|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|

Building a custom Android app
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The Android app is built from the `official edx-app-android repository <https://github.com/edx/edx-app-android/>`__. To change this repository or the app version, you can simply build a different docker image with::
|
|
|
|
tutor images build \
|
|
--build-arg ANDROID_APP_REPOSITORY=https://github.com/mycustomfork/edx-app-android \
|
|
--build-arg ANDROID_APP_VERSION=master \
|
|
android
|
|
|
|
Releasing an Android app
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
**Note**: this is an untested feature.
|
|
|
|
Releasing an Android app on the Play Store requires to build the app in release mode. To do so, modify the following Tutor settings::
|
|
|
|
tutor config save \
|
|
--set ANDROID_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=yourstorepassword \
|
|
--set ANDROID_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=yourreleasekeypassword \
|
|
--set ANDROID_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=yourreleasekeyalias \
|
|
--set ANDROID_ENABLE_RELEASE_MODE=true
|
|
|
|
Then, place your keystore file in ``$(tutor config printroot)/env/plugins/android/build/app/config/app.keystore``. Finally, rebuild the image by starting the "android-app" container::
|
|
|
|
tutor local start -d android-app
|
|
|
|
Customising the Android app
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Customising the application, such as the logo or the background image, is currently not supported. If you are interested by this feature, please tell us about it in the Tutor `discussion forums <https://discuss.overhang.io>`_.
