AeroGear's Android libraries were built as jar and aar packages using Maven and the android-maven-plugin. The project follows the standard Maven layout so it can be imported directly into most IDEs as a Maven project.

AeroGear for Android provides support for integrating with push. Currently only using Google’s Cloud Messaging (GCM) with the AeroGear UnifiedPush Server is supported, but we are planning to add support for Mozilla’s Simple Push, MQTT, and standalone GCM soon.

Please take a look at the step by step guide on our website.

The following dependencies are required to build this project:

• aerogear-android-core
• aerogear-android-pipe

There are two supported ways of developing apps using AeroGear for Android: Android Studio and Maven.
