- Building TalkBack from the command line using Ant
- -------------------------------------------------
- To get started with Ant, first make sure you have the latest version of Ant
- installed. If not:
- sudo apt-get install ant1.8
- The default version on Linux is 1.7, which is too old for the latest Android
- SDK.
- Next, generate a build script with the Android tools. From the talkback
- directory, run:
- android update project --path . --target android-8 --name TalkBack
- This will create some default build files for Android. These are build.xml,
- default.properties, and local.properties.
- However we will still need to tell Ant where to find external libraries. So
- edit the file default.properties (create it if it doesn't exist) and add the
- following lines:
- android.library.reference.1=../commandslib/
- android.library.reference.2=../actionslib/
- android.library.reference.3=../ime/latinime/
- You'll need to have actionslib, commandslib, ime/aimelib, and ime/latinime
- checked out from marvin. Now you can build an unsigned TalkBack apk by running:
- ant release
- The resulting apk can be found at bin/Talkback-unsigned.apk, ready to be
- signed, zipaligned, and installed on a phone.

- Additionally, the contents of the TalkBack keyboard library's manifest file
- have been merged into AndroidManifest.xml.
