The easiest way is to install the Expyriment Android Runtime on you Android device is to download and install the latest release of our [Android application package] (https://github.com/expyriment/expyriment-android-runtime/releases).
You can build the Expyriment Android Runtime yourself as describe below:
- Installed the JAVA JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
- Download PGS4A (version 0.94) from http://pygame.renpy.org/dl
- Run
./android.py installsdk
- Copy the folder 'expyriment_app' inside the PGS4A folder
- Download the latest Expyriment release (zip file) from http://www.expyriment.org/getit
- Extract only the 'expyriment' subfolder into the 'expyriment_app' folder
- Run
./android.py configure expyriment_app
- Run
./android-sdk/tools/android
and install the API vesion 8 (Android 2.2) (you might need to install any pending updates first) - Run
./android.py build expyriment_app release
- The resulting apk file will be available in the bin/ directory
Alternative, you can use the makefile: make configure
(step 2 to 8) and make build
(step 9).
Once installed, the application will look for Expyriment scripts (each in its own subdirectory) in a directory called ‘expyriment’, located at the root level of either storage device under ‘mnt’ (i.e. the internal or external SD card). Examples of correctly located Expyriment scripts include:
/mnt/sdcard0/expyriment/exp1/exp1.py
/mnt/sdcard0/expyriment/exp2/exp2.py
/mnt/extSdCard/expyriment/exp3/exp3.py
/mnt/extSdCard/expyriment/exp4/exp4.py
