Prerequisites
The following items must be addressed prior
to performing this procedure:
- An existing Eclipse installation
must already exist. If you wish to install both the ADT plug-in
and Eclipse, see the procedure “Installing the ADT Bundle With Eclipse.”
- The Java Development Kit 7 (a.k.a. JDK version 1.7) installer
should be downloaded and available. Information and the installer
can be found by Clicking Here. Alternately, you can
enter the following URL into your web browser: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Task
This procedure provides information on installing the
Android Development Toolkit (ADT) Plug-in to an existing Eclipse
instance. This is a necessary component for development of custom
controls using the SAP Agentry OpenUI.
Additionally, it is
necessary to install the Java SDK version 1.7, and to configure
the system upon which it is installed by making changes to the Environment
variables.
- Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) version
1.7. Note the installation location, as this will be needed later
in this procedure.
- Create a new Environment Variable for Windows by right
clicking on My Computer, selecting Advanced system settings, and
then clicking Environment Variables. Create a System Variable named
JAVA_HOME and set its value equal to the location in which the JDK
was installed in the previous step.
- Next the ADT Plug-in can be installed to the Eclipse
instance. This process can be handled either through Eclipse itself,
or by downloading the PLug-in and then installing to Eclipse locally.
Instructions for this procedure are provided on the Android developer
site. In a web browser, navigate to the page for the ADT Plug-in
by Clicking Here. Alternately, enter
the following URL into your web browser: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html This
page contains information on both installing and configuring the
plug-in within Eclipse.
- After installing the ADT plug-in, it is necessary to
update the Android SDK that was a part of the installation. Open
the folder under the Eclipse directory create in the previous step
containing the Android SDK and start the SDK Manager. Here, add
the required API versions from the SDK, which include versions 10,
15, and 17. For information on the SDK Manager, Click Here. Alternately, enter the
following URL in your web browser: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html
With the completion of this procedure, the Android development
environment needed for working with the OpenUI SDK for Android is
in place.
Next
See the procedure “SAP Mobile Platform Agentry OpenUI
for Android Project Setup” for instructions on creating and importing
the projects within the OpenUI SDK.
