Add the Android SDK

If you downloaded the Part I project files, the libraries are already included in the download. If you are creating from scratch, you need to add the Android SDK to your project. You can download the NoServer Android SDK.

You will also need two Jackson high-performance JSON processor jar files as well:

Jackson Core

and

Jackson Mapper

After you download these, you will find a set of jar files that you can add to your applications. Move these files to a directory that you keep your Java libraries in.

Then, in Eclipse, we do the following to add the FatFractal libraries to the hoodyoodoo app:

  1. In the Project Explorer, select your project root module.
  2. If there is no "libs" folder, click on File > New > Folder and add a libs folder with "hoodyoodoo" as the parent folder.
  3. Drag and drop the FF-Android-SDK-1.0.jar, jackson-core-asl-1-1.9.6.jar and jackson-mapper-asl-1-1.9.6.jar files onto the libs folder.

When prompted, you can choose to copy the framework to the application source if you wish or refer to it from the application code which can make it easier to upgrade your applications from that common store.
