angularjs-cordova-desktop-box

A Lubuntu based vagrant box provisioned with the cordova development environment for the android platform. All you have to do is to clone the repository, fire vagrant up and add your android device to VirtualBox. After that you are ready to begin your cordova project.

This box is configured to work with the yeoman generator generator-angularjs-cordova and adds the tools required to generate a skeleton project.

Installation

1) Download and install the box

1. install vagrant http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html
2. run git clone https://github.com/jonaseck2/angularjs-cordova-box.git
3. run cd angularjs-cordova-box
4. run vagrant up

Note for Windows hosts:

npm commands on shared folders do not work, even with symlink support or --no-bin-links. Currently the only workaround is to install npm in windows and run the commands on the windows host. Copying or cloning the generated project to a windows share and running npm install works fine.

2) Configure your device on the box

0. Plug the device
1. VirtualBox -> angularjs-cordova-box -> Settings -> Ports -> USB -> Add Filter -> (Select your android device)
2. (your device) Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging (remark if it alreday marked)
3. (your device) A prompt to allow the virtual machine will appear. Click ok.
4. Plug and unplug the USB device.
5. (vagrant) run adb devices. You now should see your device on the list.

In order to resolve the ?????? no permissions problem:

• sudo -s
• adb kill-server
• adb start-server
• adb devices

3) Create and run your generator-angularjs-cordova project

1. run vagrant ssh
2. run cd /vagrant
3. run cordova create folder-name -n ProjectName
4. run cd folder-name
5. run yo angularjs-cordova
6. run sed -i -e s/localhost/0.0.0.0/' Gruntfile.js To host a development web server:
7. run grunt serve To emulate on device:
8. run cordova build
9. run cordova emulate android That's it.

4) Build Android APK

2. run cordova build android
   The apk file is created in `platform/android/<project name>.apk
