Cordova Android - (ChromeView)
===

Cordova Android is an Android application library that allows for Cordova-based
projects to be built for the Android Platform. Cordova based applications are,
at the core, applications written with web technology: HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

[Apache Cordova](http://cordova.io) is a project at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF).

Using ChromeView instead of WebView

Requires
---

- Java JDK 1.5 or greater
- Apache ANT 1.8.0 or greater
- Android SDK [http://developer.android.com](http://developer.android.com)


Cordova Android Developer Tools
---

The Cordova developer tooling is split between general tooling and project level tooling.

To enable the command-line tools available in the ./bin directory, make
sure you have all of the dependencies installed. You will need
[NodeJS](http://nodejs.org) (which should come with `npm`). To install
the dependencies:

$ cd bin
$ npm install

General Commands

./bin/create [path package activity] ... create the ./example app or a cordova android project
./bin/autotest ......................... test the cli tools
./bin/test ............................. run mobile-spec

Project Commands

These commands live in a generated Cordova Android project.

./cordova/debug [path] ..................... install to first device
./cordova/emulate .......................... start avd (emulator) named default
./cordova/log .............................. starts logcat

Running the Example Project
---

Start avd (emulator) named `default`:

./bin/emulate

Create the example project and build it to the first device:

./bin/create
cd example
./cordova/debug

Start adb logcat (console.log calls output here):

./cordova/log

Creating a new Cordova Android Project
---

./bin/create ~/Desktop/myapp com.myapp.special MyApp

Importing a Cordova Android Project into Eclipse
----

1. File > New > Project...
2. Android > Android Project
3. Create project from existing source (point to the generated app found in tmp/android)
4. Right click on libs/cordova.jar and add to build path
5. Right click on the project root: Run as > Run Configurations
6. Click on the Target tab and select Manual (this way you can choose the emulator or device to build to)

Building without the Tooling
---
Note: The Developer Tools handle this. This is only to be done if the tooling fails, or if
you are developing directly against the framework.

To create your `cordova.jar` file, run in the framework directory:

android update project -p . -t android-17
ant jar

Running Tests
----
Please see details under test/README.md.
