Installing Android SDK
Building the app for Android is easy once you have successfully installed all the required software.
Since we are using Phonegap as framework for creating the app, the documentation you have to follow is just in this link plus additional steps for installing plugins: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.5.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Android
Notice the following:
- You must read carefully the document and not use white spaces in some names and ids. (It's adviced in the document)
- You can optionally not use Eclipse and instead use adb command line or cordova script tools
- In the "4. Setup New Project" The package_name is the app id that your app will have in the Android Market (Play Store), so it must be unique. If you are going to develop for the official app you have to use com.moodle.moodlemobile, if you are going to develop a custom app, you will have to add your own unique id.
- If you want to connect a Device to your Eclipse and you are using Windows, you must install the Android USB Drivers, see http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver
