The command " svn info " prints information about the current directory:
$ svn info Path: . URL: http://svn.example.c... where: Revision: is the last syncup (update) revision of the current TARGET (artifact/file/directory, whatever you call). This number bumps up to that of the current project revision number after you do an update. Last Changed Rev: is the revision number of the latest change for the current TARGET . If TARGET is a directory, it is the revision number of the latest change within the directory, including all subdirectories. However , this number is not accurate after you do a check in without a following update. The revision number for the file or directory you checked in will have higher revision number than its parent/ancestor. To...

This is the command to print all regular files in the src folder but excluding all files within the .svn folders:
$ find src -name .svn -prune -o -type f -print
where -o is the or operator.
Define a shortcut:
ff ()
{
find $1 -name .svn -prune -o -...

Use the expand command to extract files from a .cab file:
expand [-r] source [destination] [-d source.cab ... Option Description [-r] Renames expanded files. [destination] Specifies where files are to be expanded. If source is multiple files and -r is not specified, destination must be a directory. destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, a file name, or a combination of any of these. [-d source.cab] Displays a list of files in the source location. Does not expand or extract the files. [-f:files] Specifies the files in a cabinet (.cab) file that you intend to expand. You can use wildcards (* and ?). source.cab Specifies the files to expand. source can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory...

Resource files under the src/main/resources directory are copied verbatim to the target/classes directory during build. But resources can be filtered by turning on filtering in pom.xml :
<build> <resources> <resource> ... When filtering is turned on, constructs like ${...} are replaced with actual values if they are defined. For example, create a file test.properties : project.stage=${project.stage} The build command " mvn package " simply copies test.properties to target/classes/ . But if you build with: mvn -Dproject.stage=dev package the contents of target/classes/test.properties becomes: project.stage=dev Sometimes you want different resource definitions for different environments, e.g., dev vs. prod. You can achieve that by defining profiles in pom.xml : <profiles> <profile> <id>dev</id> ... In the above, dev is the default profile, prod is defined but not active unless...

When you run automated Android tests with Eclipse or from the command line, you get text output, which isn't good for reporting purposes. If you run a large set of test cases with automated build, the text report isn't very helpful. Fortunately, Android CTS generates test reports in XML with accompanying XSL to make it look nice in a browser. To run your own tests with Android CTS: Download Android CTS Make a new directory MyRepository under android-cts , alongside the existing repository directory. Copy host_config.xml from repository to MyRepository Create directory plans under MyRepository , add a test plan ( MyTests.xml ):

The Android unit test framework is based on JUnit 3 , not JUnit 4. Test cases have to extend junit.framework.TestCase or a subclass (such as android.test.InstrumentationTestCase ). Tests are identified by public methods whose name starts with test , not methods annotated with @Test (as in JUnit 4). An Android test suite is packaged as an APK, just like the application being tested. To create a test package, first you need to identify the application package it is testing. Google suggests to put the test package source in a directory named tests/ alongside the src/ directory of the main application. At runtime, Android instrumentation loads both the test package and the application under test into the same process. Therefore, the tests can invoke methods on...

In Android.mk , you can define LOCAL_JARJAR_RULES like this:
LOCAL_JARJAR_RULES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/jarjar-rules.t...
and in jarjar-rules.txt define a rule like this:
rule org.bouncycastle.** com.android.@0
The build will change all org.bouncycastle to com.android.org.bouncycastle . Therefore, in your classes which are dependent on the library produced, the import statements should look like:

This is an odd-ball content provider in that it doesn't provide database records, but provides a resource as a stream. It can be used to provide media files or XML resources. Start the project with:

By Android documentation , odex files are "Optimized DEX" files, which can be created in at least three different ways: The VM does it "just in time". The output goes into a special dalvik-cache directory. This works on the desktop and engineering-only device builds where the permissions on the dalvik-cache directory are not restricted. On production devices, this is not allowed. The system installer does it when an application is first added. It has the privileges required to write to dalvik-cache . The build system does it ahead of time. The relevant jar / apk files are present, but the classes.dex is stripped out. The optimized DEX is stored next to the original zip archive, not in dalvik-cache , and is part of the system...
