Compiling android app source code + code check - android

I'm totally newbee regarding APK and android stuff, so any suggestion is welcome.
I'm trying to install and test the source code from this link:
http://sanjosetech.blogspot.hr/2013/03/gstreamer-streaming-video-and.html
The code should load audio and video passed from RPI to my android phone.
I have RPI part ready and it's working, now i need to compile and install this updated version so i can have support for audio and video.
If i download this code directly on my phone (over my mail account), how can i compile and run it ?
Best regards !

You have to build code into APK file, using compiler, Android Studio, for example. And then transfer it to your Android device.

Follow the links below for more details on how to setup the repo (wrapper around git) and start downloading the source code.

How to execute APP downloaded from Google Play in AOSP?

I succeed AOSP build in Nexus 4 and install google apps.
Also, I tried download app from google play and succeed install.
But, When I execute that app, failed execute.
So, check the Logcat I can find 'load .so failed' error in android run time.
Why doesn't working?
Please, how can I find solution this problem?
The short answer is: You probably can't fix this yourself.
The *.so files probably are native running libraries the developer of the app used in his code.
One guess:
Android 5 is capable of 64bit now.
While the Java part of the code works automatically with 64bit, the so-files need to be prepared for it by the developer.
Another guess:
The new ART Runtime causes problems in JNI. For developers, see this: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/verifying-apps-art.html and
You should contact the developer and ask whether he checked his App on Android 5.

How to compile and run Google Contacts App in Android Emulator

Could someone please point to some tutorial on how to setup and build the Google's Contact apps which is under packages/apps/Contact and run it in Android Emulator.
I know it has lot of dependencies including the provider itself which is a separate service., and other libraries from the source folder, but what i'm trying to do is to learn the way Google has designed their contact app and use some of its techniques in my app.
Currently i debug manually !! ^-^.. its very very painful, esp following Intent Calls..
but if i were able to compile and build the Contacts app myself, and run it in emulator, i can add some easy debug messages and recompile and then trace them. Could someone please help me with this.
Thanks in advance

get android full source.
