ONGOING DEV

In my previous post I wrote how to integrate an Android Github repo with Travis Ci. Now we can change something in our travis.yml , using the new Android plugin . Warning:The features described here are still in development! All the considerations described in the old post remain valid, but we can update some parts. First, declare the new language : language: android With this line, travis provides the Android SDK 22.6.2 with following preinstalled components : platform-tools android-19 sysimg-19 (ARM) android-18 sysimg-18 (ARM) android-17 sysimg-17 (ARM) android-16 sysimg-16 (ARM) android-15 sysimg-15 (ARM) android-10 extra-android-support extra-google-google_play_services extra-google-m2repository extra-android-m2repository Here you can find the updated list .
