We started a new android project at work today. Since there isn't any legacy development we wanted to get it started right, with a continuous integration environment so we wanted to automate the build and testing as an ant task. I was unable to find anything on the android developer site outlining the process to set this up, so I turned to the internet. Nothing on the first couple pages of google results had a complete recipe so I figured I ought to share the solution we used.
