How to build the android apk from the command line?

General Discussion

  1. First install Docker (instructions vary, depend on your platform)

  2. Clone the android repo and remove the ‘wear’ from settings.gradle:

git clone git@github.com:MycroftAI/Mycroft-Android.git
cd Mycroft-Android
  1. Modify settings.gradle by removing the ‘wear’ part (If someone knows how to keep it and make things work, let me know)
include ':mobile', ':shared'
  1. Create the apk:
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home/user/project -w /home/user/project -u $(id -u):$(id -g) wizbii/android-sdk bash -c 'cd /home/user/project/ && ./gradlew assembleDebug'

And the output with the error:

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.14.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
