Improvements to build.sh for better debugging

[meanderix]

Hi,

Thought I'd share my slightly modified version of build.sh, which has some improvements:

• It extracts the proper package name from the XML manifest;
• It clears the log file (so that you avoid dumping many pages of useless info);
• It automatically starts the app using "adb shell am start";
• It adds a filter to logcat so that we capture (mostly) the messages related to our app.

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. #!/bin/bash
2. # get package name from XML manifest
3. PACKAGENAME=`xmllint --xpath "string(/manifest/@package)" AndroidManifest.xml`
4. # build .apk file in bin folder
5. ant debug
6. # uninstall previous version of app
7. adb uninstall $PACKAGENAME
8. # install new version
9. adb install bin/LCLExample-debug.apk
10. # clear log file
11. adb logcat -c
12. # start app
13. adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n $PACKAGENAME/.LCLActivity
14. # capture only debug messages that are related to our app
15. adb logcat lclapp,DEBUG,dalvikvm:I *:S
16.
