## Making a brand new module

1. Until this SDK is published, you should run this from the root directory of the
SDK `./gradlew install`
1. This will push artifacts to a mavenLocal repository that can be used in external projects on
the same host
2. Copy or work with the contents
in [standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModule](../../../standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModule) (
Java)
or [standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModuleKT](../../../standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModuleKT) (
Kotlin)
1. Note: Due to locally installing, you'll notice `mavenLocal` added to every repositories
configuration block. This will not be needed in the future.
2. `module.mainEntryClass` must be set and reflects the main class that has an entry point (
i.e. `public static void main`)
3. The next command depends on if you are wanting to use a local module or registry
* For local
1. `./gradlew pushModuleAdbDebug`
* This will push files to your selected AVD and you can use the following local module
in your machine config:
```json
{
"name": "android-module",
"executable_path": "/sdcard/Download/mod.sh",
"type": "local"
}
```
* For registry
1. `./gradlew copyModuleRelease --into </some/path>`
2. Use the CLI to package the contents of `/some/path` where `mod.sh` is the executable
and `module.jar` is the only additional file to be tarballed up.
4. The component to add will be a generic component with model `viam:generic:mygeneric`
Copy or work with the contents in [standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModule](../../../standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModule)
(Java) or [standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModuleKT](../../../standalone-examples/SimpleAndroidModuleKT) (Kotlin).

In the module/build.gradle file, set `module.mainEntryClass` to the fully qualified class name of your main class.

## Running your module on a machine

For **local development**, i.e. testing your module without uploading to the registry, run:

```sh
./gradlew pushModuleAdbDebug
```

This will push files to the active device or emulator in adb. Then add this to the modules array in your json config:

```json
{
"name": "android-module",
"executable_path": "/sdcard/Download/FOLDER_NAME/module.tar.gz",
"type": "local"
}
```

Then add a local generic component from the builder with model `viam:generic:mygeneric`.

`FOLDER_NAME` is the root folder of your module, for example `SimpleAndroidModule` or `SimpleAndroidModuleKT` if you're starting from the examples.

For **registry upload**, run:

```sh
./gradlew tarModuleRelease
```

That should create a tarball suitable for upload at `./module/build/outputs/module/release/module.tar.gz`.

## Building this example

1. From the root directory of the SDK,
run: `./gradlew :android:examples:viam-android-sdk-examples-module:build`
2. The next command depends on if you are wanting to use a local module or registry
* For local
1. `./gradlew :android:examples:viam-android-sdk-examples-module:pushModuleAdbDebug`
* This will push files to your selected AVD and you can use the following local module
in your machine config:
```json
{
"name": "android-module",
"executable_path": "/sdcard/Download/mod.sh",
"type": "local"
}
```
* For registry
1. `./gradlew :android:examples:viam-android-sdk-examples-module:copyModuleRelease --into </some/path>`
2. Use the CLI to package the contents of `/some/path` where `mod.sh` is the executable
and `module.jar` is the only additional file to be tarballed up.
3. The component to add will be a generic component with model `viam:generic:mygeneric`
From the root directory of the SDK, run:
```sh
./gradlew :android:examples:viam-android-sdk-examples-module:build
```

The next command depends on whether you are installing as a local module or uploading to registry.

For **local**, run:

```sh
./gradlew :android:examples:viam-android-sdk-examples-module:pushModuleAdbDebug
```

Then add a json module and generic component as above in the 'brand new module' instructions. `FOLDER_NAME` in the json will be `viam-java-sdk`.

For **registry**, run:

```sh
./gradlew :android:examples:viam-android-sdk-examples-module:tarModuleRelease
```

That will put your module tarball in `./android/examples/module/build/outputs/module/release/module.tar.gz`.
