alloy

CLI Toolbelt for Titanium Mobile development on Mac OS X.

• Mac OS X 10.7
• Titanium Studio 2.0
• Ruby 1.9.3
• CoffeeScript

$ cd /path/to/titanium-workspace/HelloWorld
$ alloy init
      create  alloy.json

You should place *.coffee files under the directory named app.

$ mkdir app
$ echo "Ti.API.console 'Hello'" > app/hello.coffee

Then, run coffee task.

$ alloy coffee
Compiling CoffeeScript
Successfully compiled CoffeeScript

JavaScript files generated under the Resources directory.

$ cat Resources/hello.js
// Generated by CoffeeScript 1.3.1

Ti.API.console('Hello');

Run clean task to clean up intermediate files (build/iphone/* or build/android/*).

$ alloy clean iphone
$ alloy clean android

$ alloy build iphone

Before using alloy, you need to create and setup a AVD (Android Virtual Devices) for rapid development process.

1. Launch Android SDK Manager. Install SDK Platform and Google APIs of any Android versions (at least greater than Android 2.2)`

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/android &
   

2. Check what Android target availables

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/android list targets
   Available Android targets:
   ----------
   id: 1 or "android-15"
        Name: Android 4.0.3
        Type: Platform
        API level: 15
        Revision: 3
        Skins: HVGA, QVGA, WQVGA400, WQVGA432, WSVGA, WVGA800 (default), WVGA854, WXGA720, WXGA800
        ABIs : armeabi-v7a, x86
   ----------
   id: 2 or "Google Inc.:Google APIs:15"
        Name: Google APIs
        Type: Add-On
        Vendor: Google Inc.
        Revision: 2
        Description: Android + Google APIs
        Based on Android 4.0.3 (API level 15)
        Libraries:
         * com.google.android.media.effects (effects.jar)
             Collection of video effects
         * com.android.future.usb.accessory (usb.jar)
             API for USB Accessories
         * com.google.android.maps (maps.jar)
             API for Google Maps
        Skins: WVGA854, WQVGA400, WSVGA, WXGA720, HVGA, WQVGA432, WVGA800 (default), QVGA, WXGA800
        ABIs : armeabi-v7a
   

3. Create a new AVD

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/android create avd \
     -n my_android-4.0.3 \
     -t 1 \
     --abi armeabi-v7a \
     --skin WVGA800
   

   my_android-4.0.3 is AVD name, 1 is ID of Android target.

   AVD created under ~/.android/avd.

   $ ls -la ~/.android/avd
   total 8
   drwxr-xr-x  4 juno  staff  136  6  1 00:56 .
   drwxr-xr-x  6 juno  staff  204  6  1 00:51 ..
   drwxr-xr-x  4 juno  staff  136  6  1 00:56 my_android-4.0.3.avd
   -rw-r--r--  1 juno  staff   69  6  1 00:56 my_android-4.0.3.ini
   
   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/android list avd
   Available Android Virtual Devices:
       Name: my_android-4.0.3
       Path: /Users/juno/.android/avd/my_android-4.0.3.avd
     Target: Android 4.0.3 (API level 15)
        ABI: armeabi-v7a
       Skin: WVGA800
   

   Yay!

4. Enable SD Card support to install application

   $ echo "sdcard.size=256M" >> ~/.android/avd/my_android-4.0.3.avd/config.ini
   

1. Start adb server

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/platform-tools/adb start-server
   

2. Launch Android emulator

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/emulator -avd my_android-4.0.3
   

   After Android launch, emulator instance appears as a device.

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/platform-tools/adb devices
   List of devices attached
   emulator-5554   device
   

$ alloy build android

1. Exit Android emulator app

2. Kill adb server

   $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME/platform-tools/adb kill-server
   

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
