Needed: Periodic testing for developer sample apps.
I've been importing a number of Google's sample Android apps into Eclipse and/or Android Studio. It's painful. If we could periodically download and run these Apps on a fresh Android Studio/Eclipse(/Xcode?) we might save developers a lot of time and catch broken examples sooner. Automation for bonus points...
Here's just a few things I bumped into:
- GMS changed their APIs between v4.0 and v4.1 Half the things I was trying to do didn't work.
- Most examples have a hard coded compile version which means the import fails unless you've been downloading SDK versions for the past couple years. Once you figure this out it's an easy fix, but it's still another roadblock.
- Developer Console vs Cloud Console. 'nuff said there..
Here's some of the bits and pieces:
