It was just a few days before the speaker proposal submit deadline that I found out about the AnDevCon Anroid Developer Conference and luckily my proposal got accepted. In the last those three days I met an incredible amount of people, put a lot of faces to contacts I already know or know of via twitter, blogs and more and also learned a whole lot of new stuff. Not to mention that it was very inspiring on a technical level and beyond and there are now a lot of more things on my todo and want to look at list

No matter if you were able to attend my presentation at AnDevCon 2011 or not, here are the presentation files for all of you to enjoy:
Taking Advantage of Apache Maven for Android Development
Unit Testing, Integration Testing and Continuous Builds for Android Development
Now that the static library for Fragments support down to Android 1.6 is available as part of the SDK download, I have updated the Maven Android SDK Deployer to push the jar into your Maven repository so you can use it as part of your Android project built with the great Maven Android Plugin.
Check out the details on the documentation for the deployer and hopefully see you at AnDevCon next week.
I have updated the Maven Android SDK Deployer with support for the full release of the 3.0 platform of the Android SDK so that all Maven users can build their tablet apps before the open source built jars get into Maven central. Get it while its hot
PS: I have since updated to fix a tiny glitch as well as added the missing maps jar..
Joining the fray of news and stuff to play with I have updated the Maven Android SDK Deployer to support the prerelease of Android Honeycomb. With it users of the Maven Android Plugin can start creating Android tablet applications and exploring the new features from day one of the public release.

Last week it seemed like the right people came together to get stuff done. You see, I had multiple attempts during the last year getting the no_aop jar for Google Guice 2.0 into Maven central and somehow things just did not not happen. With the plan for Roboguice 1.1 to be released shortly and the java.net infrastructure unavailable as a Maven repository for the unforseeable future, we had a bit of a crunch. So Michael Burton and myself decided to try one more time to see if we can get Roboguice into Maven central. Problem is however that if you deploy to Maven central, your dependencies have to be there already. Sadly when Guice 2.0 got deployed the no aop artifact was forgotten. We created an issue on the guice issue tracker but somehow got no traction there. Continue reading ‘More Guice for Android and Maven central’
So last time I explained how to set up Proguard in your Maven build for your Android application without getting yourself into trouble with regards to different operating systems or with automatically saving your mapping file in case you use obfuscation and want to be able to make sense of the stack traces in the Android market backend. I however mostly left out any tips on configuring proguard itself, since this is a whole other chapter. And thats what I am going to explain a bit more in detail today..

So with the introduction with the Android License Validation Library and now with the SDK tools revision 8 and the integrated options, Proguard has gained more and more interest in the Android developer community and users of the Maven Android Plugin are certainly not left behind. Of course Proguard is a fairly powerful tool that overs plenty of opportunity to get yourself into trouble or long debugging sessions. With this post I am going to show you how to best set up proguard usage in your Maven based Android application build. So lets get started.

After presenting about Apache Maven usage for Android development at the Vancouver Android Developer group and the Barcelona GTUG as well as the first Canadian Android Developer conference AndroidTO, I am taking another step forward. Coming March 2011 I will be presenting about using the Maven Android Plugin and associated tools from setup to publishing your application on the market as well as running continuous integration servers and working with instrumentation tests and related toolkits probably showcasing Robotium as well as RoboElectric.
It would be great if you could join me there as well as let me know if there is any specific topics in this context that you would like to see discussed.
I am also contemplating organizing some sort of Maven Android Plugin or even a more generic build tool related BOF or so. Would you be interested in something like that? If so let me know here or on the Maven Android Developers mailing list.
I look forward to meet you in San Francisco.
Manfred
