How to get buildable android app out of AOSP source - android

I try to make a own Dialer-App, to get some basic functions to work I try to get the original Dailer from the AndroidOpenSourceProject up to running. I pulled the code from AOPS Dialer master and open it in Android Studio. It told me it detects 103 Manifest files but the project could not build.
As I understand this projects need to be builded into a ROM and not to be builded with the SDK. Is there anyway how I can get this project to be builded with Android Studio and run it on a device/emulator?

Can I Port a game written With SFML and c++ to android

So , I created an Empty c++ Project In Visual Studio 2019 And Linked The Libraries Non-Staticly
(That Means I Just The Placed The dll's in The Qutput Directory) And Then Closed VIsual Studio And Switched To VSCode And Now I Build The Project Using Devloper Cmd(Of Visual Studio Of Course) and MSBuild I Use SFML To Make The Project And Now Want To Port It Over To Android (Or IOS Or Both Anything Will Work)
Is There Any Way That This Can Happen ? Please Ask Me If You Want Any Other Information
You should install the Mobile Development with C++ package in the Visual Studio Installer. Create a new C++ project using the template Native-Activity Application (Android).
Trying to convert one project type to another is pointless and a waste of your time. However, your old source code can be included in the new project using the various right click actions.

Load AOSP Application to Android Studio

I found a few questions asking how to get the source code from the AOSP running in Android Studio. However, I could not find any explanation on how to import only a single application of the AOSP.
I am trying to do it for the Dialer application which can be found here. However, I had only minor success, I was able to import the code as a project, but didn't manage to set up dependencies and required libraries and all that.
Can anybody tell me if it is possible, and if so, how this is done?
UPDATE:
It seems impossible to achieve this with the code that i found and which was part of the full android distribution of google. But google decided to distribute the Dialer application just like any other application via the playStore. So there should be a possibility to find this code, IF it is also running under the open source project.
You can only open the whole AOSP inside Android Studio.
After you finish building the source do make idegen && development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh inside your root folder and then open the new android.ipr in your root via Android Studio.
AOSP code you are looking is not Android Studio compatible, It's an Eclipse project.

Anyone know how I can run an android sample app?

I'm fairly new to android development using Android Studio. The examples online say to build with Gradle. I choose Gradle when importing the project but then I get an error saying that it is not a Gradle based project. Does anyone know how I can get over this to run it on my phone?
Pick a sample project to import that has build.gradle file in BOTH the app module directory AND the project root directory.
Strongly recommend rather than importing an existing project, you create a new one from scratch yourself, following along with a tutorial.
Here's a really good first tutorial for Android Studio which is recent (August, 2014) as of this question, so it will all be relevant to the current version of Android Studio.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/801078/Hello-Android-The-Hello-World-Application
As far as getting the app onto your phone you can either (a) plug in the USB cable from the phone to your PC and run from Android Studio, or (b) email the app's APK file as an attachment to any email address you check on your phone (such as gmail for example). For the email method, you also need to change a security option to allow apps from unknown sources.

How to build and deploy a phonegap app from within Android Studio without eclipse

I'm still struggling away with how to deploy my app directly to my phone via command-line. But when I used eclipse I could easily deploy and build directly to my device.
But android studio is meant to be all in one development software.
So far all I have been able to is either create a new project, unsuccessfully or try and import my phonegap project which then only displays:
So nothing really has been imported. In my mind I'm going to have to get eclipse back up and running, which seems counter productive.
All I'd like to be able to do is, work from within android studio and deploy the complied app, again from within android studio directly to my phone.
I am using Android Studio and it's pretty complete. You can very easily import any PhoneGap project. You just have to open Android Studio, Use import and follow the instructions. From there you can sign your apk and other tasks.
It is really easy to work with PhoneGap and Android Studio. Here is what I am doing:
Creating Phonegap project: phonegap create testproject com.testproject.name Name;
Enter Project directory: testproject;
Add Android platform: phonegap build android;
You have your phonegap project ready. Now open Android Studio. Select Import project and follow instructions. If you don't have any plugins added in your project it's preaty pushing NEXT till you get to the end.
That's all. If you need more information tell me will be happy to help you. Have in mind that as for phonegap <3.0 you had to import android sub directory of your phonegap progect, as for phonegap 3.0+ you include the main directory. In the example above will be directory TESTPROJECT, not /testproject/platform/android/ ...
If you prefer snapshot you can find a very easy to follow tutorial here: Phonegap and Android studio
I'm using 0.5.4 Android Studio on Mac OS and not sure about Windows one.
Select [Build] then [Generate Signed APK] from drop down menu.
Please make sure you set android:debuggable to "false" in AndroidManifest.xml.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#string/AppTheme"
android:debuggable="false"
>
</application>

Import and run a Phonegap 3.0 project with Intellij IDEA 12/13?

Just starting with Phonegap and having some trouble understanding the directory structure and setup (on Windows).
I have been able to install and setup phonegap, jdk, android sdk, ant, etc. Using the command line I can now create a new project, edit the source files in www , build it and run it on my phone, Android Emulator and even Genymotion .
But the one thing that I just can not seem to understand is how I could edit and run the Phonegap project from within Intellij IDEA. All examples and how-tos I can find use the older Phonegap 2.9 structure, which is quite different from 3.0.
I enabled and configured all plugins, etc. I then try to import the existing project folder as a new project in IDEA, but it says "Source files for your project not found".
But when I build the project first with phonegap build android using the CLI, and then try to import it in IDEA, source files are found and I can continue the import of the project. But the Project Structure then seems to point to source files in platforms/android (platforms/android itself and also platforms/android/gen and platforms/android/src , I have no idea what to choose, so I choose all). I then click Next a couple of times until the Android project is created. After changing Project Language Level to 5 (no idea what this means) , I can now run the project from within IDEA.
But... changes that I make in www (in the root) don't end up in the compiled project!
So do I have to copy all files manually to platforms/android/assets then ? (the command line phonegap builder did not require this). Or do I have to edit the files in platforms/android/assets/www directly ? (which seems odd, since I would like to be able to only maintain the same code for all different platforms).
What do I need to do to achieve this in IDEA?
Somehow I think some things in Project Structure are wrong, but I have no idea what all this means (Modules, Libraries, Facets....).
Where should the manifest file be located, and the resources, and assets and libs?!
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
After phonegap create & build , there is a whole Android project located in %my_project_root%\platform\android
if you don't have the Android SDK at left, use the green icon to add one.
That's all
We don't need to modify manually the code under %my_project_root%/platforms/* but only under the %my_project_root%/www/* and %my_project_root%/merges/*
After running
phonegap build android
it automatically replaces platform specified code.
I found solution for me the next way:
After importing source code to IDEA, I added new web module which points to the %my_project_root% to be able to see all needed directories.
Also I created new IDEA command line tool with alias phonegap and tool path /usr/local/share/npm/bin/phonegap.
So before running default android running configuration I run phonegap build android just directly from IDEA (I think it's more convenient) and then run usual android run command to deploy the app to emulator or real device.
I hope this stuff will help you.
