Android demo app with GitHub Actions CI/CD flow.

Outcome Passing pipeline run plus scan/deploy evidence
Tools used Android, Gradle, GitHub Actions
Best fit Intermediate - 2-3 hours
Student workstation Repository files CI/CD pipeline Reference architecture Validation proof
  • Install or review: Android, Gradle, GitHub Actions.
  • No cloud provider credentials are required by the project metadata.
  • This project can be practiced locally before you publish portfolio evidence.
  • Open the safety guide before running commands that create infrastructure.
Cost and credential stance

Cost risk is low. Cloud target: no cloud provider. Cloud credentials needed: No. Always use your own account, never commit secrets, and confirm cleanup before creating paid infrastructure.

Use this flow before you run commands:

  1. Read the cost and credential warning above.
  2. Review the validation, troubleshooting, cleanup, and portfolio proof sections below.
  3. Follow the original project guide preserved near the bottom of this page.
  4. Return to the validation and cleanup checks before you capture portfolio evidence.

Run the project validation command before and after meaningful changes:

Terminal window
./android-demo-app/gradlew -p android-demo-app tasks
  • Run ./android-demo-app/gradlew -p android-demo-app tasks first so local tooling issues are visible early.
  • If a command fails, check tool versions, working directory, and required environment variables.
  • For pipeline failures, check repository secrets, runner permissions, and pinned action versions.

Cleanup is available or expected for this lab. Use the cleanup or destroy steps in the guide below, then confirm that local clusters, containers, cloud resources, buckets, state files, and CI secrets are no longer active.

  • Validation command output: ./android-demo-app/gradlew -p android-demo-app tasks
  • Screenshot or terminal proof: Passing pipeline run plus scan/deploy evidence
  • Notes explaining what changed, what failed, and how you fixed it
  • Cleanup evidence, especially for cloud or Kubernetes resources

The original README content is preserved here for lab-specific commands and context. Headings are intentionally demoted so the page outline stays focused on the standard lab flow.
