[aerogear-dev] AeroGear Android Root Document

Wed Dec 18 04:57:13 EST 2013

Well, the AG Lib is a maven project so for build it you have only one
option: Maven. We’ll start ship AG lib in 2 diferents formats

   - apklib<https://developer.android.com/tools/projects/index.html#LibraryProjects>to
using in your maven project
   - aar <http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide>(as
experimental) to using in your gradle project

In your build instruction since you're mentioning Gradle in the Usage
section and not any more in the Build section, I think it will be nice to
add a note saying about Gradle usage and how it is supported (or not) in
AG.

Format looks good to me. Table of demo apps +1

similar with iOS-cookbook. One central readme [1] which list all recipes.
Each recipes [2] has is own documentation following the same template. We
ca work on unifying the template. I like prerequisites section,
install/build section common to both, you miss a short description of the
app and some ui flow with pictures would be nice and then a last sec ion we
we explain the main fatures we want ot demo.

like iOS, because for Android we have only one cookbook app. This
application has all our features. For each feature we have one activity
(screen). This makes the explanation very simple and focus on this feature.
Each activity (screens) explain one feature and each feature has a usage
guide on the ag.org (http://aerogear.org/docs/guides/aerogear-android/))
