General configuration

The Android SDK should be installed and setup up correctly, particularly the 'android' command should be in the PATH.

Tasks

You can list options in the crosswalk target.

Example Gruntfile.js

  grunt.initConfig({
    ...
    packageInfo: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
    ...
    crosswalk: {
      options: {
        verbose: true, // informative output, otherwise quiet

        debug: false, // includes output of rm and cp commands (-v option)

        version: '<%= packageInfo.version %>',

        // display name for the app on the device;
        // the sanitisedName used to construct the Locations object later
        // is derived from this
        name: '<%= packageInfo.name %>',

        // package for the app's generated Java files; this works best if
        // you have at least one period character between two character
        // strings, and no digits
        pkg: 'org.org01.webapps.<%= packageInfo.name.toLowerCase() %>',

        // the icon used in the android launcher/etc
        icon: 'icon_128.png',

        // path to the directory containing your HTML5 app;
        // note that this must use the correct path separators for your
        // platform: Windows uses '\\' while Linux uses '/'
        appRoot: 'build/apk'
      },
     }
      ...
    },
    ...
  }
