Deploy

This tool is mainly used by 4D Mobile App to create Android project.

To inject a custom build you must place a compiled androidprojectgenerator.jar in Resources/scripts of 4D Mobile App.

💡 By default 4D Mobile App will download the latest release on github, see _copyJarIfmissing function.

Build

./build.sh

Test using command line

You could use test.sh

configure

This test script need the 4D Mobile App component to get some templates files. You must defined the env var MOBILE_COMPONENT_PATH.

use it

./test.sh /path/to/your/4d/host/database /path/to/some/file/like/lastAndroidBuild.4dmobile

if no .4dmobile file defined, it will use the last one generated in $HOME/Library/Caches/com.4d.mobile/lastAndroidBuild.4dmobile

./test.sh /path/to/your/4d/database

then if you do not provide the database it will try to use the 4D Mobile App.4dbase (in perforce or 4D.app)

./test.sh
