:coffee: Quickly try the demo project of any Android Library

dryrun

Try any android library on your smartphone directly from the command line

A dry run is a testing process where the effects of a possible failure are intentionally mitigated. For example, an aerospace company may conduct a "dry run" test of a jet's new pilot ejection seat while the jet is parked on the ground, rather than while it is in flight.

Usage

dryrun https://github.com/cesarferreira/android-helloworld

Wait a few seconds... and voilà! The app is opened on your phone 😃

Goodies

• Private repos can be tested too 😃

  • assuming that you have the corresponding private ssh keys in your ~./ssh/

  • $ dryrun [email protected]:cesarferreira/android-helloworld.git

• No need to cleanup after you test the library.

  • Your operating system will clean the /tmp/ folder for you.

• No need to wait for Android Studio to load.

Alternative scenario (if you don't use dryrun)

1. Find the github's repository url
2. Click the download zip
3. Extract the zip file
4. Open Android Studio
5. Import the project you just downloaded
6. Sync gradle
7. Run the project
8. Choose the device you want to run
9. Test all you want
10. Delete the project folder and the zip file when you don't want it anymore
