Why I am unable to build the Android source?

Question

Google has released Google IO 13 Android App source code.

After git clone and importing project, I got lot of issues while building, which you can find here. After passing all the issues, it now says:

Could not find HomeActivity.apk!

Here is a screenshot of my build process:

How can I build the source code?

Answer 1

The iosched 2013 application was developed with Android Studio IDE and not with Eclipse, the whole file structure is different, this is why eclipse can't find some of the project's files.

You can download the Android Studio from here: Android Studio

Answer 2

In case somebody still couldn't find IOSched 2013 for Eclipse. I have the ported version in here :

Answer 3

On my GitHub mirror, I have an eclipse branch that have the changes I mentioned in the Google Code issues page to make it work. It launch and seems to runs fine on my phone (although I didn't test much further than that).

You will need to adjust the reference to both /sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat and /google-play-services_lib library projects to match your setup before it can compile on your machine.

UPDATE 1: This commit added the appcompat and google-play-services_lib projects into the repo for easier access.

UPDATE 2: Now updated with latest version (iosched 2014).
