PhoneGap Android Developer Tools
---

The PhoneGap developer tooling is split between general tooling and project level tooling. 

General Commands

    ./bin/create [path package activity] ... create the ./example app or a phonegap android project
    ./bin/bench ............................ generate a bench proj
    ./bin/autotest ......................... test the cli tools
    ./bin/test ............................. run mobile-spec

Project Commands

These commands live in a generated PhoneGap Android project.

    ./phonegap/debug [path] ..................... install to first device
    ./phonegap/emulate .......................... start avd (emulator) named default
    ./phonegap/log .............................. starts logcat

Running the Example Project
---

Start avd (emulator) named `default`:

    ./bin/emulate

Create the example project and build it to the first device:

    ./bin/create
    cd example
    ./phonegap/debug

Start adb logcat (console.log calls output here):

    ./phonegap/log

Running the [callback/callback-test](http://github.com/callback/callback-test) tests:
---

    ./bin/test

Creating a new PhoneGap Android Project
---

    ./bin/create ~/Desktop/myapp com.phonegap.special MyApp

Importing a PhoneGap Android Project into Eclipse
----

1. File > New > Project...
2. Android > Android Project
3. Create project from existing source (point to the generated app found in tmp/android)
4. Right click on libs/phonegap.jar and add to build path
5. Right click on the project root: Run as > Run Configurations
6. Click on the Target tab and select Manual (this way you can choose the emulator or device to build to)
