[GSoC Week 13] Android Support for Pants (final)

[mateor]

Today is my last day with GSoC. John Sirois was kind enough to donate some 

time this weekend and get the JarsignerTask and Keystore target merged 

into master. If you point Pants at a basic Android app's source code, 

it will now output an apk that is suitable to publish to the Play Store 

or deploy to a device. 

I published a Beta Test version of the sample app we use in the Pants 

source tree. If you are a member of the pants-devel or twitter-gsoc mailing 

lists, you can opt-in and see the published app [0].

I have a (brief brief) design doc outlining what I believe the project 

priorities to be going forward. I intend to continue to work on it on 

a volunteer basis [1]. 

The official project scope was to add Android support for Pants. While 

there are plenty of TODOs, this is a sort of project that is never "finished".

Considering Pants can build an usable .apk, I believe we can consider the 

project a success. I had a lot of help along the way and would like to thank

everyone who gave me a hand or reviewed a commit. Particular thanks to 

@jsirois, @traviscrawford, @cra and @lahosken.

M = submitted to pantsbuild master branch

Week 13 Report:

    * M: JarsignerTask and Keystore target [2]:

Jarsigner outputs the signed apk, which means it is ready to be 

installed on a device or to be run on an emulator.

  All merged into master work can be seen here [3].

  All code reviews can be seen by scanning for my name here [4].

Thanks to everyone on the pants-devel list for their support and advice.

Thanks guys.

I am going to take the end of August to work on another project that has been languishing and requires immediate attention. But I will begin contributing some hours again in September.

Thanks you very much for all your work and patience working through reviews.  In particular you navigated a quickly-moving codebase and that was no easy or fun task.

A tip of the hat and a go go go!
