved the source code in
C:\Node
3, 3.1. I don't use C:\Android any more. It just contains the test code I did for Android study.
3.5
C:\AndroidSDK Download - I just saved zip file here. adt zip file seems to have date stamp everyday?!
4. I had to change Path variable many times after installing different softwares. (Path contains %JAVA_HOME%\bin;)
5. The current Path (system variable) looks like this.
5.5 Note that I added JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME to system variable as well.
The details are at the end of this posting.
6. I failed in adding android platform. I found later this is because my ADT was not set up properly for 64 bit.
7, 7.5. Make sure when you type 'android' in dos command, you can see some android SDK manager starting.
7.6, 7.7. You have to select android version as well. I mainly installed Adnroid 4.2.2.
8. Make sure you are in the right directory when you check installed platform. Otherwise you cannot see anything. In this case, you should have done the 'cordova platform ls' command in C:\Node\hello.
9. I had also problem in installing javac.exe. When I run eclipse.exe I had error.
10.1, 10.2, 10.3 So I had to install java again, but not jre, the jdk.
11. If java is not installed properly, you cannot add android platform.
12. Every time, you change system variable or install java, you have to restart PC to reflect the new path. Log off is not enough.
14, 14.1 I also had to install ANT after installing java.
15, 15.1. After doing all this installation, i could add android platform.
16. You need to emulate in android
17. You can import sample code into sdk if you don't want to see the default html file.
18, 18.1. You need to assign target device to emulate. (or AVD, Android Virtual Device)
19. Finally you can see emulate screen. And wait a bit more, you will see the index.html.
20. FYI, cordova 3.0 doesn't work 'create' function. You have to use 'emulate'.
21. Change index.html whatever you want.
22. You can see it in emulator.
How to deploy into your phone? That's our next task.
