Listless is a basic Android application for creating and managing simple lists of tasks. Although there are plans to add the functionality, there is currently no ordering of the lists or status of individual items on lists. Yes, it is that limited. Plus, I did the icons myself ... so that probably gives you some indication of how high the quality is.
listless depends on the thedroid project. It expects to find it locally when generating the ant build for the mobile device. The relative location of the thedroid library is specified in the file ant.properties.
# Note, you will need to change this to the location of the thedroid library on your system relative to this file.
android.library.reference.1=../libs/thedroid
Installing listless requires the Android SDK with the android executable on the path. Inside your listless checkout directory, type:
android update project --path .
This will generate the local.properties and proguard configuration required. The android update project command also provides you with other project configuration options, such as the target Android OS. For a full list of configuration options, consult the Android Developer Documentation.
listless has been written to operate on any 2.2 OS of Android (Froyo). However, it is possible to build listless for a different target OS. As mentioned above, using android update project is the approach to specify the target OS. In order to see a list of OS that your Android tools currently support, type:
android list targets
The output of this will provide each supported OS with an id. This id should be specified as the value for the --target parameter in the android update project command. E.g.
android update project --path . --target android-8
If you have correctly linked to the thedroid library as shown above and configured your project correctly, then installation 'should' proceed. Installation and deployment to your system (connected device or running emulator) is achieved through the ant build tools. Specifically:
ant debug install
Generating a build requires all involved projects to have a valid build script. If this is not the case, you will commonly see this error:
sdk.dir is missing. Make sure to generate local.properties using 'android update project' or to inject it through an env var
This error can occur for either listless itself, or any dependent projects (such as thedroid). As the error message suggests, the solution is to execute android update project with the relevant parameters for the problem project. A full guide to updating projects via the command line can be found here.
