Starting March 27, 2025, we recommend using android-latest-release instead of aosp-main to build and contribute to AOSP. For more information, see Changes to AOSP.

TF development environment

Trade Federation is distributed with the AOSP and uses the Android build system to create its binary. Make sure you've established a build environment to compile and run packages from the Android source tree.

Build Tradefed

From the root directory of the Android source tree:

source ./build/make/envsetup.sh
lunch <device-target>
make tradefed-all -j8

See Developing Tradefed for more details about how to set up your environment for coding in Tradefed.

Run from command line

Tradefed requires the adb utility in your $PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:<path/to/adb>

If Tradefed was built, the tradefed.sh launcher script is accessible from your path. To launch the Trade Federation Console:

tradefed.sh

Now your environment is set up for Trade Federation.
