UY END -->一个android工程包含了一些列源代码或文件。 Android SDK 工具为我们提供了创建一个新工程的简便方法，按照一些设置，它能自动为你建立好一个工程需要的源代码结构。本课程分别演示如何用eclipse（和ADT插件）和命令行创建一个android新工程。Note：在这之前，你应该先安装好了Android SDK，而且如果你是用eclispe开发，你还要安装 ( 21.0.0 版本以上).如果你没有，你可以学习 这一课程。一、用eclipse创建一个工程图 1.eclipse新建一个android工程的步骤.点击工具栏里面的新建(New) &。打开 Android 目录, 选择 Android Application Project, 然后点击下一步（这里注意不同eclipse的版本可能不完全一致，但应该都会出现选择 Android Application Project）。填写出现的表单（如图）： &Application Name是用户使用app的时候看到的应用名字。 我们取名为&My First App.& Project Name &是指这个项目的名称，显示在eclipse的项目列表里面。Package Name &app的包名(和普通java项目的Package Name是一个概念)。你的包名必须是独一无二的，在整个android系统中不能有两个同样的包名。基于此原因，我们推荐你用一个机构的反向域名作为包名（这样应该不会重复吧）。我们这个例子的包名叫： &com.example.myfirstapp.&。但是如果你要将你的应用发布到安卓商店google play上面，“com.example”是不被允许的。Minimum Required SDK &指你的app所支持的android最低版本, 因为不同的版本对应不同的api，表明要使用的 . &为了让app尽可能的支持更多的android系统和设备，你应该将这个值设置成在不影响你应用核心功能情况下的最低值。 如果你的app某种特性只能在新版本的android上才能体现出来，但是这又并不是这个app的核心功能的话，你可以设置成只有在支持这一特性的版本上才启用，（参考
一文）。Target SDK（又叫 &Build SDK） 一般来讲是最高版本的android或者是api。这个是指你测试你app的版本类型。
& Compile With 这个指你要编译的sdk版本，默认值是最新版本，（一般来说是4.1以上（对应的值是1.6），如果你还没有这个sdk版本，你应该用sdk管理工具下载一个），你也可以选择一个较老的版本来编译，但是用新sdk的好处是，新版本支持很多新特性，比如actionbar。 & &Theme 主题： 主题是指你的app风格，这个设置会影响到你的app在某些公共控件上的表现，比如holo风格主题的actionbar字体颜色是白色，且在代码中不能改变，除非是在style中覆盖了该style。你可以忽略这一步。4.下一步是设置工程的一些参数，可以直接跳过。5.这一步是设置app应用程序图标。你可以自己设定图标，但是最好让你的图标符合规范，参见UI设计向导的
。点击下一步6.这一步你可以设置app模版，我直接选BlankActivity然后点下一步。7.后面的设置都保持默认，直接点完成。在eclipse上创建一个安卓工程就完成了。二、用命令行创建一个工程如果你没有eclipse这样的工具，那么你可以用sdk工具在命令行里面建立一个安卓工程。1.切换目录到sdk/tool所在目录。2.执行android list targets 命令。屏幕将会列出你为sdk所下载的不同android版本。选择你想要编译的版本，同时记录下其id。我们建议你选择一个最新的版本。3.执行：android create project --target &target-id& --name MyFirstApp \
--path &path-to-workspace&/MyFirstApp --activity MainActivity \
--package com.example.myfirstapp将&target-id&替换成你刚刚记录下的android版本id。

Install Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova
Visual Studio 2013
In Visual Studio 2013, the Cordova tools are released as a preview (CTP) version. Cordova tools will be released as part of Visual Studio 2015 and we recommend that you now use Visual Studio 2015 RC to
using Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova. You can download Visual Studio from the .
Take advantage of the easy-to-use installer to build cross-platform apps with Visual Studio and Apache Cordova. With the installer, you don’t have to identify the required SDKs, tools, and libraries (or which versions). In this section:
One of the following operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows Server 2012 R2.ImportantIf you are using Windows 7, you can develop apps for Android and iOS, but not for Windows or Windows Phone.To build apps for specific device platforms, there are a few additional requirements:iOS and the iOS Simulator require a Mac computer capable of running
(Xcode 6 is recommended). For additional information and installation steps, see .TipIf you want to build iOS on a cloud service instead of Mac hardware, see .Android emulators work best on computers that can run either Hyper-V or the Intel HAXM driver. See .Windows Phone emulators require a computer that can run Hyper-V. View the emulator's ., which are included as an optional component in Visual Studio 2015. Follow the steps in the next section to install the tools.ImportantVisual Studio 2015 RC is recommended for developing Apache Cordova apps. If you previously installed Visual Studio 2015 Preview or a Visual Studio 2015 CTP, you must first uninstall it using Control Panel, Programs and Features, before installing Visual Studio 2015 RC.The installer for Visual Studio 2015 includes a secondary installer to support Cordova app development. The secondary installer gives you the option to install the following third-party software. Most of these are open-source software required by specific platforms or by Apache Cordova.Joyent Node.js enables Visual Studio to integrate with the Apache Cordova Command Line Interface (CLI) and Apache Ripple Emulator.Git CLI is required only if you need to manually add Git URIs for specific Cordova plug-ins.Google Chrome is required to run the Apache Ripple emulator for iOS and Android.Apache Ant 1.8.0 or later is required for the Android build process.32-bit Oracle Java JDK 7 is required for the Android build process.Caution64-bit Java is not supported.Android SDK is required for the Android build process and Ripple.Apple iTunes is required for deploying an app to an iOS device connected to your Windows PC.Run the installer that you found in .Follow the instructions to install Visual Studio 2015 RC, and make sure you install the following optional features:HTML/JavaScript (Apache Cordova)NoteIf you are installing Visual Studio 2013 instead of Visual Studio 2015 RC (we recommend Visual Studio 2015), the Cordova tools are installed as a .Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools…NoteYou can add these features to an existing installation of Visual Studio 2015. In Control Panel, choose Programs and Features. Select Visual Studio 2015 from the list, and then choose Change. In the Visual Studio setup window, choose Modify. In the features list, select the optional features as shown in the illustration.When prompted, allow the installer to install third-party software dependencies, or you can clear the software selections and manually install the dependencies you need later.ImportantIf the third-party dependencies are already on your system or you choose to install them manually, you might have to update your system path. See .Reboot your computer to make sure everything is installed correctly.Open Visual Studio, choose Tools, then Extensions and Updates, and then Updates. If there is a Visual Studio update available for Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova, install it.NoteThe first time you build an app after installing the tools, Visual Studio will download and install the Cordova tools. As a result, the first build takes extra time to complete. Check the Output window to see progress. If you see an error Cannot find module [modulename], see .To build and run iOS apps on the iOS Simulator or on an iOS device using Visual Studio, you must install and configure the remote agent, , on a Mac computer that meets the requirements specified below. (Currently, iOS apps can't be built on Windows.) In Visual Studio on your PC, you must also configure the remote agent as described in this topic.NoteFor information on using cloud-hosted Mac services instead of a Mac, see . If you are running Windows on a Mac using virtualization technology, you can build and run iOS locally. For more information, see . Before you install the remote agent, make sure you have .You can configure the agent to handle build requests and run the app on an iOS device or the iOS Simulator. To host the remote agent, the Mac computer must have the following installed:Mac OS X MavericksXcode 6Xcode command-line tools (from Terminal app, use xcode-select --install) , if you are using a CLI from a Git repository.If the CLI version is pointed to a Git location, Git is required to build the app for iOS.You must also have the following:An active iOS Developer Program account with AppleAn iOS provisioning profile configured in Xcode (download the provisioning profile and run the downloaded *.cer file)NoteFor detailed information, read the
in the iOS Developer Library.A signing identity configured in Xcode (choose XCode, Preferences)From the Terminal app on your Mac, type:
sudo npm install -g vs-mda-remote --user=$USER
where $USER will be replaced by your user name on the Mac. When you run the command, you will be prompted to enter your password as well.The global installation (-g) switch is recommended but not required.If you have an older version of Node.js and npm, you may need to type the following commands before you start up the remote agent.
sudo npm cache clear
sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.npm
These commands provide permission to modify the contents of the npm package cache in your home directory (newer versions of Node.js and npm will do this for you automatically.)When you first start vs-mda-remote, developer mode will be activated on your Mac.
and two npm packages will also be installed.CautionTo install Homebrew, you need sudo (administrator) access. If you need to install vs-mda-remote without sudo, you can install Homebrew manually in a usr/local location and add its bin folder to your path. For more information, see the . If you need to manually enable developer mode, type the following in the Terminal app: DevToolsSecurity –enableIf you updated your computer to a new version of Visual Studio, you must update to the current version of the remote agent as well.Repeat the installation step from the previous section.From the Terminal app on your Mac, type:
vs-mda-remote
This will start the agent with a default build directory of ~/remote-builds. Additional configurations options for the agent are described in .The first time you start the agent, you will be provided with the required information to configure the agent in Visual Studio, including the host, the port, and the security PIN.Importantvs-mda-remote has been designed to securely transfer build payloads to and from Visual Studio using a PIN.If you intend to configure the remote agent in Visual Studio using the host name, ping the Mac using the host name to verify that it is reachable. Otherwise, you may need to use the IP address instead.Before you can use the remote agent, you must specify the remote configuration in Visual Studio.If the agent is not already running on your Mac, start the remote agent.On your Mac, get the host name or IP address of your Mac.You can get the IP address by using the ifconfig command.On the Visual Studio menu bar, choose Tools, Options. In the Options dialog box, open Tools for Apache Cordova, and then choose Remote Agent Configuration.Set Enable remote iOS processing to True.In the Host, Port, and Security PIN fields, type the values specified by the remote agent when you started it the first time. The host can be the name or IP address of your Mac. The default port is 3000.NoteIf you cannot ping the Mac using the host name, you may need to use the IP address.When you click OK, Visual Studio will connect to the remote agent (the agent must be running to connect).If you want to disable secure mode and enable simple HTTP-based connections, choose False as the Secure mode setting. Alternatively, type the following command in the Terminal app:
vs-mda-remote --secure false
If secure mode is disabled, you can leave the Security PIN field blank when configuring the agent in Visual Studio.The security PIN is for one-time use. If you need to regenerate the security PIN, see .From the Terminal app on your Mac, press Ctrl+C.In some circumstances, additional steps may be required to update and configure the tools.If you choose not to install one or more dependencies with Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova, you may need to If you need to verify the path for a third-party dependency or if you have multiple versions of a dependency installed, see If you are running Visual Studio behind a proxy, see .To use and configure the vs-mda-remote agent for building iOS apps, see the following: If you see unexpected errors when trying to build the Blank App template, see .
