Eclipse

Eclipse is a widely used and very flexible IDE to make coding more efficient. Of course, it can be used for developing Navit:

Install

We will combine the usual CMake environment, which is used to configure the Navit build process and

• Check navit's dependencies and install necessary native tools and libraries
• Install newest Eclipse with your package manager or manually
• Start Eclipse and install the following extensions (Help -> Install software):
  • CDT
  • autotools
  • Subservice SVN read more

Setup project

• Start a new project, pick import SVN
  • svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/navit/code/trunk/navit
• Select C/C++ project
• Choose now GNU Autotools(if there is nothing under toolchains install autotools(autoconf,automake/gettext) via your os packagemanager)
• Open a terminal, switch to your workspace navit folder and invoke "cmake ./"
  • you now have makefile that matches your local setup
• In Eclipse, pick "build all" and you should get a binary
• Run as application and you your local build should start

Doing Navit/Android development with Eclipse INCOMPLETE

This guide assumes you already have the source downloaded locally, and have already built a package for Android using CMake (see Linux development).

• Download Eclipse
  • http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
  • Eclipse Classic is fine

• Install Eclipse
  • Unzip to directory of your choice
  • Start Eclipse by going into your eclipse folder, and running eclipse
  • Setup a new workspace when prompted

• Setup JDT plug-in
  • Help -> Install new software
  • Work with: from the dropdown box, select Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
  • Wait!
  • Select Eclipse Java Development Tools
  • Next
  • Finish
  • Restart

• Install ADT plugin
  • Use Google's instructions at http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#downloading
  • Then follow the instructions at http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#configuring

• Import Navit
  • File -> New -> Project...
  • Android -> Android Project
  • Next
  • Project Name: -> NavitProject
  • Create project from existing source
  • Location: browse to the directory navit/android/ within your cmake build directory.
  • Next
  • Build Target -> check Android 2.2
  • Next
  • Finish
  • Project -> Properties
  • Java Build Path from left hand window
  • Libraries tab
  • Add JARs
  • NavitProject -> libs -> TTS_library_stub.jar. OK
  • Java Compiler from left hand window
  • Apply on message window
  • Compiler compliance level: -> 1.6
  • OK
  • Yes

And then the project should be clean of errors besides the only one stating that android_layout_default.xml is not well-formed. That's sad true. That file is indeed not an xml document but a fragment of one. Do we have some setting to switch this check off? Should we rename that file?
