Android Maven Blank

A blank android project that has maven support with some frecuently used dependencies in android:

• ActionBarSherlock
• Google maps Android API v2
• Google Analytics
• RoboGuice (Dependency Injection)
• RoboElectric (Testing)
• Facebok SDK

Prerequisites

Option 1: Use my repository

By default, the pom.xml file has a repository configured, that is pointing to a public dropbox directory where I have uploaded all the dependencies needed.

You don´t need to do anything to use this option. Just understand that maybe some day this directory won´t exist.

If you import this project in Android Studio it should work without doing anything.

Option 2: Generate all the dependencies

Delete my repository from the pom.xml and follow the same steps that I did to generate the dependencies in my local repository.

Go to this link and follow the steps: maven-android-sdk-deployer

Delete unused dependencies

If you are not going to use all the dependencies listed above, delete them from the pom.xml

Generate APK with maven

Debug APK

If you want to generate the debug apk, just execute:

mvn clean package

The apk will be generated in the target/ directory.

Signed APK

If you want to generate a signed apk, ready to be uploaded to the Play Store, first you have to configure the following properties in pom.xml

<keystore.location>keystore_MODIFYME</keystore.location>
<keystore.storepass>storepass_MODIFYME</keystore.storepass>
<keystore.keypass>keypass_MODIFYME</keystore.keypass>
<keystore.alias>alias_MODIFYME</keystore.alias>

Then execute:

mvn clean package -Psign

In the target/ directory there will be a new apk with the suffix '-signed-aligned.apk'. This is the apk you will have to upload to the Play Store.
