Hello Endpoints on Android from Scratch

Опубликовано 15 января 2014, 19:17

This video shows how the Hello Endpoints Android sample can be built from scratch. I keep a brisk pace to respect experienced Android developer's time, but it's also accessible to new Android developers who don't mind occasionally pausing.

It follows this general outline:

1.) Download the Hello Endpoints Java Backend API (goo.gl/ndv97M) and start it locally.

2.) Generate an Android-compatible client library for the Backend API.

3.) Setup a basic Android project that has a simple UI.

4.) Add the generated client library and dependencies to the Android project.

5.) Add code that uses the client library in Android.

6.) Test code in an Android emulator.

Make sure to have Maven 3.1+, Git, and Android Studio installed, operational, and updated before attempting to follow the steps in the video.
