Compile Android App With Javac

I have a portion of an android app that I am trying to tweak and test. So I have pulled out two files and am trying to make a quick executable for quick test-tweak-retest turnaroun

Solution 1:

But I'm having a hard time getting the javac compiler to find the Android libraries.

That would not help you anyway. Android is an operating system. It is not just a handful of Java classes. And, the Java classes that are in the android.jar files are not real implementations anyway, merely stubs that just throw a RuntimeException on every method.

Can anyone help me compile these two files into one executeable using javac?

You can't, because:

these two files... use... android.os.Environment

Instead, modify those files to remove their dependency upon Android classes, so it is just pure Java code.

Or, try Robolectric and create a unit test of those two classes using it. I cannot guarantee that your code will work (I have no idea what Robolectric's mock Environment will return for the methods you are invoking), but there's a decent chance that it will work.
