Testing and Deploying Endpoints with App Engine

Note: These instructions assume you've already created your Android app and App Engine backend

Testing Locally

To test an Endpoint in the local environment using the App Engine development server:

  1. Click Run on the App Engine application to start the local development server:

  2. In your Android project, set CloudEndpointUtils.LOCAL_ANDROID_RUN to true. This indicates that the Android application connects to the local development server.
  3. Run your Android application in your emulator running with a target with Google APIs :

Deploying to App Engine

To deploy the App Engine project to App Engine:

  1. Set the Application ID for the App Engine project: Project > Properties > Google > App Engine > Application ID

    Notice that the client libraries for the Android app get generated automatically at this point, with the correct URL to reach the backend.
  2. Deploy using the wizard as shown below:

  • In your Android project within the CloudEndpoints class, set LOCAL_ANDROID_RUN to false. This indicates that the Android application connects to the remote App Engine app.
  • Run your Android application in your emulator running with a target with Google APIs .
  • Verify that the Notes were inserted in the Datastore Viewer of your App Engine backend .
