# Setting up your System
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

# It's easier if you have the Android SDK in your PATH.
# You can accomplish this by adding the following line
# to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile.
# Your Android SDK path and name be slightly different.

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/android-sdk-mac/tools/

# Setting up a new Project
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

# Change into an existing PhoneGap-Android project.
# I use the PhoneGap-Android sample to create new projects.

cd existing/android/project

# List your installed Android SDK targets
# You will want to update the project to
# build to one or more of these SDKs

android list targets

# The output will be similar to:
#
# Available Android targets:
# id: 1 or "android-8"
#      Name: Android 2.2
#      Type: Platform
#      API level: 8
#      Revision: 2
#      Skins: HVGA, QVGA, WQVGA400, WQVGA432, WVGA800 (default), WVGA854
# id: 2 or "android-12"
#      Name: Android 3.1
#      Type: Platform
#      API level: 12
#      Revision: 3
#      Skins: WXGA (default)

# Update your project to build to at least one
# of these SDKs. Below, I target the Android 2.2
# SDK (id: 1).

android update project -p . -t 1

# Building and Running your Project
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

# First, you will need to connect your Android device
# or launch a simulator. Below, I show how to launch
# the simulator from the command-line

android

# Create a new Android Virtual Device (AVD) or select
# an existing one and click "Start..." on the right-side.

# Once the simulator has booted (or device is connected)
# you can install your application

ant debug install

# Debug will sign the application with debug key. If you have
# setup a release key, then you can run `ant release install`

Hey,

Glad to hear that it helped!

Including plugins with the above steps should not be a problem. You can place the Java files in existing/android/project/src and the JavaScript in existing/android/project/assets/www. You plugin will then be built into the Android project.
