#This is a set of instruction to utilize the code offloading converter at https://github.com/huberflores/CodeOffloadingAnnotations.git

1) Clone the repository and built the tool using mvn install

2) Create an Android project with the code to offload. Annotated the required method to offload with "@Cloud"
for example

@Cloud
public void foo(){

}


3) Use the tool to generate two new applications. One for server, and the other for client.

4) Locate the server and client, in their respective locations - For simplicity, use Android maven -> check (https://gist.github.com/huberflores/9168757) for Technical information

4-1) ProjectName_Server
- Import into Eclipse
- Remove the annotations. The project should be without any error.
- Transform to maven 
	Click root project -> right click -> Configure -> Convert to Maven Project
	fill the required data. Important "In the packing description, put apk"

	go to the pom.xml, and include this information. Below, a sample pom.xml

- Upload to the cloud via scp. The apk should be located in the android-x86 folder, which contains ./rund.sh 

$ scp -i /home/huber/Desktop/TechnicalInformation/HuberFlores/Ireland/pk-huber_flores.pem -r ./file_name.apk ubuntu@ec2-54-195-71-139.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:/home/ubuntu/android-x86/

Start the server in the instance
$ ./rund.sh -cp OffloadableComponent_Server.apk edu.ut.mobile.network.Main


4-2) ProjectName_Client
- Import into Eclipse
- Remove the annotations

- Install thea app in your device. However, check that the application has the permissions required in the Android manifest. (e.g. Internet)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.cloud.cloudTest"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <service android:enabled="true" android:name="CloudService"/>
	<service android:enabled="true" android:name="LocalService"/>
        
        
    </application>
    
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"> </uses-permission>
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"> </uses-permission>
</manifest>

-Run the application in your device/emulator
