How to install Android plugin version 1.x into NetBeans
Check our blog for updates.
Install using autoupdate center
The simplest way how to install nbandroid modules and keep them updated is to register an autoupdate center in your NetBeans installation. Address of this update center is http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/downloads/download/updatecenter/updates.xml. To register this update center, simply go to Tools -> Plugins. Then follow this sequence of screenshots to register nbandroid update center and install plugin:
- In Settings tab press Add button and fill name and URL:
- In Available Plugins tab enter android in Search text field, check found plugin.
- Check also appropriate version of Android Test Runner plugin. (See below for more details on this topic).
- Press Install
- Press Next
- Accept the license
- Press Continue (and ignore warning about unsigned plugin for now)
- You're done, you can start Android development...
Install from downloadable ZIP archive
- Look for new NBMs (module archives) in our download area
- Unzip them.
- Go to Tools | Plugins | Downloaded
- Click 'Add plugins...' and select all plugins except testrunners that do not match your IDE version. There are three versions of a module that provides integration with test results window targets to NetBeans 6.9 or 6.9.1 or 7.0 users. Each of them is named org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner*.nbm.
- Select org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner.nbm if you are using NetBeans 7.0 or newer.
- Select org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner691.nbm if you are using NetBeans 6.9.1.
- Select org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner69.nbm if you are using NetBeans 6.9.
- Click 'Install'. Do not forget this step. You will have to accept license then. In adittion to that you will be warned that plugins are not signed.
Install from our continuous build
If you want to get fresh bits rather than less frequently but perhaps more stable bits from our download area you can register an autoupdate center generated by nbandroid continuous build. This one is updated after each code integration that passes tests suite. Address of this update center is http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbandroid/lastStableBuild/artifact/build/updates/updates.xml. Steps to register this update center are very much the same as when registering the update center described above except the different URL. Again go to Tools -> Plugins. Then follow this sequence of screenshots to register nbandroid update center and install plugin:
- In Settings tab press Add button and fill name and URL:
- In Available Plugins tab enter android in Search text field, check found plugin.
- Check also appropriate version of Android Test Runner plugin.
- Press Install
- Press Next
- Accept the license
- Press Continue (and ignore warning about unsigned plugin for now)
- You're done, you can start Android development...
