[srobo-devel] App for Bristol Kit

[Michael Aldridge]

Hey

The tablet in the Bristol demo kit doesn't have the SR app on it. I am
aware we can just use the webpage (which is what we have been doing) but it
would be nice to get it as close to a school kit as possible for when we
use it to teach new mentors stuff. I have looked in the tablet/app repo and
could not find an APK file. I have no experience with android development
so would not know what to do with the source. Anyone able to help?

Cheers

Michael

Hi Michael,

You’ll have to install Android Studio (http://developer.android.com/tools/studio/index.html <http://developer.android.com/tools/studio/index.html>), open the project in ‘tablet/app’ in it, press “Build", and then it will produce an APK for you.

Alternatively you can install Gradle (http://gradle.org/ <http://gradle.org/>) and the run ‘gradle build’ in the directory, however this way is more complicated.
