As some may be aware, I have been putting some of my efforts towards becoming an android developer. As a .Net developer, I absolutely loathe Eclipse, which is the Google preferred IDE. The good folks at
JetBrains have updated their
IntelliJ IDEA IDE about a year ago to work natively with the Android SDK. As a .Net developer, this is awesome!
Anyway, one of the struggles I have had is getting my Android APK to use the proguard configuration from IntelliJ, which kind of isn't good since it's use is recommended prior to deploying an application. Well... today I figured out how to make this whole thing work.
Step 1: Update local.properties
My build script kept failing because the SDK path was wrong. I use Linux as my principal Android developer machine, and the path in local.properties was incorrect. It was basically missing an x in the path, but once I updated it, it worked like a charm.
