Installing a local TalkBack build

[Eitan Isaacson]

Hi!

How do you go about testing a local talkback build on a Pixel device?

You aren't alowed to uninstall the "system" version.

Cheers,

 Eitan.

Hi Etan.

If you are installing an open source build, it should co-exist side by side with the prebuilt version that comes as part of the system image. This means that you should see two services called "TalkBack" in Settings > Accessibility.

Hope this helps.

Victor

Victor wil  open gaps now have the talkback 6.1 in their open gapps packages.that  is what I think is making things not work for us who install custom roms on oreo .

I'm getting this error when I try to install a github build:

com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: Failed to finalize session : INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.android.talkback attempting to redeclare permission com.google.android.marvin.talkback.permission.LABELING already owned by com.google.android.marvin.talkback

Are you building from the command line? I suggest doing that.

[Eitan Isaacson]

yes.

I'm using the bundled gradlew command, tried all the different tasks (debug, release, aosp, etc).

[Victor Tsaran]

From your previous message, it looks like your gradle script attempts to compile instrumentation tests? Don't know why.

If I simply try 

./gradlew assembleRelease

or

./gradlew assembleebug

everything works great!

It looks like the failure is in the *installation* step, not the build step. Been a while since I've done this, but assembleDebug just does a build and not an installation, right? If so, that isn't the issue here--at least, not based on my reading.

I'm guessing that, while the open source release does use a different package name, that it tries to define the same permissions that the official release does, and that the package installer doesn't like this. I don't know of an easy fix.

Let me check. I am sure the "aosp install" task worked for me just fine.
