Command Line

For developers not using Eclipse, in your terminal, change into the Skeleton/Now directory, then run the following command:
ant clean install
The Ant-based build should emit a list of steps involved in the installation process, which look like this:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 4 seconds
Note the BUILD SUCCESSFUL at the bottom – that is how you know the application compiled successfully.
When you have a clean build, in your emulator or device, open up the application launcher, typically found at the bottom of the home screen:

                                                   Android emulator application launcher
Notice there is an icon for your Now application. Click on it to open it and see your first activity in action. T o leave the application and return to the launcher, press the "BACK button", located to the right of the [MENU] button, and looks like an arrow pointing to the left.
