The support libraries expect to be using the gradle plugin version 0.10.0.
We are currently on version 1.0.0. They use APIs in their build script which
have moved or been removed, and so the build just breaks when we run it with
the 1.0.0 plugin. I tried some magic to make it work in various ways, but
kept failing. As such, I've reverted the `gradle -PsourceDeps` build to not
build the support libraries from source. In the future, we should be able to
change this if they change the plugin version to a more recent one.
Note that the ant build script still hasn't been modified, and so will be
using the binary support-v4 library, but should build appcompat-v7 from source.
Was going to bump to Support v21, however there is some behaviour change which
causes a crash. They have removed the progress view from the toolbar/actionbar.
This breaks the AppDetails activity. As such, I'll leave that for the future.
For now, there will be a slight difference between building with
ant (which uses support v-almost-21) and gradle (which uses v20).
This will stay the case until we get around to completely porting
the app to v21, and fixing any bugs or UI sadness that arises.
This makes this script more likely to run on various setups, since it does
three checks for finding where the `android` utility is:
1. is it in the PATH already?
2. is ANDROID_HOME set?
3. does ~/.android/bashrc exist?
This also copies ~/.android/ant.properties into the project for anyone who
wants to setup automated tests of `ant release` builds.
