Hi all,
I am starting this thread for my XWiki Android Platform Project.
Please check whether following are OK.
[1] INFO
I tried to start my new modules with the de.akquinet.android.archetypes:
android-quickstart:1.0.8. (added eclipse plugins m2e,
m2e-android[a.k.a *Android
Configurator* ]). But this seems buggy in eclipse.
Any way the earlier project has not followed the above archtype either. So
I am going to write pom.xml manually for my each module.
[2] ADVICE NEEDED
xwiki-rest-model module contains 2 submodules
|-- xwiki-rest-model-gson ( gson should be corrected to json)
No the g is not a mistake, it's a model to be used with the gson
library (http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/). See
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Google+Android+Client#….
|-- xwiki-rest-model-simplexml
I think the xwiki-rest-model-gson is redundant. The classes
in xwiki-rest-model-simplexml is added with simple xml annotations,
otherwise both modules have same classes. There is no problem with the
added annotations for using the same model objects for Json REST web
services. And I intend to add my JPA (ORMLite library for persistence)
annotations on top of it.
Shall I re-factor them to a single module xwiki-rest-model.
No keep them separated, the idea is that both are useful tool to be
used by someone else that might be moved to xwiki-platform at some
point along with the current xwiki-rest-model (to be renamed to
xwiki-rest-model-jaxb).
Chamika initially started with gson and since XWiki REST JSON
representation had some limitation he moved to XML representation.
Maybe at some point Android will have native support for jaxb which
would obviously be the easier for us (embedding jaxb is not an option
in mobile world where size it still pretty important especially on
phones). Maybe it's already the case on most recent versions like 4.0
I don't know.
[3] INFO
I had to change some pom.xml s. As the current project at:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client.git does not build. Error
with parent pom.xml coordinates.
You probably did not setup you maven install properly since what's on
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client.git build perfectly as
you can see on http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/xwiki-android-client/
which run a build every time something changes on the git repository..
You should look at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building.
Thank you
Best Regards.
