Developer Guide
GPSTest is open-source, and you can build it from code yourself!
First, you'll need a JDK installed from the JDK Download Page.
You'll also need the Android SDK and Android Studio.
GPSTest is versioned using Git, so you can use your favorite Git client or the Android Studio to clone the repository
Here's the Github repo:
https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest.git
If you plan on submitting improvements, I suggest you fork this project (instead of cloning this repo directly) and work off of your forked repo so you can commit to your own GPSTest repository and use Github's Pull Request feature to submit improvements for review.
Please see the README for the most recent build instructions using Android Studio and Gradle.
NOTE - GPSTest v2.0.0 and higher require Google Play services SDK and Google Maps API v2, so to run the project you must use either:
- A compatible Android device that runs Android 2.2 or higher and includes Google Play Store.
- The Android emulator with an AVD that runs the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
To see map tiles when using the Google Maps v2 API under debug mode, you'll need to get your own Maps v2 API key via the Google API console and configure it for your debug key - see these instructions. You can replace the current key with your own key in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
