title: Android: Setup Travis-CI tags: android,travis-ci

Travis CI is a free continuous integration environment--i.e a container that download everything it needs to build your android project and then builds (and opitionally tests) it--for open source projects.

  1. Create a new Android project using a basic template in Android Studio. I'm using Android Studio 2.1.1.

  2. Optionally add this to your app/build.gradle file so travis-ci doesn't fail on lint errors that may not appear locally if your environment is differnt

      android {
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
  }

  3. Create a new github project for that and upload your project there, including the gradle wrapper.

  4. Now goto https://travis-ci.org and login by pressing the login with your github account button.

  5. Click add new repository on travis-ci. Press the sync account button at the top. Now you should be able to enable travis-ci for your new repo by pressing the toggle swich.

  6. In your app/build.gradle file note the BuildToolsVersion you're using and the targetSdkVersion

  7. Create a file called .travis.yml in your repo and upload it to github

      language: android
  java: oraclejdk8 # We need this if your sdk version is 24
  android:
    components:
      # Uncomment the lines below if you want to
      # use the latest revision of Android SDK Tools
      - platform-tools
      - tools
      
      # The BuildTools version used by your project
      - build-tools-YOUR_NOTED_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION
      
      # The SDK version used to compile your project
      - android-YOUR_NOTED_TARGET_SDK_VERSION
      
      # Additional components
      #- extra-google-google_play_services
      - extra-google-m2repository
      - extra-android-m2repository
      - addon-google_apis-google-19
   
  script:
    - ./gradlew build

Now refresh https://travis-ci.org/ and you should see your project building eventually. Click on the #YOURBUILDNUMBER started or #YOURBUILDNUMBER text and you'll be able to follow the console, watching your project build.

You can now add a fun button to your README.md showing your project has built via:

  [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/YOURGHUSERNAMEr/YOURPROJECTNAME.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/YOURGHUSERNAMEr/YOURPROJECTNAME)

Optionally, if you want to see the lint XML file in travis's console, add this after the - ./gradle build line:

 - cat /home/travis/build/YOURTRAVISUSERNAME/YOURPROJECTNAME/app/build/outputs/lint-results-debug.xml
