Tango sample apps on Android Studio, with Gradle - google-project-tango

Question

Does anyone know a way to import the Java Tango samples (https://github.com/googlesamples/tango-examples-java) in Android Studio, and configuring correctly the build with Gradle ?
I've been able to import them in Android Studio, via "Import Project...", compile them and install them on the Tango tablet, but without using Gradle.
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

There is a git project which already migrates the samples to Android Studio - https://github.com/briangriffey/tango-examples-java

I think what you are asking for is the correct setup to let Gradle work for you.
For this you need to create a build.gradle file in your app's directory if the import did not do it for you. The build.gradle should look like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.project'
android {
compileSdkVersion 16
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 21
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile files('libs/MyJar.jar')
}
With the corresponding values for SdkVersion, buildToolsVersion, minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion.
In the "dependencies" block you can list all your jar-dependencies with :
compile files('libs/thejar.jar') or compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) if you have multiple jars.
Secondly, if it was not automatically created, you would need two files settings.gradle and build.gradle a the top-level of your project.
settings.gradle should contain:
include ':app'
assuming your app name is 'app'.
and build.gradle should contain:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Once you have this all in your project, you can use Build>Rebuild Project to make Gradle build the project for you.

Just as a follow up here, Tango c examples has been migrated to Android Studio project, you should be able to import directly to Android Studio now.
