Follow the instructions below to configure and build the Android client application:

  1. Get a GIT clone of the Android Agent application from GitHub.
  2. Open the project in your Eclipse IDE.
  3. Click Import and select Existing project to workspace wizard to import the project.
  4. Click Import and select Existing Android Code to workspace, to import the ActionBarSherlock project from the <MDMAgent Project folder>/Plugins/ActionBarSherlock/library/ directory, to the same workspace.  
  5. Check whether the library is linked to the MDMAgent project as follows:
    • Click project properties and select Android.
    • At the bottom of the interface that appears, you will see the Library section. Verify that the ActionBarSherlock project is correctly referenced. 
    • If it is incorrectly referenced, remove the existing reference and add it again using the ActionBarSherlock library that you imported into workspace.
  6. Clean and build ActionBarSherlock library project.

    step7
    Use the CA certificate PEM file that is generated for iOS to create a BKS file, which is compatible with Android. Rename the BKS file to emm_truststore.bks  and  and add it inside your Android project’s res/raw/ directory, replacing the sample provided.

    Info

    The BKS file needs to be generated only for testing purposes.

  8. Go to the java class named CommonUtilities.java in By default, the Android agent communicates with the server through http. For production, this needs to be changed to https, by configuring the following parameters in the Java class named CommonUtilities.java, which is in the org.wso2.emm.agentagent.utils package and replace the SERVER_URL and TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD (Password used to generate the BKS file in step 7)  as seen below:

    Code Block/** * Helper class providing methods and constants common to other classes in the * app. */ public class CommonUtilities {

    SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT and SERVER_PROTOCOL.

    Info

    If the SSL certificate is self signed, then the BKS file (step 7) should be generated using the CA certificate and the BKS file password needs to be added as the value for the TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD parameter.

    			+ SERVER_PORT + SERVER_APP_ENDPOINT;
    
    	public static final String TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD = "";
    	public static final String EULA_TITLE = "POLICY AGREEMENT";
  9. Clean and build the project.
  10. Name the project emm, and export the project as an Android application. You will get an .apk file.
