 1Building TalkBack from the command line using Ant
 2-------------------------------------------------
 3
 4To get started with Ant, first make sure you have the latest version of Ant 
 5installed. If not:
 6
 7sudo apt-get install ant1.8
 8
 9The default version on Linux is 1.7, which is too old for the latest Android 
10SDK. 
11
12Next, generate a build script with the Android tools. From the talkback 
13directory, run:
14
15android update project --path . --target android-8 --name TalkBack
16
17This will create some default build files for Android. These are build.xml,
18default.properties, and local.properties.
19
20However we will still need to tell Ant where to find external libraries. So 
21edit the file default.properties (create it if it doesn't exist) and add the 
22following lines:
23
24android.library.reference.1=../commandslib/
25android.library.reference.2=../actionslib/
26android.library.reference.3=../ime/latinime/
27
28You'll need to have actionslib, commandslib, ime/aimelib, and ime/latinime
29checked out from marvin. Now you can build an unsigned TalkBack apk by running:
30
31ant release
32
33The resulting apk can be found at bin/Talkback-unsigned.apk, ready to be 
34signed, zipaligned, and installed on a phone.
