Recap Presentation about Maven and Android

So yesterday I went over to Vancouver to present about Apache Maven and how it can be used for Android application development. There were about 20 people in the audience with a very wide range of exposure to Android development and Apache Maven. From my impression and the feedback on the meeting site everybody has learned something and had a good time. Just in case you missed it the Apache Maven and Android Development presentation slides are now available in PDF format. There is definitely a desire to introduce more power in the build process for Android application development and Maven is able to deliver that to many users.:

I am pretty happy with feedback like

  • Great presentation, lots of details from a knowledgeable speaker.
  • Great technical presentation about developing Android applications with Apache maven. Lots of details, and very well presented.
  • Got useful tips on Maven and starting with Android dev setup
  • I was looking for a command-line method of building code, so this may be a solution. Good presentation
  • Interesting presentation, will definitely check out Maven a bit more now.

I will talk about the Apache Maven in general, the Maven Android SDK deployer, the Maven Android Plugin and the integration into Eclipse with M2Eclipse and the M2Eclipse Android Integration as well as a look at IntellijIDEA.
