Build the Android automated build tool stream with Jenkins

Every time I packaged an application for testing, I basically just stared at my computer, because compiling Andorid APK was very performance intensive. How could a senior engineer be stumped like that, and so I began a long journey.

Tool selection

Jenkins installation & Configuration

Install Jenkins

1. Add the repo

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -
Copy the code

2. Add sources

deb https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/
Copy the code

3. The installation

Don’t say anything, just do it

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins
Copy the code

Configuration Jenkins

vim /etc/default/jenkins
Copy the code

cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

*******************************
Copy the code

Start the

/etc/init.d/jenkins start
Copy the code

Other optional command: {start | stop | status | restart | force – reload}

Then we open the browser :{your server IP address}:{the port number you changed}

Enter the initial password you just copied and you’re done.

Select the recommended plug-in to install, then set up the account password, and you are OK.

Install plug-in package

Fir. Im plug-in

The fir. Im plugin needs to be installed by yourself. See how to use the FIR

Set the tool

JDK

I installed 1.8

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
Copy the code

If you can’t find the add-apt-repository command, install the following two packages

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties
Copy the code

The directory is /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Gradle

Android-Sdk

This step is a little bit more difficult, first we go to the Android official website to find the SDK: SDK-tools-linux-3859397.zip

Then download it on the server:

# sudo apt-get install wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-3859397.zipCopy the code

Unzip and move to /usr/local/android-sdk

# sudo apt-get install unzip unzip sdK-tools-linux-3859397.zip sudo mkdir /usr/local/android-sdk sudo mv tools /usr/local/android-sdkCopy the code

Install dependencies

Note: If you are running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you will need to install some 32-bit libraries using the following commands:

Sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6

If you are running the 64-bit version of Fedora, the command is:

sudo yum install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686

Update the SDK

cd tools
sudo ./android update sdk
Copy the code

After the update completes, run the following command

cd ..
cd tools/bin
sudo ./sdkmanager --update
sudo ./sdkmanager --list
Copy the code

Then install the corresponding package as required

Other SDkManager operations are available here

FFFFFFFF; # install sudo./sdkmanager "FFFFFFFF; android-26"Copy the code

Configuration tools path

JDK

The new JDK

• The JDK alias: JAVA_8
• JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
• Automatic installation: Deselect this option

Git

Global properties

• Environment variables: check
• List of key-value pairs: ANDROID_HOME:/usr/local/android-sdk

At this point, all of Jenkins’ attributes are configured.

project

New project

1. Create projects

2. Fill in the project information

general

Source code management

Source management select Git, fill in the Repository URL on Github, add your Github account and select Master

Build trigger

Build environment

You can set it as you want, I didn’t ask for it so I skipped it

build

Post-build operation

1. Upload fir. Im

2. Email notification

We use the Email Extension Plugin here

Forget about the installation and initial setup and just add the final content

• Project Recipient List: To add the email recipient’s email address, use.separated
• Content Type: HTML
• Default Subject: $PROJECT_NAME - Build # $BUILD_NUMBER - $BUILD_STATUS!
• Default Content:

$PROJECT_NAME<br/> Git revision: $GIT_REVISION<br/> # $BUILD_NUMBER < br / > build status: $BUILD_STATUS < br / > build address: < a href = "$BUILD_URL" > $BUILD_URL < / a > < br / >Copy the code

• Attach Build Log: Compress and Attach Build Log

Trigger a build

A little extra help

If the gradle wrapper download process is particularly slow, you can download the gradle executable file on the local computer and upload it to the server using SFTP

Then move you downloaded zip file/var/lib/Jenkins /. Gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle – {version_number} – all / {strange_strings}, cancel the ongoing build, again
