 PhoneGap Android
 =============================================================
-PhoneGap Android is an Android application library that allows
-for PhoneGap based projects to be built for the Android Platform.
+PhoneGap Android is an Android application library that allows for PhoneGap-based projects to be built for the Android Platform. PhoneGap-based applications are, at the core, an application written in web-based languages, generally HTML, CSS and JavaScript. 
 
 Pre-requisites
 -------------------------------------------------------------
   * Java JDK 1.5
   * Android SDK Package [http://developer.android.com](http://developer.android.com)
   * Apache ANT (For build script)
+  * Ruby, Rubygems, nokogiri (for build.rb)
 
 Recommended:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
-  * Ruby, Rubygems (for build.rb)
   * Eclipse (Recommended for back-end debugging, not required)
 
-Getting Started from Command Line
+Getting Started with PhoneGap Android
 --------------------------------------
-Step 1: cd framework && ant jar
-Step 2: In the root directory, run:
-
-ruby build.rb <app-name> <package_name> <wwwdir> <path>
-
-app-name: Name of application without spaces
-package name: Java namespace of package ( i.e. com.nitobi.demo)
-www-dir: www directory which includes an icon.png file for the icon
-path: The path you wish to put your PhoneGap Application
+1. Make sure you have Ruby and the nokogiri gem installed. Run 'gem list' to see a list of installed Ruby gems, and 'gem install nokogiri' from command-line if you don't have it.
+2. Clone the repository using git, from command line: git clone git://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-android.git
+3. Run 'cd phonegap-android/framework'
+4. Make sure you change the location of your Android SDK, this is inside the local.properties file
+5. Run 'ant jar' - this will create the phonegap.jar file and build a fresh phonegap.js for use in your HTML/JS/CSS-based application (for accessing native functionality).
+6. cd back to the root directory (cd ..)
+7. Run 'ruby build.rb <app-name> <package_name> <wwwdir> <path>', where:
+ - app-name: Name of application without spaces
+ - package name: Java namespace of package ( i.e. com.nitobi.demo). This must be unique otherwise it won't load properly on your phone
+ - www-dir: www directory which includes an icon.png file for the icon
+ - path: The path to copy the final project assets into, i.e. the final build path
+8. Now you can use the generated Android code that is located in the 'path' directory from the above step and do what you want with it: import into Eclipse to test with the simulator or otherwise.
