HOW TO BUILD SOURCE.ANDROID.COM

source.android.com contains tutorials, references, and miscellaneous information relating to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The current iteration of this site is fully static HTML (notably lacking in javascript and doxygen content), and is and/or was maintained by skyler (illustrious intern under Dan Morrill and assistant to the almighty JBQ).

Short Instructions

Run the build script, from the same directory as this file:

python scripts/build.py

This generates the directory ./out, which is the fully built site. Hoorah.

The included scripts/micro-httpd.py script is helpful for testing the site on your own machine. Running it will start up a tiny HTTP server that you can hit to test changes in a browser:

cd ./out
HTTP_PORT=8080 python ../scripts/micro-httpd.py

Markdown

Markdown is a very simple markup format for plain-text that converts it to decent HTML. Useful docs: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

Yes, it was created by John Gruber himself. BWAHAHA!

Dependencies

You need the Python markdown implementation. The original Perl impl probably will NOT work.

For (Goo|U)buntu: % sudo apt-get install python-markdown

For Mac: $ sudo easy_install ElementTree $ sudo easy_install Markdown

Contents Included in Box

Necessary source files include:

src/        individual page content in markdown format
templates/  templates for page content

and the following content which is copied directly:

assets/     stylish things that make the page look pretty
images/     exactly what it sounds like

Structure of Site Source

The build script assumes that

  • Every .md file under src/ is an individual page in markdown format.
  • Each directory under src/ is a tab of source.android.com and contains its particular sidebar. Note, the sidebar in the root of site_src/ itself is present but empty.
  • Please use .md if possible (because this will pick up the global site CSS and layout.) But the build.py script will indeed copy arbitrary files to the output dir, so it is possible to simply place .html, .pdf, and similar files to the src/ tree and they will be copied directly to ./out.

HOW TO PUSH SOURCE.ANDROID.COM TO PROD

Coming soon. For now, harass morrildl, jbq, and/or btmura.

SORDID HISTORY OF SOURCE.ANDROID.COM

Once upon a time, source.android.com used to be a site on Sites. Then it was rewritten to use the developer SDK docs, but this was hard to edit and overkill. Now it is as you see it.
