Setting up your Environment

This page will guide through the setup of your development environment

Install Android Studio

Install the latest Version of Android studio from here (version 2.2 and above is supported)

Verify build tools and platform tools version 28 (or higher) are installed

New to Android?

For new Android developers, follow the android studio developer guide

Connecting your Raptor

Raptor can be connected to your computer via MicroUSB connector, similar to a standard Android phone

For developing, the adb on your Raptor needs to be enabled. You should have it enabled out of the box or you should have a certificate in order to enable it on your Raptor

Installing your Certificate

When you receive your certificate you should:

  1. Connect your Raptor to the PC via Micro USB cable
  2. From your PC, Locate the [Raptor Path]/Other/system folder on your Raptor
  3. Place your certificate file within the above folder
  4. Reboot your Raptor

MAC OS users should use MTP browser for viewing the Raptor file system. There are many tools available, for example Android File Transfer

Note: The certification file is generated per Raptor and will work on your Raptor only

Running adb on your PC

First, you have to install adb. It comes out of the box when installing Android Studio. Overview about adb can be found here

Windows users should install a dedicated driver for communicating with Raptor via adb:

  1. Download Raptor drive for windows
  2. Extract the zip file
  3. Right click on the 'android_winusb.inf' file and click 'install' (you may need administrator privileges)

RDK Files

Our RDK Repository is hosted in GitHub, and currently is private and accessible for permitted developers only

In order to use our RDK you should have a GitHub account and we should give you privileges to the repository

After registering GitHub, you should:

  • Clone the RDK repository to your local computer from here
  • Open the 'samples' project using Android Studio
  • Explore the samples, install them on your glasses (you may modify the samples)

Samples

In the RDK Repository you'll find many examples; some are simple, some are more advanced

The samples demonstrate how to use our RDK libraries and their exposed API

Examples are added and modified continuously to help developers find solutions for their applications beyond the standard Android solutions that are out there
