# Ionic + Capacitor + Angular base project template

This is a base template to build an Android (and iOS) app using the following libraries:

Library | Version
------------|--------
Ionic | 7
Capacitor | 5.2
Angular | 16.1

## How to use and customize the template

### clone GIT repository

`git clone https://github.com/nicorac/ionic-capacitor-angular-template.git`

### install npm packages

`npm install`

### App name

choose a name for your app, like "**Brisk byte**"

### Template values

replace template default values with yours:

Element | Search (template value) | Replace with (new value) | Notes
----------|-----------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code name | `myappcodename` | `briskbyte` | lowercase, no dashes
Namespace | `org.example` | `com.domain` | should be unique, so better use your domain
App id | `org.example.myappcodename` | `com.domain.briskbyte` | application unique id (must be globally unique, so include your full domain, **lowercase, no dashes**)
App name | `My App Name` | `Brisk byte` | application "human-readable" name (no formatting limits)

### Android **main activity** class file

**Main Activity** Android class file must be in a subfolder like `Namespace/Codename` (see table above).

So you must rename template file
`android/app/src/main/java/org/example/myappcodename/MainActivity.java`
to `android/app/src/main/java/com/domain/briskbyte/MainActivity.java`.

### Set your own app icon

Use an external tool (like [Icon kitchen](https://icon.kitchen)) to generate your app icons, then store them in these folders:

Description | Folder
--------------------|--------------------------------
Android app icons | `android/app/src/main/res`
About page icon | `src/assets/icons/app-icon.png`

### `package.json` file

Edit `author` and `description` fields in `package.json` file.

### Application version

Application version must be set into these files:

- `src\app\version.ts`
- `android\app\build.gradle` --> versionName
- `package.json` (not mandatory...)

## VSCode debug

`.vscode/launch.json` file includes configurations to launch & debug application, both locally and externally on an Android device.

- `All (local)` starts local Ionic/Angular server and opens Chrome to debug application **locally**
- `All (ext)` starts external Ionic/Angular server and opens/debugs application on an external Android device

## Manual remote debug (on external Android device)

(ref: )

- Install VSCode Android WebView Debugging extension \

- Start the Capacitor app on external device

`ionic cap run android --livereload --external`

- Attach VSCode debugger

## Open Android Studio for this project

`npx cap open android`

## Build final apk

- Build app (Web part) \
`ionic capacitor build android --prod`
- **Android Studio** will open at the end, now build Android app (pressing `F7`)
- Resulting APK is in `./android/app/build/outputs/apk`
