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. Install the Android plugin for Eclipse. For more information, see Installing the Eclipse Plugin.
3. Open the project in your Eclipse IDE.
4. Click Import and select Existing project to workspace wizard to import the project.
5. Click Import and select Existing Android Code to workspace, to import the ActionBarSherlock project from the <ANDROID_EMM_AGENT>/Plugins/ActionBarSherlock/library/ directory, to the same workspace.  
6. Check whether the library is linked to the MDMAgent <ANDROID_EMM_AGENT> 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.

7. Clean and build ActionBarSherlock library project.

8. 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.agent.utils package: SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT and SERVER_PROTOCOL.

   Info
   If the SSL certificate is self signed, use the CA certificate PEM file that is generated for iOS to create a BKS file that is compatible with Android. Rename the BKS file to emm_truststore.bks and add it inside your Android project’s res/raw/ directory, replacing the sample provided. The BKS file password needs to be added as the value for the TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD parameter.

9. Clean and build the project.

10. Export the project as an Android application. A .apk file will be generated. This file needs to be added to the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/emm/client_apps/ directory.

    Note
    When exporting the APK, you can leave the application unsigned or you can

    be added anywhere

    opt to sign the application with a valid key. Unsigned applications cannot be installed on a non-rooted Android phone. Therefore, in a production environment it is recommended to sign the the Android application with a valid key. For more information, see Signing Your Applications from Eclipse with ADT.

    Info
    There is a sample application named emm-agent-android.apk in the <EMM_HOME>

    folder

    /repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/emm/client_apps/ directory.

11. Add the path of the .apk file as the Android location in the config.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/emm/config/ directory.
