¶ Section 4: First Complex Project
Objective
Explaining how you can download and run one complex project that uses the above advanced modules.
¶ Steps to Download and Run the Project:
¶ Download the Project Code:
If the project is hosted on a platform like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, you can download it by either cloning the repository or copying the http code.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-project-repository.git
- Open the Project in Android Studio:
- Open Android Studio.
- Select Open an existing Android Studio project and navigate to the folder where the project is saved.
- Once selected, Android Studio will load the project and sync all dependencies.
(or)
You can directly paste your http code in place of URL and run the application.
- Sync the Project with Gradle:
- Android Studio automatically runs Gradle sync, but if it doesn't, click on File > Sync Project with Gradle Files.
- Ensure the Gradle version and Android plugin version are compatible with your current Android Studio version.
- Set Up Firebase:
- If your project uses Firebase (e.g., Firebase ML Kit for object detection or real-time databases), you will need to configure it in the Firebase Console:
- Go to Firebase Console.
- Create a new project or use an existing one.
- Download the google-services.json file and place it in the app folder of your Android project.
- If your project uses Firebase (e.g., Firebase ML Kit for object detection or real-time databases), you will need to configure it in the Firebase Console:
Ensure Firebase dependencies are added in the build.gradle files:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision:24.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:20.0.5'// Add other required Firebase dependencies
- Run the App on Emulator or Device:
- Connect your Android device or start an emulator.
- Select your device from the toolbar and click Run (green play button) to build and launch the app.
Some example programs you can run on your device to understand better:
- ToDoList app - https://github.com/kollerlukas/TODOList-Android-App
