tutor-android 12.0.0

android plugin for Tutor

This is a plugin to easily build an Android mobile application for your Open edX instance.

Installation

pip install tutor-android

Usage

Enable the plugin:

tutor plugins enable android

To build the application in debug mode, run:

tutor android build debug

The .apk file will then be available in $(tutor config printroot)/data/android. Transfer it to an Android phone to install the application. You should be able to sign in and view available courses.

Building a custom Android app

The Android app is built from the official edx-app-android repository. To change this repository or the app version, you can simply build a different docker image with:

tutor images build \
    --build-arg ANDROID_APP_REPOSITORY=https://github.com/mycustomfork/edx-app-android \
    --build-arg ANDROID_APP_VERSION=master \
    android

Releasing an Android app

Note: this is an untested feature.

Releasing an Android app on the Play Store requires to build the app in release mode. To do so, edit the $TUTOR_ROOT/config.yml configuration file and define the following variables:

ANDROID_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
ANDROID_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD
ANDROID_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS

Then, place your keystore file in $(tutor config printroot)/env/plugins/android/apps/app.keystore. Finally, build the application with:

tutor android build release

Customising the Android app

Customising the application, such as the logo or the background image, is currently not supported. If you are interested by this feature, please tell us about it in the Tutor discussion forums.
